Netmarble has unveiled the first video for its upcoming subculture game, 'Pearl in Blue', which will be showcased at the Tokyo Game Show in September.

On August 14, Netmarble released the introductory video for 'Pearl in Blue' via its official YouTube channel. Developed by Netmarble N2, this mobile subculture collectible RPG has not yet announced an official release date.

The primary setting of 'Pearl in Blue' is the massive city of 'Geoman-do'. Whenever disasters or villains appear, girls known as 'Knights' are deployed. These Knights are not only combatants but also celebrities who handle broadcasts, social media activities, and merchandise sales; those who reach the pinnacle are called 'Top Swords'.

The core substance of the world, 'Pearl', represents the seeds of desire within humans. These seeds grow through trials and suffering, eventually manifesting as weapons called 'Pearlight'. Players take on the role of a manager who assists girls—referred to as 'shells' for not yet awakening the power of the Pearl. As a manager, you will listen to their concerns, guide their growth, and build connections with them.

The video highlights urban combat rendered in 3D cartoon-style graphics. It showcases various character actions, including melee combat with spears, long-range sniper attacks, and kicks. It also features lines related to the characters' desires, such as "I want to shine brightly" and "I want to protect the town."

'Pearl in Blue' will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe in Japan from September 17 to 21, where a world-view experience zone will be provided for visitors.
