Netmarble announced that the free-to-play vampire MMORPG VAMPIR will officially launch in Japan on July 22 for iOS, Android, and PC. The game, already popular overseas with 200,000 concurrent users in South Korea, will feature cross-play, Japan-exclusive servers, and global servers at launch.
Netmarble confirmed the Japanese launch date for VAMPIR on June 25. The game will be free-to-play and support cross-play across iOS, Android, and PC via Netmarble Launcher. Developed by key staff from Netmarble Neo who worked on Lineage 2 Revolution and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, VAMPIR launched in South Korea in August 2025 and hit 200,000 concurrent users while ranking first in sales on both Google Play and the App Store. It also held the longest number-one run among new Korean titles in 2025. After expanding to Chinese-speaking regions, global concurrent users exceeded 120,000.
The Japanese version includes optimizations and localization based on the Korean release. Players can choose Japan-exclusive servers or global servers to compete with Korean and Taiwanese players. At launch on July 22, content includes the clan-defense mode Relic Defense Line, the combat-focused inter-server mode Gehenna, and the World Integrated Exchange. August will add clan occupation battles and world bosses, with 5v5 party battlefields arriving in September. Pre-registration is open, with growth materials for registrants. A character and clan name pre-registration event starts June 26, and the final pre-launch livestream is set for July 15 at 19:00.
