Krafton Unveils New Title 'Moonbreaker' for the First Time at Gamescom

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Krafton unveiled its new title 'Moonbreaker' on the eve of Gamescom 2022, one of the world's top three game shows, held in Cologne, Germany, on the 23rd (local time).

Moonbreaker is a turn-based strategy tabletop simulation game formerly known as 'Project M,' developed by Unknown Worlds, an independent studio within Krafton. Players form squads by combining over 50 different units and powerful battleship support skills, and engage in strategic battles against opponents each turn to achieve victory.

The game fully digitizes the physical miniature game experience, capturing the feel of analog board games. Its turn-based combat system allows not only board game enthusiasts but also those unfamiliar with board games to play easily.

In particular, players can paint miniatures using various painting tools including brushes and sprays to create their own unique units. They can decorate miniatures by collecting various ornaments and add effects to units. Additionally, limited edition ornaments provided as rewards each season will enable even more diverse customization options in the future.

Moonbreaker is scheduled for a simultaneous global release on the game distribution platform Steam as an early access title on the 30th of next month. Prior to release, an open beta service accessible to everyone will be conducted through 'Steam Playtest.' To commemorate the first reveal of Moonbreaker, registering a Krafton ID by September will grant players a dark-themed paint preset for the game unit 'Crankbait' upon early access launch.

Im Woo-yeol, head of Krafton Publishing Group, stated, "We will spare no effort to provide a highly polished game starting with early access."
