'Studio HG' of PD Han Dae-hoon, who joined Action Square, has unveiled the dungeon crawler 'Dungeon Stalkers'.

Action Square revealed the trailer for Dungeon Stalkers on the 15th, along with the game's features and story.

The game tells the story of Dungeon Stalkers who challenge dungeons created by the curse of a powerful witch, with their own goals such as wealth, fame, and truth. Hilda and Urd, who were revealed in the video that day, are depicted as a knight performing a secret mission for the royal family and a hunter embarking on an adventure to find her lost daughter. Studio HG has announced the release of six additional Dungeon Stalker characters in the future through silhouettes.

Meanwhile, the game revealed through the video is a 3rd-person action title that depicts the scene of catching other monsters with companions in a narrow dungeon. Action Square also announced that this title will be a PvEvP title and will feature online-based multiplayer.

The extraction rule was also emphasized. Resources acquired in the dungeon can be used in the next game if the player survives and successfully escapes. This makes players work harder to survive through rewards. In addition, the dungeon environment configuration through Unreal Engine 5 and the fun of PvP were emphasized.

To develop Dungeon Stalkers, Action Square recruited Han Dae-hoon, who led Studio HG as a one-person developer before joining Action Square in August, as well as Kim Dong-seok, a technical art director who participated in the development of AAA-class console games at Ubisoft headquarters, and Ahn Hee-cheol, an art director who served as the chief artist of Blade & Soul at NCSoft. Lee Kyu-young, a specialist who worked as a senior artist in the 3D environment sector at Blizzard and Riot Games, also joined.

PD Han Dae-hoon said with the game's release, "Since joining Action Square last year, I have been running forward to challenge a new genre," and "It is true that I feel somewhat burdened by the fact that the game and genre that 'Dungeon Stalkers' aims for are already attracting a lot of attention." He added, "We will present a highly polished game for the successful reference of Action Square and Studio HG. Our goal is to increase the level of completion and the amount of content sufficiently during the remaining period and release it simultaneously on PC and mobile within the year."

Along with the release of this video, a Steam page and a Discord channel have also been opened. The plan is to actively reflect feedback by continuing active communication with users until the official release.
