A major gaming company is developing a new MMORPG based on Game of Thrones

Evidence has been found that suggests South Korean gaming company Netmarble is working on a new game set in the Game of Thrones fantasy world. Current job posting is looking for a translator with knowledge of the Game of Thrones universe. The game has the working title Project T (Game of Thrones).

What kind of company is this?

• Netmarble is one of the largest gaming companies in South Korea. They specialize in MMORPGs and mobile games.
• Netmarble is known for taking big brands relevant to pop culture and creating games for them: the most famous being the RPG Marvel Future Fights. The mobile MMORPG Lineage 2 Revolution was also a hit – it is based on the MMORPG brand from NCSoft.
• In February 2022, Netmarble announced that it would develop an MMORPG under the Game of Thrones brand. But nothing was heard about it for the next two years. Now evidence of evolution has been found.

The MMORPG is obviously based on the HBO TV series

What was advertising at that time? In February 2022, it was said that the new game would be developed in collaboration with HBO Max and Warner Bros. Entertainment. A trailer showed scenes reminiscent of the HBO series, such as the antagonist “The Night King” or the wall in the north of the country.

After two years of radio silence, a job advertisement was discovered

Here are the new clues: After two years without any specific information, Netmarble has now posted a job advertisement (via Catch.co-KR), looking for an in-house translator for the T (Game of Thrones) project. Obviously, this is an MMORPG that was introduced a couple of years ago.

The job posting shows that it is a game for Unreal Engine 5.

Can you look forward to the game? Limited. On the one hand, this seems to be a “PC and mobile” game. Although these games are the norm in South Korea, they are still viewed critically in the West. Many European MMORPG players prefer it Pure PC or console gaming He dismissed handheld port games as inferior games.

Netmarble, on the other hand, has a reputation for relying on a very aggressive monetization approach through these games. Games like Marvel Future Fights, while very well thought out and complex, also contain layers upon layers of microtransactions and purchasable resources.
