Wemade Max announced that its subsidiary, LightCON, soft-launched its new idle RPG, 'WIND runner Idle,' on the 20th. This game is a reimagining of the 'Windrunner' IP, which previously recorded 60 million cumulative downloads. LightCON has initiated the soft launch in the Philippines and Hong Kong, and plans to officially release the game in the global market, including Korea, within this year after incorporating feedback from local users.

'WIND runner Idle' moves away from the running-centric gameplay of the original 'Windrunner' and focuses on hack-and-slash action content where players defeat waves of enemies. Notably, it introduces a 'combo system,' which is rare in existing idle RPGs, to provide a differentiated combat experience. Additional damage is applied as the combo stage increases, and a 'Fever' buff is activated upon reaching a certain threshold.

In this game, players can encounter major characters from the original 'Windrunner,' such as 'Chloe,' with upgraded graphics. Various collection elements including characters, summons, and mounts are available, and side content such as 'Pico Bonus Stage' and 'Summoner Land' provide diverse fun and rewards.

Gil-hyung Lee, CEO of LightCON, stated, "As this title is based on the beloved 'Windrunner' IP, we expect to deliver both familiar fun and nostalgia to players both at home and abroad."
