KRAFTON and its creative studio NIRVANANA Studio have begun recruiting participants for the first global playtest of Project ZETA, an online battle action game in the Multi-Team Tactical Arena (MTA) genre. The test runs June 25-28 on Steam, with time slots set for Japan/Asia, Europe, and North America. Unlike conventional two-team hero PvP games, Project ZETA has four teams of three players (12 total) battling on one map to secure an object called the Prism and bring it to a designated base. The game combines third-person shooter action with PvE monster-hunting elements and features 14 heroes across four classes. KRAFTON says it will use play data and feedback from this test to adjust game balance and development ahead of an early access release planned for the second half of 2026.
