Publisher WEMADE MAX Co. Ltd. and developer MADNGINE have officially announced their upcoming AAA open-world action RPG, Project TAL, set to release globally on PC and consoles in 2027. This highly anticipated title promises to deliver a rich, story-driven single-player experience inspired by Korea’s traditional Tal masks and the mythology and folklore that surround them.
The reveal came with an official announcement trailer, giving fans a first look at the game’s stunning visuals, cinematic combat, and emotionally charged atmosphere — all set within a vast, fantastical world shaped by ancient legends.
A Deeply Immersive Journey Through Korean Mythology
Project TAL reimagines Korea’s rich cultural heritage through breathtaking landscapes, mythical creatures, and intricate character designs rooted in traditional folklore. Players will embark on a journey of restoration and discovery, exploring a world torn between divine forces and human emotion.
The trailer showcases intense action sequences, allowing players to leap onto massive beasts, exploit enemy weak points, and execute tactical counterattacks in exhilarating battles. The combat system emphasizes precision, agility, and creativity — rewarding players who adapt to each encounter.
Intelligent Companions and Dynamic Combat
One of Project TAL’s standout features is its companion system, which introduces intelligent NPC allies that react fluidly to the player’s combat style and environment. Each companion offers distinct abilities, personalities, and tactical roles — from defensive guardians to agile melee fighters and powerful spellcasters.
These companions don’t just fight alongside players; they respond in real-time to the flow of battle. The trailer teases moments of breathtaking synergy, like catching a falling ally mid-fight or watching a support character conjure a barrier to deflect enemy attacks.
A World of Emotion and Power
According to Sohn Myun-seok, CEO of WEMADE MAX, “Project TAL combines an emotionally resonant story about healing a wounded world with the exhilarating combat of a classic action RPG. With MADNGINE’s technical expertise and artistic vision, we’re creating a AAA open-world title built to compete on a global stage.”
