Global webtoon phenomenon “The Player Who Can’t Level Up” is set to become a full‑scale action game for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. Tripearl Games, working hand‑in‑hand with the original web novel and webtoon creators, has crafted a roguelite experience that pairs high‑octane combat with striking Unreal Engine 5 visuals and a brand‑new storyline.
A newly released announcement trailer offers a first look at the game’s engine‑driven action, from fluid swordplay and intense boss encounters to sweeping camera pans and cinematic animations. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the title promises seamless exploration with no loading screens and full freedom of camera movement, all rendered in vivid 3D environments.
Players assume the role of Kim Kigyu, a warrior trapped by a curse that prevents him from earning experience points. Rather than traditional leveling, progression hinges on “Ego Shards,” which grant perk‑style abilities, and “Blessings,” randomized enhancements that encourage strategic experimentation. Each run presents fresh opportunities to discover powerful synergies and adapt one’s playstyle on the fly.

Since its debut online, “The Player Who Can’t Level Up” has amassed over 210 million views and dominated charts on Kakao Page, Piccoma and Tapas, cultivating a devoted international fanbase. The upcoming game expands this universe with a side narrative that reunites players with beloved characters Lu and El while inviting them to explore untold secrets lurking beyond the mysterious gate.
Tripearl Games CEO Manson Jeong explained that the development team aimed to redefine character growth by rewarding adaptability and tactical decision‑making rather than grinding for stats. He emphasized that mastering combat mechanics and adjusting to evolving challenges would form the core of player advancement.

“The Player Who Can’t Level Up” is now available for wishlist on Steam, and interested media can access a press kit via the developer’s official website. The title is scheduled to launch across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.
