KakaoPage's hit webtoon, Player Who Can't Level Up, is making the leap into an action roguelite title.

Smilegate announced on the 8th that it has signed a global publishing deal for the new action roguelite, Player Who Can't Level Up. The title is being developed by V.E.D.A developer TriPearl Games. The narrative follows the protagonist, Kim Ki-kyu, who is unable to level up, instead evolving combat styles and growing stronger through the use of Ego Fragments.

Reflecting this premise, the game adopts a roguelite genre, allowing you to craft fresh combinations and strategies in every run. It promises fast-paced combat and stylish action, all rendered in Unreal Engine 5 to bring the webtoon's world to life. Player Who Can't Level Up is slated for a release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in the second half of 2026, with a mobile version also in the pipeline.

Meanwhile, Smilegate will showcase the game at the Stove booth during the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2025, held at BEXCO, Busan, from the 15th to the 17th. Furthermore, it will be presented at the Korea Pavilion booth during Tokyo Game Show 2025, taking place from September 25th to 28th.

Smilegate director Yeo Seung-hwan stated, "TriPearl Games is a developer with both technical prowess and sharp design skills, evidenced by our consecutive publishing deals. This new title, based on a globally beloved webtoon IP, has the potential to set a new standard for action games on consoles. We plan to expand our engagement with players on the global stage, starting with BIC."
