During IGN Live 2025, Netmarble officially revealed Project Evilbane, a fast-paced, cooperative action RPG set in the universe of their award-winning title Raven. Developed by Netmarble Monster using Unreal Engine 5, the game introduces players to a gritty, post-apocalyptic battle for humanity’s survival.

This is not just another action game—it’s the next evolution of Netmarble’s storytelling and combat systems.

Cooperative Gameplay with a World-Altering Twist

Project Evilbane features up to four-player cooperative missions, where teams infiltrate enemy strongholds to fight the twisted demonic forces of the “Evil King.” The missions aren’t isolated; each successful operation impacts the entire game world, fostering a sense of global collaboration among all players.

Roles matter. Each player selects a specialized combat role—attack, defense, or support—and synergy is key to survival. Strategic coordination unlocks stronger missions and deeper character progression.

Combat That’s Built to Engage

From the gameplay trailer shown at IGN Live, Project Evilbane delivers third-person shooter-style combat with a focus on reactive action. Players can dodge, counter, block, and strike in fast, fluid sequences. Expect both ranged and melee combat, with responsive controls and cinematic execution.

Netmarble is dialing in combat depth, rewarding both skill and strategy—perfect for players craving action with substance.

A True Successor to Raven

Project Evilbane builds on the legacy of Raven, Netmarble’s 2015 Korea Game Awards powerhouse that won six awards. The new title expands that universe with new lore, visual storytelling, and evolved gameplay systems. Fans of Raven will find familiar themes but with significantly upgraded mechanics and world-building.
