JoyCity announced on the 25th that pre-registration has begun for 'Imjin War: Joseon's Counterattack', a Korean historical MMORPG developed by RedZingo Games.

'Imjin War: Joseon's Counterattack' is the latest project by director Tae-gon Kim, who has showcased numerous hits based on Korean history, including 'Imjinrok', 'The Great Merchant', and 'Goonzu Online'. Set against the backdrop of the 1592 Imjin War, the game implements the battlefields of the three nations—Joseon, Japan, and the Ming Dynasty—into an MMORPG, offering the fun of collecting and nurturing heroes such as Yi Sun-sin and Kim Si-min.

Players can experience combat that encompasses both naval and siege warfare by operating actual weaponry such as the Turtle Ship, Panokseon, and Hwacha (Singijeon). In particular, free trading is possible through a cross-server integrated marketplace, and the game features a manufacturing-based economic structure where players use resources obtained from hunting and gathering to create core assets.

JoyCity will provide rewards such as officer summoning warrants, various scrolls, and in-game currency to all users who participate in the pre-registration for use after the official launch. Director Tae-gon Kim of RedZingo Games stated, "'Imjin War: Joseon's Counterattack' is a work we have put great effort into to combine the weight of historical accuracy with the fun of a modern MMORPG. We ask for your support during this pre-registration."

'Imjin War: Joseon's Counterattack' is scheduled for an official global release on mobile and PC platforms in the first half of 2026.
