Netmarble lit up the scene at G-Star 2025, offering fans exciting talk shows and engaging live events at its dedicated booth. On November 15, at 12:50 PM, the company hosted the "PD Level Up!?" stage event, spotlighting the upcoming title "Solo Leveling: Karma." Kwon Do-hyeong, Executive Producer from Netmarble Neo and head of development for the game, presented insights into the depth of the "Solo Leveling" intellectual property and explained the unique appeal of the game’s story-driven roguelite gameplay.

Influencers Jijo Jo-se and Saemwae joined the stage, fielding real-time questions from attendees about "Solo Leveling: Karma." The booth also featured multiple interactive events, allowing visitors to try the game’s demo version and compete in the "Time Attack Ranking Competition" for prizes such as the Lenovo UMPC Legion Go 2, RTX 5060Ti graphics cards, Razer gaming keyboards, and Razer gaming mice. Participants who joined demo sessions and feedback surveys were rewarded with "Lucky Photocard" scratch-off tickets, with two chances per person.

Additionally, for the duration of G-Star 2025, the first 40 daily visitors to the "Solo Leveling: Karma" booth receive a special can badge set. Fans could also take photos with life-size 3D models of Sung Jinwoo, the Dragon Monarch, and Igris at the "Sung Jinwoo and Shadow Legion" photo zone. Visitors uploading their scene snapshots with required hashtags to Instagram entered a draw for a KRW 20,000 Baedal Minjok (food delivery) voucher.

More comprehensive information about "Solo Leveling: Karma" is available on its brand page, Kakao Channel, and official social media channels.

In a separate event, Netmarble spotlighted its anticipated action RPG, "Monster Diner: STAR DIVE," during the "Developer DIVE Talk Show" at G-Star 2025. The event featured Netmarble Monster PD Lee Dong-jo and business division leader Kang Dong-gi, who introduced the game's unique content and development behind-the-scenes stories, with influencer Jijo Jo-se moderating discussions and engaging the audience.

A highlight of the discussion was the new Korean-inspired regions "Sura" and "Naksan Village." Revealed for the first time at G-Star, "Sura" expands the story beyond the journey of the "Nine Knights" including Esde, Flea, and Reina, and features formidable boss monsters inspired by Korean folklore, such as the dokkaebi "Duweokshini." "Naksan Village," in particular, serves as a narrative focal point where the main character Mina’s journey begins, integrating Korean themes deeply into both story and design to embody the game’s identity.

Netmarble also announced enhancements to the game’s "Monstering" content—a core system for capturing, collecting, and fusing monsters. Building on the "Link Chain" system introduced during the last global closed beta test, future updates will include legendary monsters with unique abilities and greater narrative significance.

Throughout G-Star, Netmarble is hosting additional stage events, including a "Voice Actor Talk Show" and the "Top Influencer Boss Raid Battle," with even more on-site activities and prizes for participants. "Monster Diner: STAR DIVE" is open for global pre-registration ahead of its planned global release in the first half of next year. Details are available on the game’s official website.

Netmarble’s presentations at G-Star 2025 continue throughout the event, with upcoming programs including the "Solo Leveling: Arise Odrive" stage at 2:10 PM, a demo session for "Evil Bane" at 3:20 PM, and a "Seven Deadly Sins: Origin" special stage on the final day, November 16, where the expansive game world will be introduced.
