Netmarble announced four-player co-op action RPG Project EVILBANE launches in the second half of 2026 for PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. Project EVILBANE will come to Xbox Series X|S in 2027, and users can join the pre-alpha test now through the Xbox Insider Program in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, U.K., Germany, and France.
Netmarble describes Project EVILBANE as follows:
In this new adventure, players will face a vast and brutal conflict where demonic forces, warlords, and opportunistic factions clash for control. Players will form squads of up to four, teaming up to take on dangerous missions behind enemy lines and influence the outcome of a sprawling, interconnected war.
The game’s core combat emphasizes fluid transitions between melee and ranged combat, encouraging players to adapt their tactics on the fly. Players can expect a mix of high-intensity skirmishes and tactical encounters, where mastering timing, positioning, and coordination will be essential…
…Missions are structured around a central objective, supported by optional tasks that provide bonus rewards and tactical advantages. Players will have the freedom to choose how they approach each operation—whether by taking direct action, exploring alternate routes, or supporting their team with specialized roles. The game’s flexible mission design supports a variety of playstyles and promotes replayability. Multiplayer is a core pillar of Project EVILBANE, with the game featuring a persistent, global campaign where individual and team actions contribute to a larger, evolving conflict.
