Nexon's making a pivot from live-service games to single-player. The publisher behind The First Descendant just surprised us with something completely different by dropping a trailer for Woochi the Wayfarer, an action-adventure game that draws from classic Korean literature.
This new trailer drop comes along with the announcement that award-winning Parasite and Squid Game composer, Jung Jae-il, will be on board for this game, which is currently being developed using Unreal Engine 5.
If you like watching Korean period pieces, and you're waiting for a game that celebrates Korean culture, this might just be our best chance to see it.
What is Woochi the Wayfarer?
Woochi the Wayfarer pulls its inspiration from "The Tale of Jeon Woo-chi," a Korean classic about a scholar who uses his powers to fight injustice and mock the corrupt elite like Robin Hood, except he's got supernatural powers of his own.
The original folk story happens during a time of severe famine and pirate raids on Korea's southern coast. While the common people barely scraped by on anything they could get their hands on, Woo-chi decided to use his abilities to help them out.
Now, if you're expecting...
