Netmarble hosted the first playable demo for upcoming console and PC third-person co-op action game EVILBANE at G-STAR 2025 and confirmed that the developers are preparing for the next global test after the event. At G-STAR 2025, attendees visited the Netmarble booth to experience the EVILBANE special demo mission, which was exclusively designed for the event. Attendees were impressed by the fun solo and co-op four team play modes and combat.
“EVILBANE’s first hands-on showcase at G-STAR 2025 marks an important milestone for us,” said Jung Ho Lee, Game Publishing Director at Netmarble. “We’re using this opportunity to engage directly with players on-site, gather their real-time feedback, and reflect those insights into development as we move toward the next testing phase.”
EVILBANE launches in the second half of 2026 for PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, followed by Xbox Series X|S in 2027.
Netmarble describes 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.
