Kakao Games Dokkaebi MMORPG development

Overview

Kakao Games has announced the upcoming launch of its new 2.5D MMORPG, ‘Realm of Dokkaebi’ (also referred to as ‘World of Dokkaebi’), which is scheduled for release in October. Developed by Supercat and based on the web novel ‘Myeolgwi Sudojeon’, the game utilizes a hybrid visual style combining 2D pixel-art characters with 3D backgrounds and real-time lighting.

Key features include an infinite skill deck-building system, an optional player-versus-player (PvP) system, and an artificial intelligence assistant. Following the initial unveiling, the company announced an online showcase for September 8 to reveal in-game footage, combat sequences, and specific service directions. The project, which involves collaboration with Redice Studio, is viewed by analysts as a potential driver for Kakao Games’ financial recovery following several quarters of operating losses.
