Could the game eventually expand beyond Seoul? (Once players reach a certain level and progress far enough through the main story, it would be great if they could continue their journey by traveling to other regions such as Busan or Jeju Island through airports or train stations)A. We'd love to expand the game in that direction as well. However, there is still a lot of content we haven't yet been able to create even within Seoul, so it will take some more time before we can seriously consider…
- Dev Talk: Latest Improvements for August - 20 August 2026
Hello, Survivors. Welcome to our August Dev Talk.We've spent a lot of time discussing what we should reveal this month. The more we share, the more we risk taking away the sense of discovery that awaits players after launch.That said, the previous Dev Talk only covered a few smaller improvements, so this time we'd like to go a bit further and talk about some of the larger changes currently in development.Today's update can be divided into two categories:Features from the Closed Alpha Test (CAT) that are being reworkedNew features that are being added after CAT Features Being ReworkedThere are far too many changes to cover in a single post, but I'd like to highlight a few examples that have either been frequently discussed by players or that I personally consider particularly important.Please note that these are only a small portion of the improvements we've been working on since the CAT…

- NAKWON Note #2: Sneak Peak New Weapons - 9 July 2026
※Weapon names & images shown in this article are a work-in-progress and may be subject to change"Every weapon bears a survivor's story."Hello, Survivors.This month's NAKWON Note will introduce a few melee weapons and the concept behind their design.Rather than simply creating tools for combat, we took great care to make sure that each weapon can tell a story of how it came to exist in the game. This article explores the visual presentation and design story behind each weapon.1. Modified Pickaxe A Visual PresentationNAKWON's melee weapons are designed not just to look powerful, but to make you wonder who crafted them—and why.Built around a simple wooden club, this weapon combined mismatching objects—a button doll, animal bones, and even a carrot. At first glance, it almost looks like a toy. A closer look, however, reveals button eyes, clumsy stitching, and bone ornaments that create an u…

Hello Survivors, checking in with our June Dev Talk.This month, I'd like to share a community announcement along with a few small development updates.First, starting this month, we're changing the way we respond to Q&As and suggestions on Discord.Before: Answering individually whenever time allowed. Now: Gathering and curating questions on a twice-a-month cadence, then answering them all at once.Since some questions overlap and occasionally slip through the cracks, we've decided to switch to a format where we collect everything first, then curate and respond.For this month's Dev Talk, We'd like to briefly share some of the smaller things we've been working on lately. What follows is only a portion of the many items in development. (We'll save the bigger features for a more fitting moment to introduce them.) And since these are still in development, please understand that they may change…
- NAKWON Note #1: Shopping Mall Map Preview - 11 June 2026
"Once a stronghold for a group of survivors, now an expedition zone for those who reside in NAKWON."Hello Survivors, We’re excited to introduce the very first edition of 'NAKWON Note' where we’ll be sharing development updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and stories from the team.In this first entry, we’re giving you a sneak peek of our new map, “Shopping Mall.”Concept of the MapThis large scale shopping complex features a casino, luxury boutiques, and a megamart. It was once home to a thriving community of survivors. In the early days of the outbreak, survivors relied on supplies from the mart. Over time, they moved into the luxury wing, bringing in mattresses and daily essentials to create a shelter where they could eat, sleep, and survive. Casino chips were adopted as a new form of currency, and parts of the mall were turned into playgrounds and makeshift farms.To protect themselves…

Will Safe Pockets be introduced to the game?At this time, we don't have any plans to introduce any sort of safe pocket system.Safe pockets can reduce early frustration by allowing players to retain items after failed extractions, but over time, they may weaken both the tension and the sense of achievement that come from extracting successfully.Rather than layering safety nets, we believe that maintaining a constant sense of losing out can lead to a…
