Just a week after the official launch of Season 3 of The First Descendant, Nexon is now going even further with the announcement of a new game titled Woochi the Wayfarer.
This decision seems to demonstrate the aggressive spirit of the South Korean developer to continue strengthening their portfolio in the gaming world. They showcase innovation by highlighting the richness of Korean culture and traditional mythology through the action-adventure genre for PC and console platforms.
Although considered a quick and bold move, this announcement has generated enthusiasm and curiosity among fans. Given that this upcoming game is likely to bring a new vibe that differs from previous works.
AAA Action Game Set in the Joseon Era
Woochi the Wayfarer is introduced as a single-player action adventure game with a fantasy theme set in the Joseon era of Korea. There are no RPG elements that would make you curious about how the mechanics of this game are presented.
With Korean culture and mythology as its foundation, players will take on the role of a character named Jeon Woochi, adapted from the classic Korean novel The Tale of Jeon Woochi.
He is described as a figure who strongly opposes injustice and corruption. The game features action gameplay, music, and traditional Korean monsters, as well as a setting with a strong magical atmosphere.
Woochi the Wayfarer will use Unreal Engine 5 as its main platform. This project is being developed by LoreVault, which is serving as the lead developer.
To ensure authenticity and cultural richness, they will collaborate with experts in Korean literature and traditional music. This collaboration aims to preserve cultural aspects as one of the core values of the project.
When it comes to music, Nexon has enlisted Jung Jae-il, the composer behind the film Parasite and the series Squid Game, to work on the soundtrack. Although there is no official release date yet, Woochi the Wayfarer has considerable potential.
For now, Woochi the Wayfarer is planned to be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and of course, PC.
What do you think? Sounds like an interesting project?
