Project OVERKILL Takes a Step Closer to China
Nexon and Tencent are teaming up to bring Project OVERKILL, an upcoming online action RPG set in the Dungeon&Fighter universe, to players in China. The agreement was signed by Nexon’s subsidiary, Neople, the developer behind the popular franchise, which will work closely with Tencent to prepare a version of the game tailored specifically for the Chinese market.
Project OVERKILL is a new action RPG that expands the world of Dungeon&Fighter. The game will launch on PC in China, although Nexon has yet to reveal a release date or provide a launch window. The companies also plan to hyperlocalize the experience to better match the tastes and preferences of Chinese players.
The upcoming title is part of Nexon’s broader efforts to expand the Dungeon&Fighter franchise beyond its original experience. Other projects based on the same universe include The First Berserker: Khazan, Arad: Idle RPG, Dungeon&Fighter Classic, and Dungeon&Fighter: ARAD, giving fans several ways to explore the popular series.
Nexon President and CEO Junghun Lee described Project OVERKILL as a fresh perspective on the Dungeon&Fighter universe, specifically designed for its large Chinese fanbase. He also highlighted the company’s long-standing partnership with Tencent, which previously helped bring Dungeon&Fighter to PC players in China.
With Tencent’s experience in the Chinese gaming market and Neople’s knowledge of the franchise, Project OVERKILL could become another major addition to the series. Fans will have to wait for further details, particularly its release date, to see what this new chapter has in store.
