Webzen announced on Nov. 3 the title and brand identity (BI) for MU Theos, a new MMORPG based on the MU IP targeting a release in the first half of 2027.
The cinematic teaser trailer for MU Theos will be showcased for the first time at the Webzen booth during G-STAR 2026. Webzen plans to begin full-scale service preparations after further polishing the game.
MU Theos inherits the signature strengths of the MU IP, including fast-paced character leveling and rewarding progression. Development is focused on growth content, competitive structures, and fair monetization (BM), with an internal test (IBT) recently conducted.
Meanwhile, hack-and-slash action RPG PROJECT G (working title), which Webzen is also developing, was first revealed via a teaser trailer in 2025. Webzen is making substantial internal investments into the title with the goal of expanding the MU IP into Western markets. Webzen aims to diversify its lineup of new titles based on core IP through MU Theos and PROJECT G.
The company is also pushing to expand its business portfolio using new IP. This includes I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game: LAST STAGE, a command strategy RPG that serves as one of Webzen's key showcases for G-STAR 2026. Webzen is actively engaged in internal development and publishing across various genres, including subculture and defense games, and plans to sequentially announce release details for each new title in accordance with its business schedule.
Webzen is a KOSDAQ-listed gaming company that launched MU Online in 2001. According to company promotional materials, it operates the global gaming portal WEBZEN.com, which boasts 60 million registered users worldwide, directly developing and servicing game IP such as MU and R2 across mobile and PC platforms.
