Netmarble is running or preparing a large Tokyo Game Show 2026 slate built around three Japan-targeted titles: Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Strongest Species, Solo Leveling: KARMA, and Pearl in Blue. Its PC and mobile release calendar now extends into November with the DMM GAMES PLAYER version of Mongil: STAR DIVE.
Netmarble's coverage through 2026 is a story about Japan. The company said its Q2 overseas sales reached roughly 78-79% of revenue while Japan stayed at 7-9%, and it announced three titles built for Japanese players as the first major output of a shift away from a single global version strategy. All three appeared at Tokyo Game Show 2026: Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Strongest Species, Solo Leveling: KARMA, and Pearl in Blue. The Shangri-La Frontier stage presentation introduced the game's four stated pillars and an original PV by C2C, while Solo Leveling: KARMA ran a playable demo and confirmed a launch for PC and mobile this year. Pearl in Blue, a Netmarble N2 title for iOS and Android, showed its 3D models for the first time in an August teaser PV.
The same push runs through Netmarble's MMORPG business. VAMPIR launched in Japan on July 22 for iOS, Android, and PC, and a Japan-only server opened on July 24 after five of six existing servers restricted new character creation. The game's developer, Netmarble Neo, is the team behind Lineage 2 Revolution and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. That studio is also handling Bloomwalker, announced at the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast as a craft adventure for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. A later trailer confirmed the game is part of the Ni no Kuni universe, set in the fallen world of Luminoa.
Elsewhere, the live-service titles keep moving. Mongil: STAR DIVE detailed its 1.2 update for July 8 and then opened pre-registration on October 14 for a DMM GAMES PLAYER version scheduled within November, with data linking to the iOS and Android version. Seven Deadly Sins: Origin added Ban as an SSR character in its next major update, completing the Seven Deadly Sins lineup after its half-anniversary broadcast.
