Woochi the Wayfarer is Nexon Games and LoreVault’s latest single-player fantasy action-adventure title, set against the magical backdrop of Korea’s Joseon era. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game immerses players in a richly rendered world inspired by the classic tale of Jeon Woochi.
Korea’s Forgotten Mage Brought to Life
Cultural authenticity is at the heart of the project—experts in Korean literature and music have been consulted, and the team traveled across the country, capturing real landmarks to recreate the era in vivid 3D realism. Expect familiar elements like magical combat, traditional monsters, and immersive folklore woven through the narrative. The game’s tone is deepened by a stirring soundtrack from Jung Jae-il, famed composer for Parasite and Squid Game.
A Teaser That Sets the Stage
The reveal trailer—a moody, two-minute blend of ritual and confrontation—opens with a shaman’s incantation in a dark forest and ends in a tense standoff between Woochi and a mysterious sorcerer. It’s enough to promise high-stakes adventure and dark mythic themes.
A Cross-Platform Adventure Incoming
Woochi the Wayfarer is set to arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam—but the release date remains unannounced. Nexon characterizes it as a global title, designed to resonate with players from all cultures.
