Kingnet just dropped a new promotional video for the MMORPG 'Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next,' and it’s already turning heads among gamers. The clip spotlights actor Yoo Hae-jin and filmmaker Jang Hang-jun, teasing the title’s unique appeal.

On the 9th, Kingnet announced a fresh promo starring Yoo Hae-jin and director Jang Hang-jun for 'Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next.'

Under the slogan 'Into a New Jianghu, the Next Evolution of K-Wuxia,' the video honors the classic wuxia vibe of the original 'Yeolhyeol Gangho' while highlighting modern gameplay upgrades. Opening with a mock press-conference concept, it naturally weaves in scenes of Yoo Hae-jin and Jang Hang-jun introducing the new title.

In a late twist, the true star is revealed to be 'Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next' itself. Gameplay footage showcases cel-shaded graphics, flashy martial arts skills, and a strategic combat system—key features designed to leave a strong impression on players.

The pair previously teamed up in the film The King’s Warden, and their playful chemistry shines again here. That movie drew a scorching response, with a cumulative audience of 16.9 million.

'Yeolhyeol Gangho: Next' reimagines the 32-year-old K-wuxia manhwa 'Yeolhyeol Gangho' as a modern MMORPG. Pre-registration is now open on the official website, and more details are available on the official Naver community.
