Kingnet announced the official domestic launch of its new 3D MMORPG, 'Yulgang: Next,' on the 29th.

'Yulgang: Next' is a MMORPG based on the popular 'Yulgang' comic IP. It recreates the original work's unique youthful martial arts sentiment and the world of Kangho using modern game systems, while its cartoon-rendered graphics preserve the original's personality with a more refined visual style. The game also supports cross-play between mobile and PC, allowing users to enjoy the game with the same character across different environments.

The combat system is centered around various combinations of martial arts. Users can freely combine main skills, ultimate skills, and secondary skills to create their own combat style, and further develop their characters using the Qigong training and artifact systems. Additionally, five classes—Blade, Sword, Spear, Bow, and Healer—each offer distinct roles and combat styles to support strategic gameplay.

The game also features a free trading system that provides the fun of item farming, trading, and progression. It includes faction wars between the Order and Chaos factions, various PVP content, and cooperative and community features such as guilds, parties, and marriage systems. Players can also enjoy diverse growth systems, including enhancement, evolution, equipment growth, mounts, and pets.

To celebrate the official launch, the second OST for 'Yulgang: Next,' titled 'Accompany (同行),' featuring singer Song Ga-in, will be released on various music streaming sites at 6:00 PM today. 'Accompany' is a ballad that captures the sentiment of the original work and the world of Kangho, with Song Ga-in's soulful vocals further enhancing the game's immersion.

In-game events for users have also been prepared. A 7-day attendance event commemorating the new server opening will provide growth support items and a Rare grade pet, while users who complete missions within the first 7 days of launch will receive a limited SR mount. Furthermore, the game will offer abundant rewards through unique item acquisitions and special prize draws.

The official community is hosting various user participation programs, including pre-download and PC play verification events. Participants can win in-game rewards as well as various prizes such as an iPhone 17, Nintendo Switch 2, gaming laptops, and graphics cards. Top-ranked users will also receive limited titles through ranking events.

Kingnet plans to continue content updates following the official launch. Starting with the addition of a new class at the end of August, the company intends to expand its service by introducing a variety of new content.
