Recently, rumors have been circulating in gaming communities that Krafton is developing a new game called 'Project Winter.' However, the accurate information is that 'Project Winter' is a popular social deduction survival game developed by Other Ocean Interactive. It was first released in May 2019 and has received much love. In September 2025, it is scheduled to provide a new experience through the 'Project Winter 2.0: Cabin Fever' update. This article will examine the actual game features of 'Project Winter' and further explore Krafton's real anticipated games to be unveiled in 2025.
Other Ocean Interactive's 'Project Winter' is a multiplayer game where eight players aim to survive and escape in a snowy, harsh environment. The core of the game lies in the 'Social Deduction' element. Some of the eight survivors are disguised as 'traitors,' and their goal is to hinder the escape of the survivors and create chaos. Survivors must gather resources, repair buildings, and overcome the harsh wilderness. At the same time, they have to figure out who the traitors are. Traitors spread lies and cause discord, sowing distrust among the survivors. Various communication methods, such as proximity voice chat, radio channels, and text chat, exist to add to the game's tension. The unique gameplay, where survival and betrayal are intertwined, provides players with constant suspicion and thrills.
Krafton has been consistently working on developing new games of various genres even after the success of 'Battlegrounds.' As of 2025, Krafton is showcasing several anticipated titles and is accelerating its global game market strategy. In particular, it is attracting considerable attention by premiering 'Palworld Mobile' at G-STAR 2025, which will be held in BEXCO, Busan, from November 13th to 16th. In addition, they are preparing a diverse lineup, including the simulation game 'inZOI,' the extraction shooter genre 'Project Black Budget,' and the emotional adventure game 'My Little Puppy.'
'Palworld Mobile,' developed by Krafton's PUBG Studio, is a mobile game based on the IP of Pocketpair's global hit, 'Palworld.' It features the core fun of the original, such as monster capture, survival, and building elements, while adding optimized operability for mobile environments and a skill-based strategic combat system. At the G-STAR 2025 venue, various programs are prepared to allow visitors to experience game content in reality, such as 'Pal Hunting Zone' and 'Pal Capture Zone,' which are garnering expectations from visitors. 'Palworld Mobile' aims to be released next year and will verify its game quality and popularity through this G-STAR demonstration.
Another anticipated title from Krafton, 'inZOI,' is a hyper-realism simulation game that offers the fun of becoming a god in the game world and controlling everything. It is characterized by realistic graphics and high freedom of interaction, and it is expected to open a new horizon for the life simulation genre like 'The Sims.' Meanwhile, 'Project Black Budget' is a game in the 'extraction shooter' genre, being developed with the participation of core developers from 'Battlegrounds.' This genre aims to acquire loot through combat and farming and escape safely, targeting the mass market, which will be of great interest to shooter game fans.
Krafton is striving to provide innovative game experiences across various genres and platforms, based on the know-how built up with 'Battlegrounds.' From emotional adventure games like 'My Little Puppy' to simulations like 'inZOI' and external IP utilization works like 'Palworld Mobile,' they plan to deliver new enjoyment to players around the world through a wide spectrum of games. Krafton's diverse attempts will lead the trends in the game industry and will be a driving force to enable continuous growth in the future.
