NCsoft published the Steam store page for Cinder City on July 1, 2026, revealing an open-world third-person shooter set in a ruined near-future Seoul.

The system requirements quickly became the story's centerpiece: 32GB of RAM for minimum and 64GB for recommended. International outlets including VGC and PC Gamer noted that no previous PC game has recommended 64GB of RAM.
