Netmarble has released a new trailer for its upcoming title, Shangri-La Frontier, which is currently being developed based on the manga IP from Japanese publisher Kodansha.

The source material, Shangri-La Frontier, follows a protagonist with a penchant for notoriously terrible games as they dive into the titular VR world—a massive virtual reality experience boasting over 30 million total users.

Originating as a web novel that clocked in at a staggering 900 million views in Japan, the franchise has flourished; the comic adaptation, serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, has surpassed 13 million copies in circulation. With the second season of the anime already aired, a third season is officially in the works.

The game is currently under development at Netmarble Nexus and aims to faithfully recreate the IP’s expansive world. Players can expect to interact with a colorful cast of NPCs and companions while tackling the seven unique monsters central to the story. The gameplay features a one-handed, two-character tag-team combat system designed to offer a variety of tactical experiences.

To mark 'ShangPro Day' on July 7, the new footage was released via the official Shangri-La Frontier animation and Netmarble YouTube channels. The video showcases the world of Shangri-La Frontier, including intense boss encounters with the likes of Vorpal Bunny and Wezaemon the Tombguard, along with character cutscenes and core combat mechanics.
