Korean holding company KRAFTON announced today that active development has started on an “unnamed game project” that will be based on the popular Korean fantasy novel series The Bird That Drinks Tears. It is unknown what shape or form this game project will take at this exact moment, but there’s plenty of promises of a “whole new experience.”
For those maybe unaware of the subject of this adaptation, it’s certainly a massive deal in terms of Korean literature.
If you’ve got a taste for high-fantasy, a game being made from this IP should certainly entice you.
KRAFTON is the holding company of big developers such as PUBG Studios, Unknown Worlds Entertainment (Subnautica), and Striking Distance Studios (The Callisto Protocol).
Some of the best video game series are based on book series, just look at the Witcher and Metro games.
We will be sure to keep you updated when we know more about this project.
