Mgame (CEO Kwon Yi-hyeong) announced on August 26 that it has released the story video for its self-developed martial arts idle RPG 'Ghost Online Idle' via its official YouTube channel.

The revealed video is a cinematic animation created using generative AI technology, capturing the core world and narrative of the original 'Ghost Online' with compressed direction and fast-paced action. It is based on the game's main story, which follows the legendary martial artist 'Taehwa-nogun,' who lost everything to the betrayal of his trusted disciple 'Yang Ak-pyeong,' as he works to reclaim his memories and martial arts.

The video opens on a flame-engulfed battlefield where 'Taehwa-nogun' stands against a horde of Zodiac monsters. While fighting side-by-side with his disciple 'Yang Ak-pyeong' to defeat the monsters, the scene transitions to 'Yang Ak-pyeong' slashing his master in the back and corrupting into a white-haired demon god with red eyes.

Fallen due to his disciple's betrayal, 'Taehwa-nogun' plunges into an alternate world and loses consciousness, at which point the screen shifts to retro pixel graphics. Accompanied by a system message stating that a new destiny begins having lost his memories and martial arts, 'Taehwa-nogun' appears reborn as a pixel character, concluding with anticipation for the adventure to come.

The protagonist's journey to restore his lost power is organically combined with character progression elements, maintaining the unique sentiment of the original game while allowing players to easily immerse themselves through the accessible gameplay of an idle RPG.

'Ghost Online Idle' is a new mobile title developed based on the intellectual property (IP) of Mgame's flagship online game 'Ghost Online'. While inheriting key elements from the original title such as classes, martial arts, regions, and monsters, it restructures the previous field-exploration-focused gameplay into a stage-based idle system.

Pre-registration began on August 11 and will continue until the official launch. Players can participate by choosing their preferred store among Google Play, App Store, and ONE Store, and participants will receive items for early progression, including Red Crystals, gold, and companion summon tickets.

Lee Jae-chang, Executive Director of Ghost Online Idle at Mgame, stated, "'Ghost Online Idle' is a new title designed specifically for an idle RPG while inheriting the world, classes, and martial arts system of the original 'Ghost Online'." He added, "As we are presenting the core story of the game ahead of launch through this video, we ask for your interest and pre-registration participation until the official release."

Meanwhile, the story video for 'Ghost Online Idle' can be viewed on the official Ghost Online Idle YouTube channel.
