<\/a>\u00a9 Kakao Games<\/p>\nOn August 20, Kakao Games (co-CEOs Kim Tae-hwan and Lee Si-woo) held a media showcase for “Dokkaebi World,” a new 2.5D MMORPG currently under development by Supercat (CEO Kim Won-bae), revealing the game’s key features and service roadmap.<\/p>\n
“Dokkaebi World” is an MMORPG in development based on the popular Naver web novel and webtoon “Myeolgwi Sudojeon.” Applying a hybrid visual style that combines 2D pixel characters with 3D backgrounds, the game delivers both retro nostalgia and three-dimensional spatial depth, completing a unique universe with pixel art imbued with traditional Korean sentiment. Furthermore, collaboration with REDICE STUDIO\u2014the webtoon studio behind “Solo Leveling”\u2014has elevated its quality as a K-fantasy IP.<\/p>\n
The showcase began with opening remarks from Kakao Games CEO Lee Si-woo, followed by Supercat Producer Park Sung-jun, Director Jang Su-min, and Kakao Games Head of Business Division Cha Myeong-su taking the stage dressed in hanbok to match the game’s theme. They presented “Dokkaebi World” and answered questions from the audience. The development team sequentially detailed the Korean-inspired world concept, 2.5D graphics, core gameplay content, key systems, future development plans, and service roadmap.<\/p>\n
Revealed game features included key content such as: \u25b2 “Infinite Skill Deck Building,” allowing players to freely combine 12 skill styles regardless of class; \u25b2 an opt-in PvP system where players choose whether to participate; \u25b2 “Clan PvE Avatar Dispatch,” which continues activities while offline; \u25b2 the AI assistant “Myorong,” providing various insights based on user activity data; and \u25b2 “Dimensional Conquest,” a large-scale battle mode supporting up to 9,000 players.<\/p>\n
Alongside the media showcase, Kakao Games officially opened pre-registration for “Dokkaebi World” today. Players can participate through the Kakao Games pre-registration page, Google Play, Apple App Store, and other major app stores. Participants via Kakao Games pre-registration can choose and receive one of four in-game “gat” (traditional hat) costumes, while friend invitation events offer various prizes including a “24K Pure Gold Goblin Club (3 don \/ ~11.25g).”<\/p>\n
In addition, Kakao Games is offering limited-edition “Dokkaebi World” collaboration merch packages signed by Park Ji-hoon and “Park Ji-hoon photocards” through the pre-registration event.<\/p>\n
Coinciding with the start of pre-registration, the main commercial starring actor Park Ji-hoon themed around “Rebellion” was premiered on site. The “Park Ji-hoon’s Rebellion” ad humorously depicts Park Ji-hoon looking over a world under foreign rule before staging a revolt alongside various pixel art characters. In particular, through a unique staging where medieval fantasy MMORPG characters and cute, Korean-styled pixel art characters clash and launch a rebellion on the same screen, it showcases the distinct world of “Dokkaebi World.”<\/p>\n
To capture the authentic Korean sentiment of the new title “Dokkaebi World,” Kakao Games collaborated with hanbok brand OUWR through the Korea Craft & Design Foundation’s “2026 Corporate-Linked Traditional Cultural Product Development” project, producing collaborative hanbok and various themed merchandise.<\/p>\n
Kakao Games plans to host an online showcase for players in September to reveal additional core content and detailed service plans for “Dokkaebi World,” while accelerating final preparations ahead of a targeted official launch in October.<\/p>\n
