Synthesized from 10 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Netmarble's recent slate spans several genres and platforms, with a clear push into live-service and serialized content. The most prominent launch is Vampire, a free-to-play vampire MMORPG that went live globally on July 22, 2026, for iOS and Android, developed by the core team behind Netmarble Neo's Lineage 2 Revolution and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. The game emphasizes auto-play, with an offline mode extending hunting sessions, and launched with cooperative and inter-server modes. Two days after launch, heavy traffic forced the addition of a new Japan-only server, Lennox 1, as five of six servers restricted new character creation.

Netmarble continues to expand its portfolio with Pearl in Blue, a free-to-play mobile RPG developed by Netmarble N2, announced in July 2026 with a teaser site and later a teaser PV showing 3D models for the first time. The game's 'Monthly Romantic Comedy' concept commits to monthly heroine additions, and it will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026. Meanwhile, Seven Deadly Sins: Origin reached its half-anniversary with a broadcast that added Ban as an SSR character, completing the core lineup, plus new events and solo content.

Other titles remain in active development and service. Solo Leveling: Karma, a PC and mobile game launching this year, released trailers covering a webtoon arc the anime has not adapted, with A-1 Pictures animating the opening. Mongil: STAR DIVE received developer notes for a July 8 update targeting enhancement difficulty. Netmarble's strategy centers on frequent content updates, cross-platform availability, and community events like the Vampire Dinner Party held before launch.

Netmarble officially launched the vampire-themed MMORPG 'Vampire' on July 22, 2026, for iOS and Android. The game is developed by the core team behind Netmarble Neo's 'Lineage 2 Revolution' and 'Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds'. It features a gothic horror setting, a blood-sucking system that replaces traditional healers, and clearly defined player-kill areas. At launch, content includes the cooperative 'Relic Defense Battle' for clan members and the inter-server combat mode 'Gehenna'. Servers are split into a Japanese player server and a global server for competition with players from Korea and Taiwan. Commemorative events are rolling out, including a boost event increasing gold and experience gains by 20% and double rewards for daily events. A pre-release hands-on article by 4Gamer.net tested the game's extensive auto-play features, including offline mode that continues hunting for up to 8 hours daily for free, or 24 hours with a paid service. The reviewer found that auto-progression handled most quests and field battles, with manual intervention needed only for equipment upgrades and difficult content like the Epic dungeon.
