Netmarble Shows Pearl In Blue PV Featuring Swords Drawn From Soles
The PV confirms Netmarble is leaning hard into a specific absurdity, swords emerging from the soles of female characters' feet, as the hook for a desire-driven harem rom-com RPG, which tells you how the game is being positioned rather than what it actually plays like.

Netmarble released a new PV for Pearl in Blue on Thursday, September 10, 2026. The smartphone RPG is set on Ken'anto, a fictional island resembling modern Japan, where knights fight using Pearl Light drawn from pearls every person is born with. Players act as a manager guiding knights, whose power comes from desire, expressed through Desire Blooming.
The latest PV, released Thursday, September 10, 2026, spends its time on the world rather than the game systems. Ken'anto is an island that looks and runs like contemporary Japan: city crowds, trains, smartphones, shop signs reading donburi and medicine. Knights protect people using Pearl Light, and a pearl is what everyone in that world is born with. It grows through a person's pain and adversity.
The title carries a subtitle, Monthly Rom-Com, and the article's own writer spends a paragraph failing to make sense of the foot-sword. That confusion is the point of the reveal.
