Kakao Games Corp. is pushing forward with player communication and content expansions to support the long-term service of World of Dokkaebi. Since launch through the 27th, the company has held seven live broadcasts and revealed a three-month update roadmap extending through January 2027.
World of Dokkaebi officially launched on the 8th, and according to Kakao Games, reached No. 1 on the Google Play Store top-grossing game chart on the 13th, just five days after release. The company plans to sustain its early momentum through player-feedback-driven operations and phased updates.
The roadmap unveiled during the live broadcast on the 13th includes combat and progression content alongside cooperative and life skill content. In November, cross-server competitive content such as "Dimensional Conquest" and the "Bulgasari Raid" will be added. The raid system plans to introduce new bosses on a periodic basis. That same month, the "Dokkaebi Assembly" will also be introduced as a platform where players can propose and recommend balance and content improvements, serving as a regular channel for gathering user feedback.
The December update will include PvP content such as 4v4 real-time duels and 1v1 asynchronous ranked matches. Social spaces for players including the "Clan Hideout" and "Tabaro Hot Springs" will also be established, along with a year-end snowball fight event and new episodes for the traditional folktale content.
In January 2027, the company plans to introduce the "First Transcendence" progression system, along with life skill content such as cooking, gathering, and fishing, as well as a marriage system. An event celebrating the 100th day of service will also take place.
The process of gathering player feedback began prior to launch. Kakao Games introduced game details and service plans during an online showcase on September 8, followed by a live demonstration and Q&A session with the development team on September 18. During the demonstration, they outlined a policy of not attaching progression stats to outfits and mounts. Reflecting player requests, they also extended the membership duration from 28 days to 30 days.
The first live broadcast after launch was held on the 9th. The team announced expanded sources for progression currencies and enhanced membership benefits, applying some of these improvements in maintenance the following day. During the broadcast on the 13th, they detailed balance adjustments for "Taoist magic," the refund of enhancement and breakthrough materials, and operating policies for additional equipment stats, while outlining quality-of-life improvements for the exchange and plans to strengthen penalties for abnormal account activity.
Subsequent broadcasts continued to share responses to ongoing issues. On the 14th, follow-up measures regarding additional equipment stats were shared, followed by key improvements and progression support rewards on the 17th. On the 19th, discussions covered main content and actions against abnormal currency transactions, while the broadcast on the 20th introduced key update details. Kakao Games plans to continue using live broadcasts to share the direction of improvements for major issues and update progress on player feedback.
