Action RPG Project Tal Showcases Korean Mythology-Inspired World In Gorgeous New Trailer
Publisher Wemade Max Co. and developer Madngine have released the first official trailer for Project Tal, a single-player, open-world action RPG inspired by Korean mythology. Though this trailer looks great, don’t get too excited yet because the game is targeting a console and PC release sometime in 2027.
Madngine says Project Tal “reimagined Korea’s traditional Tal masks,” as well as the mythology and Korean folklore that surrounds these special masks. It infuses this mythology into a fantasy open world for players to explore, and today’s trailer showcases some of that world alongside the fast-paced action combat against huge monsters and more.

As you can see in the trailer, Project Tal features a companion system that ensures players aren’t fighting alone in this dangerous world. Madngine says the companion system “dynamically responds to the player’s combat style and environment” in a press release. Each NPC companion has unique abilities, combat roles, including up-close and ranged magic and melee prowess, and distinctive personalities.
“Project Tal combines an emotionally resonant story about healing a wounded world with the exhilarating combat of a classic action RPG,” Wemade Max Co. CEO Sohn Myun-seok writes in a press release. “With Madngine’s technical expertise and artistic vision, we’re creating a AAA open-world title built to compete on a global stage.”
We’ll have to wait until 2027 when Project Tal hits unspecified consoles and PC to see if that’s the case.
