Webzen unveils MU Theos BI, targets H1 2027 launch
Key takeaways
- MU Theos BI revealed; targeted launch in H1 2027
- MU Theos cinematic teaser scheduled for G-STAR 2026
- Project G first teased in 2025; being developed for Western market with large internal investment
Webzen has revealed the brand identity for MU Theos, a new MMORPG using the MU IP, and says the game is targeted for release in the first half of 2027. The studio will show a cinematic teaser for MU Theos at G-STAR 2026, marking the first public reveal of the game's trailer content.
MU Theos is described as carrying forward MU’s quick-character progression and growth loop while adding what Webzen calls evolved growth content, competitive structures, and a “reasonable” business model. The company reports recent internal tests as part of development work and says it will focus on raising the game’s completeness before moving into full service preparations. The announcement presented the BI and those development milestones; Webzen did not publish specific platform or monetization mechanics in this release.
Alongside MU Theos, Webzen confirmed ongoing development of the hack-and-slash action RPG Project G (working title), a title first teased in 2025. Project G is being developed with significant internal investment and is intended to support MU IP expansion into Western markets. Webzen also named a new strategy/defense RPG, Defense Game's Tyrant: Last Stage, which will be one of its major exhibits at G-STAR 2026. The company says it is diversifying its portfolio across subculture, defense, and MMORPG genres through in-house development and publishing.
Why it matters
Takeaway: if you want the earliest look at Webzen’s next MU entry and a new defense-RPG exhibit, G-STAR 2026 is when and where the MU Theos cinematic teaser and Defense Game's Tyrant: Last Stage will appear; Project G remains a separately funded effort aimed at Western rollouts and was first shown as a teaser in 2025.
