To live up to users’ expectations and add value to the biggest game festival in Korea, NC is gearing up to hold various programs, from demonstrations to stage performances. NC unveiled introduction videos for seven of its entries, which include a shooting game LLL, a combat action game Battle Crush, an MMORPG Throne And Liberty, an MMORTS game Project G, an interactive adventure game Project M, a collective RPG Project BSS and a puzzle game Puzzup Amitoi.

LLL, Battle Crush and BSS will be showcased in demonstration booths. Visitors can explore new games on different consoles, suitable for each game. LLL and BSS can be played on a PC, while Battle Crush is available on the Nintendo Switch.

NC also plans to take advantage of the opportunities at G-Star, where developers and users can directly meet and communicate.

Trailers of upcoming new projects, Project G and Project M, will be released, and developers will participate in the event to explain the development progress.

Throne And Liberty (TL), scheduled for release in December, will also be showcased through a demo play at G-Star. The TL development team will personally demonstrate the latest version on the G-Star stage. Users will be able to see the improved version, which incorporated user feedback including changes to the combat system.
