Webzen plans to release MU Theos, a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based on its flagship MU intellectual property (IP), in the first half of 2027.
The company on November 3 unveiled the game’s official title and brand identity (BI), marking the start of preparations for its launch.
MU Theos retains the MU series’ signature fast character leveling and progression systems. Webzen said development is focused on expanding character progression content and player-versus-player competition, while introducing what it described as a reasonable monetization model (BM).
Webzen plans to unveil the game’s first trailer at G-Star 2026, an international gaming exhibition scheduled to run from November 19 to 22 at BEXCO in Busan.
The company is also developing another title based on the MU IP, tentatively named Project G. The hack-and-slash action role-playing game (RPG) is being developed by Webzen Redstar, a Webzen subsidiary.
Webzen is also pursuing development of games based on new IP. At this year’s G-Star, the company will showcase I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game: LAST STAGE, a command-based strategy RPG based on a Naver Webtoon series. The game is being developed with a target release in 2027.
