Look, if you were planning to head to the Olympic Park for the 'OVERDRIVE' showcase on the 13th, you might want to adjust your sat-nav: the venue has been shifted to KINTEX.

Nexon confirmed on the 8th that the summer showcase, 'OVERDRIVE', will now take place at Hall 9 of KINTEX Exhibition Center II. Originally, the event was slated for the Ticketlink Live Arena at Seoul Olympic Park. However, following protests at the Jamsil polling station that started on the 5th and the subsequent chaos, concerns about hosting the event there became impossible to ignore. We have already seen other concerts disrupted by unauthorised occupations, causing nothing but headaches for attendees.

It seems clear that hosting an offline event at Olympic Park became a logistical nightmare, leaving Nexon with no choice but to scramble for a new venue. In a statement, the publisher noted, "We ask for the generous understanding of our heroes regarding this last-minute venue change notice," adding, "We are doing our absolute best to ensure the showcase remains a fantastic experience for everyone."

For those who already secured tickets, fear not—Nexon plans to map out new seating at KINTEX that respects your original booking. If the change has scuppered your plans, you can cancel your tickets for a full refund without any fees until 5 PM on the 11th. To sweeten the deal, Nexon will also be handing out 30,000 Nexon Cash on the 18th as a conciliatory gesture for the inconvenience.

OVERDRIVE remains a pivotal moment for the game, as it’s where the team will pull back the curtain on the massive summer update, future service direction, and fresh content. Beyond the main stage, the event is still set to be a nationwide affair with live broadcasts across Lotte Cinema locations, ensuring players across the country can get in on the action. Best of luck with the travel plans, mates.
