Yoo Hae-jin and director Jang Hang-jun front MMORPG 'Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next' ahead of second-half launch

Yoo Hae-jin and film director Jang Hang-jun are the new faces of Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next, the upcoming mobile-and-PC MMORPG from developer Kingnet. They reunited on-screen for the first time since Wang-gwa Saneun Namja (The Man Living with the King).

Kingnet released a cinematic teaser on July 9 via the game's official YouTube channel and Naver Game Lounge. The video carries the slogan "To a new world of Gangho, a new evolution of K-martial arts." The game's first official title OST, RISE AGAIN, went live on major digital music streaming platforms the same day.

The game draws from a webtoon of the same name. Kingnet describes the source material as having proven global cumulative sales and IP value. In-game features include cartoon rendering-based graphics, martial arts effects, and a strategic battle system. Pre-registration is open now through the official website.

A Kingnet spokesperson said the campaign was "planned to convey the direction of new K-martial arts that Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next aims for and the core appeal of the game in a more familiar way." More content drops are coming before the official second-half launch.
