Krafton's creative studio 5MinLab has dropped the very first official trailer for World Fiction Control Association: WPCA (hereinafter WPCA), a brand new anomaly containment hunting action game currently in the works. Look, let's be honest, it is quite a debut, having first been broadcast to the masses during Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SIE) global gaming showcase, State of Play.

Released on September 3, the trailer gives you a proper peek into the eccentric lore of WPCA alongside actual in-game action. Set against the backdrop of modern Seoul, you get a solid look at battles involving all sorts of supernatural anomalies known as "fictions," plus the containment agents trying to keep them in check while teaming up. WPCA drops you into a world where reality bends to supernatural anomalies that defy all common sense of modern civilization. You step into the shoes of an "agent" belonging to the Seoul branch of the World Fiction Control Association, tasked with hunting down, felling, and locking away these reality-threatening "fictions."

The gameplay loop is delightfully straightforward: you take the materials harvested from containing these "fictions," forge shiny new weapons, beef up your combat builds, and head out to face the next threat. Every single "fiction" comes with its own distinct traits and fighting style, meaning you will need to rely on basic attacks, skills, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and the surrounding environment to neutralize them. Expect massive, towering "fictions" in back-to-back boss fights driven by some seriously snappy action. There is also a satisfying progression system waiting for you, letting you craft powerful armaments from your spoils and mix and match various skills, passives, and random stat gear to curate your very own bespoke combat build.

WPCA does not just cater to lone wolves either, supporting co-op play for up to three players to hunt and contain "fictions" together. 5MinLab CEO Park Moon-hyung shared a few thoughts on the matter: "We are absolutely thrilled to introduce WPCA to players across the globe through this State of Play. We are pouring all our energy into development to deliver a game that blends a unique universe where association agents clash with supernatural 'fictions,' an urban fantasy vibe set right in Seoul, and some seriously punchy action."

WPCA is currently aiming for a global release in the third quarter of 2028, with plans to land on PlayStation and various other platforms. 5MinLab intends to drop details regarding the first test schedule and how to participate sometime this October via the official Discord and X channels. You can scope out more detailed information on the game through the official YouTube, Discord, and X channels.
