A new MMORPG is currently being developed in Korea, backed by a budget of over 35 million dollars. It is intended to be a pure PC game aimed at international players.
What kind of game is it? Under the project title N1, the Korean studio Nyou is working on a fantasy MMORPG that targets the international market.
The Unreal Engine 4 will be used to ensure highly detailed graphics. It is not known whether there will be a shift to Unreal Engine 5.
- The MMORPG is to be a pure PC game
- It is set to be released worldwide and will be published via Steam
- The scenario is expected to mix a rather realistic medieval setting with fantasy elements
- You will make decisions throughout the game that will affect the further course
- All characters are designed in a more western style. There will be no sexualization of heroines
Big money for a new MMORPG
What about the budget? The developers have managed to raise more than 35 million dollars from 9 investors, including the KDB Development Bank. This amount is intended to create a large MMORPG that places a high value on production quality and aims to be successful in the international market.
Through this investment, we will recruit talented people to improve the quality of the game. In particular, through active collaboration with strategic investors, who have top-notch know-how and service infrastructures for game development, the creation of high-quality game content, and a successful business, we do our best to develop a successful game.

What does the game look like? Currently, there is only one artwork showing some characters. These do not give the impression of an Asian MMORPG. This indicates the strong focus on marketing project N1 in western countries.
When is the MMORPG expected to be released? The release is planned for late 2021 via Steam.
What do you expect from this MMORPG? Are you looking forward to it? Do you think that 35 million dollars is a big enough budget?
