[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] NCSoft (hereafter NC) is reviving PC games such as 'Trickster' and 'Pangya' in mobile versions. Having claimed the throne of MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) with 'Lineage,' NC is also strengthening casual genres like golf and baseball.

On the 2nd, NC held a new game presentation event called 'TRINITY WAVE' at The Raum in Seoul, unveiling three new mobile games under development by its subsidiary, Ntreev Soft (hereafter Ntreev).

At the event, Ntreev revealed 'TricksterM' and 'PangyaM,' developed using its own intellectual property (IP), as well as the next baseball management game, 'Pro Baseball H3.' All these games are mobile versions. Lee Sung-gu, General Producer of Ntreev Soft and head of project development and business, presented detailed information about the three new titles.

TricksterM is a mobile MMORPG developed using the IP of the PC game 'Trickster,' which Ntreev operated from 2003 to 2014. It inherits the beloved 'drill action' and 2D dot graphics from the original. The game implements collision processing technology between characters and a seamless world without interruptions, enabling strategic and smooth gameplay.

The producer explained, "Although the PC version of Trickster has already ended, we have revived it through the mobile version. While existing MMORPGs mainly focus on hunting and combat, TricksterM emphasizes adventurous content."

PangyaM is a mobile fantasy golf game utilizing the IP of the PC game 'Pangya.' Pangya is one of Ntreev's flagship titles, having been serviced in over 40 countries worldwide. Ntreev plans to upgrade the original graphics and offer controls optimized for mobile devices. Users can enjoy fantasy elements with over 200 fields and the newly introduced 'Pangea' skills.

No Woo-young, director of PangyaM, said, "PangyaM will feature renewed characters based on a newly composed story. Each character has specialized skills that highlight their unique charm."

Pro Baseball H3 is the next-generation baseball management game currently under development by Ntreev. Users take on the roles of manager and club owner to operate a baseball team. New features include a 'scouter' and 'call-up' system to discover players with potential, and a 'transfer market' where players' values can be evaluated. By integrating NC's artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the game provides lively match reports, highlights, and news content.

Sim Jae-gu, producer of Pro Baseball H3, said, "Players will experience a more advanced baseball management fun by becoming club owners themselves. Using NC's deep learning technology, we will go beyond simple match simulation replays." He also added, "The existing 'Pro Baseball H2' will continue alongside LineageM and Lineage2M, offering quality content."

Meanwhile, NC plans to release these games sequentially. The producer stated, "We are currently developing with the goal of domestic release this year. One of the three titles is expected to be launched within this year."
