Project ZETA is a multi-team tactical arena game from NIRVANANA Studio, published under KRAFTON. Four teams of three compete simultaneously on the same map to capture an object called the Prism. The format departs from the traditional two-team hero PvP structure.
In June, KRAFTON opened the first global community test for the game, running June 25-28 on Steam and open to players in Asia, North America, and Europe. It was the first public test outside Korea and China. The developer planned an early access release in the second half of 2026 after incorporating player feedback.
At gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live, which began August 26 in Cologne, KRAFTON presented a new trailer for Project ZETA as one of five upcoming titles. The full lineup spanned shooters, RPGs, cooperative adventures, and competitive multiplayer, with KRAFTON positioning the slate as the foundation for long-term global IP franchises.

KRAFTON and NIRVANANA Studio opened the second global community test for Project ZETA on September 4, 2026 at 20:00 Japan time, running until September 6 at 23:59. The game is a multi-team tactical arena in which four teams of three, 12 players total, battle on the same battlefield. Teams fight over the Prism, carry it to the stabilizer at the center of the map, and the first to earn 5 points wins. The test adds two heroes: Nova Crash, a fighter who uses fist-based close combat and whose ultimate Justice Impact slams down from the air to break enemy formations, and Azrakel, an assassin who teleports and whose ultimate Final Judgment: Erasure deals heavy damage and finishes off enemies below a health threshold. The roster now spans four classes and 16 heroes. Changes from the first test include a rating system for matchmaking, stronger growth mechanics to allow comebacks, and a higher weight on the hard-to-obtain S-Prism. The test is free on Steam with no pre-registration. A giveaway on the Japanese X account offers official merchandise to three winners.
