Today, publisher Nexon Games and developer LoreVault released a seven-minute interview video. Director of "Traveler Yuzhi" Kang Dong-yeon and artistic director Mu Ying-mei discussed the game's features in this latest Korean-era fantasy action adventure game interview.

Interview video:

The development team of "Traveler Yuji" shared the core concept of this North Korean fantasy action adventure game in the latest interview.The game features the Korean legend "Dao Master" Tian Yuzhi as the protagonist, telling his adventure story of his practice. Based on historical research, mythological elements such as monsters and nine-tailed foxes are incorporated to create a unique "North Korean fantasy" style.Art Director Mu Yingmei particularly emphasized that although the content has been disclosed is a bit heavy, the game actually uses bright and bright warm tones, which is different from the dark tone of traditional East Asian fantasy.

The production team uses 3D scanning and MetaHuman technology to create realistic characters, and can now present iconic elements such as magpies wearing hats and witches.Director Jiang Dongyan said that the game combines cinematic narrative with diversified combat systems, striving to balance the depth of the plot and gameplay.The biggest challenge in the development process is to reconcile historical reality with artistic imagination, especially to design original designs of legendary creatures that lack reference materials.

This work, released by Nexon Games, will be available on PS5, Xbox Series and PC platforms, and the specific release date has not been announced yet.The team said it is actively recruiting developers who are interested in stand-alone game development and North Korean culture. Interested people can search for "LoreVault" or "Woochi" on the official website to obtain recruitment information.

The following is the complete interview record:

Opening remarks

Jiang Dongyan Director: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Dongyan, director of "Traveler Yuzhi".

Mu Yingmei Art Director: "I am Mu Yingmei Art Director of this work."

What kind of project is this?

Kang Dong-yeon: "Our LoreVault means 'treasure of stories'. This game is an action-adventure game we created, combining touching stories and carefully constructed worldview of the Joseon Dynasty era with the gorgeous fighting movements of the 'Daoshi'."

What are the characteristics of the game world view?

Mu Yingmei: "We call it 'North Korean Fantasy' internally. Incorporating fantasy elements on the basis of history research, players will encounter characters such as Taoist masters, monsters, and nine-tailed foxes in Korean mythology on this stage that integrates the characteristics of the era drama."

What is the meaning of the title?

Jiang Dongyan: "As shown in the title, the protagonist is the legendary Taoist master Tian Yuzhi, a well-known legend by Korean players. The story focuses on his journey of practicing and becoming a Taoist master, and the game content is this adventure journey. The title needs to symbolically reflect the protagonist's identity, story and goal. After multiple considerations, the English name "Traveler Yuzhi" is a more understandable English name that global players are selected."

How is it different from the classic Tian Yuzhi's image?

Mu Yingmei: "Tian Yuji has many versions of the story. While retaining the original charm, we have created a unique image different from film and television works by integrating traditional Korean hats, Korean clothes, Taoist robe and fantasy elements."

What kind of game is it?

Jiang Dongyan: "This is a single-player action game that focuses on plot narratives. We convey heart-stunning stories through cinematic narrative techniques, while designing diverse combat scenes to ensure gameplay."

Is the tone of the game darker?

Mu Yingmei: "Although the content that has been published may give people a heavy impression, the core atmosphere is actually bright and bright warm tones. This vivid color will clearly distinguish us from other East Asian fantasy works. (Showing unfinished game clips)"

Will the magpies wearing hats really appear in the game?

Jiang Dongyan: "Of course. Although "K-POP: The Witch Hunter" surprised us with the other party's textual research, our magpies will be more realistic and cute, and the tiger will be more majestic. To avoid spoilers, the witch "Miao'an" in the trailer will indeed appear."

What does the trailer want to deliver?

Mu Yingmei: "All pictures are made using actual game materials, striving to truly demonstrate the quality of the game. We use 3D scanning and MetaHuman facial technology to create realistic characters, highlighting the game's characteristics through distinct Korean elements such as magpies, witches, and Taoists."

What is the allusion of the setting of a magpies wearing a hat?

Mu Yingmei: "In the video, the magpies use branches to imitate the hat and imitate the scholar's style, which I personally think is very cute."

When will it be released?

Jiang Dongyan: "This video is a project preview, aiming to show the project to players and the industry. The release date is not yet determined, and we will continue to update the development progress."

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Joseon era?

Mu Yingmei: "The advantage lies in the rich reference materials of life, architecture, clothing, and diet. On-site inspections of Korean landscapes also bring a lot of inspiration. The challenge lies in the balance between historical reality and fantasy - you need to be rigorous about historical facts, and you need to be creative about legendary creatures (such as monster designs that lack reference images)."

What are your messages to developers who are interested in joining?

Kang Dongyan: "It takes courage to challenge this type in Korea, and we look forward to adventurous peers joining. Stand-alone packaged games are the dream of many developers, and like-minded people are welcome."

Mu Yingmei: "Showing the beauty of South Korea in the game is a unique advantage, and colleagues who are interested in or have some research on the North Korean era will definitely enjoy it."
