As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for Norse mythology and a soft spot for Kakao Games, the news of their upcoming AAA cross-platform MMORPG, Project Q, has me brimming with anticipation. Having spent countless hours immersed in the captivating worlds of Guardian Tales and Eversoul, I can’t help but feel a sense of familiarity tinged with excitement at the prospect of another masterpiece from this talented studio.

Enthusiasts of Kakao Games, who have enjoyed titles like Guardian Tales and Eversoul, are bound to feel thrilled as the developer is cooking up something substantial. According to recent announcements on LinkedIn, the studio is developing a new cross-platform MMORPG for mobile and PC platforms. This upcoming project will be published by Lionheart Studio and its first unveiling is scheduled at the G-Star event in Korea later this month.

It appears that there’s some intrigue surrounding this upcoming project, referred to as “Project Q”. Here’s what we currently know: First off, it will be playable on both mobile devices and computers. Moreover, it’s designed to support cross-platform gameplay right from the start. Interestingly, its narrative seems to draw heavily from the Norse mythological cycle, the Edda, which serves as an unconventional source of inspiration for a game.

Currently, I won’t delve into the specific historical aspects of the Edda, since it falls outside our scope. However, you can likely infer that it is a compilation of renowned Norse and Viking poems and tales, which significantly contribute to our understanding of contemporary Viking mythology.


Vikings ahoy(?)

It seems this game isn’t going to be a full-blown Nordic epic, given that it’s only “inspired” by the Edda, a term often used loosely in gaming, much like Dante’s Inferno. Yet, despite doubts about its authenticity due to its inspiration, the promised AAA quality and the skilled team behind it make this upcoming release an intriguing prospect.

If you take a look, you might come across a specific game titled Eversoul. Whether or not you do, reading further will reveal its presence. But don’t forget to explore Kakao Games’ other popular title and delve into our discussion on the game’s distinctive pixel art and design!
