AI Summary

Netmarble showcased new titles at Tokyo Game Show 2026. Crowds swarmed booths for Shangri-La Frontier and Solo Leveling. Attendees flooded demo stations for Pearl in Blue as well.

Netmarble has rolled up to Tokyo Game Show 2026 with a diverse lineup of new titles. Starting with Shangri-La Frontier: Seven Colossi, based on the hit Japanese web novel, along with Solo Leveling: Karma built on the globally adored Solo Leveling IP, and Pearl in Blue leaning into romantic comedy. It feels like they gathered every genre and theme that plays well in Japan, and I decided to pay a personal visit to the Netmarble booth at the Tokyo Game Show 2026 venue. Regardless of the game type, massive crowds were packed shoulder to shoulder.

넷마블이 도쿄게임쇼 2026에 다양한 신작을 들고 찾아왔다. 일본 인기 웹소설을 원작으로 한 '샹그릴라 프론티어: 일곱 최강종'을 시작으로 전 세계적인 인기를 끌고 있는 '나 혼자만 레벨업' IP로 만든 '나 혼자만 레벨업: 카르마', 러브코미디를 내세운 '펄 인 블루'다. 일본에서 잘 먹히는 장르와 소재를 싹 모아온 느낌인데, 도쿄게임쇼 2026 현장에 마련된 넷마블 부스를 직접 방문했다. 게임 종류를 막론하고 수많은 인파가 인산인해를 이루고 있었다.
