🗞 April 20 INVEN News Briefing - Urban Open - World RPG 'Project Mugen'
Monday, April 20, 2026
📺 'Project Mugen', the Subculture GTA
'Project Mugen', developed by Perfect World's Hotta Studio, held a preview broadcast on the 18th, announcing a 'guaranteed pull system without pity-breaking,' 'enhanced dating mechanics,' and collaborations with 'Porsche' and 'Persona.' The absence of 'pity-breaking' (off-banner pulls) in a subculture game has been met with a particularly positive response. Expectations are high for whether the game can build a new fan base through its high degree of freedom, featuring city exploration, vehicle theft, and prison visits—elements rarely seen in existing subculture titles.

❝ We project revenue of ₩494.4 billion (+37.2% YoY, +22.3% QoQ), operating profit of ₩87.6 billion (+1,578.1% YoY, +2,597.9% QoQ), and net income attributable to controlling interests of ₩81.9 billion (+116.8% YoY, turning to profit QoQ), with operating profit expected to meet consensus. While revenue from legacy titles is expected to decline quarter-over-quarter, total revenue will grow due to the performance of 'Aion 2' and 'Lineage Classic' on PC, and the consolidated results of recently acquired casual gaming companies, Lihuhu and Springcomes, on mobile. However, operating expenses are expected to remain at similar levels to the previous quarter due to the reflection of incentives and increased UA marketing costs for mobile casual titles. ❞
