Kim Yong-ha is the head of NEXON Games IO Division and general producer of both Blue Archive and the new title now called Faledoria, shown as a playable build at Tokyo Game Show 2026. He also delivered the opening keynote at BIC2026 in Busan.
Kim Yong-ha runs NEXON Games IO Division and holds the general producer title on Blue Archive. The first public sign of what his studio was building next came on June 16, when Nexon opened an official X account for Project RX. The teaser listed Kim as general producer and YutokaMizu as art director, with the game in development for PC, console, and smartphone.
The project resurfaced in September at Tokyo Game Show 2026 under the name the studio has settled on, Faledoria. It was shown as a playable demo built around what Kim described as an otherworld homestay: players talk with girls at a base called Tasogare-kan, go into battle, and return to daily life. The demo uses voice recognition, letting players call characters by name and choose options aloud. Mitsukiyo, who has written music for Blue Archive since around 2019, handles sound.
In an interview tied to the show, Kim and Mitsukiyo said the concept took shape around 2022, was made concrete in 2023, and entered full development at the beginning of 2024. Faledoria is planned for PC, mobile, and console, and the team chose Unreal Engine 5 rather than Blue Archive's Unity engine because it is a separate title not meant to inherit that game's world. Kim said he found Mitsukiyo on SoundCloud before they met in person.
The earlier BIC2026 keynote in Busan covered different ground. Kim traced subculture games from niche to a market larger than any single major game, described Blue Archive's IP design around lifestyle, repeated actions, symbols, and relationships, and asked what human aesthetic judgment remains in an AI era.
