Netmarble opened the official YouTube channel for Pearl in Blue on August 14 and released a new teaser PV. The video shows the game's 3D character models in motion for the first time, including scenes of the girls manifesting their weapons called Pearl Light. The PV also confirmed that the game will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026, though specific details about the booth or playable demo have not been announced yet. Pearl in Blue is a free-to-play mobile RPG for iOS and Android, developed by Netmarble N2. The game is set on an island called Kenan Island, where players act as managers for girls called "Garappo" who have not yet awakened their pearls. The concept is described as a "monthly romantic comedy," with new heroines and stories added each month. The teaser PV highlights the awakening of the character Ichiha, whose weapon emerges from the sole of her foot after she removes her sock. The game's world revolves around pearls that embody human desires and the knights who wield them.
- Netmarble is also exhibiting Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Strongest Species and Solo Leveling: KARMA at Tokyo Game Show 2026, alongside Pearl in Blue.
- The knight group shown in the key visual is called Dark Night, led by the pink-haired Ichiha. Nika, a cool blue-haired girl, is the team's ace. Miho has top-class sniping skill but low stamina, and Yotsuba is shy and the youngest of the group.
- The group name is spelled "Night" because Ichiha mistook it for the word "Knight."
- Kenan Island, the game's setting, developed around its knights. The player-manager's duties include running livestreams, social media, events, ads, and merchandise sales to generate revenue.
- Nika wields a greatsword in the PV that differs from the one in her previously released illustration, hinting at a change in her story position.
- The teaser site offers a newsletter called "Chirachira Communication" for irregular updates.
- Pearls grow through overcoming pain and adversity, a theme that runs through the whole story.
- The game will be free-to-play with in-app purchases.
