Subscribe to our newsletter Nexon, the South Korean-Japanese video game developer and publishing studio behind titles like The First Descendant, has reportedly halted its work on a GTA-style open-world fantasy game codenamed Project EL.The news (as machine-translated via DeepL and Google) comes from the Korean media outlet MTN, emerging mere months after Patrick Söderlund, CEO of Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios, was appointed as Nexon's executive chairman.
According to the report, Nexon has decided to stop development of its mysterious Project EL – a game described as a "fantasy-style GTA" of sorts, though little else is known about it.Supposedly, Project EL was meant to stand as an open-world adventure game, with director Shim Ki-hoon – mastermind behind mobile MMORPGs like Alliance X Empire – at the helm of production.
It kind of strikes me as, perhaps, a GTA 6 meets Crimson Desert-esque experience or something, but I suppose we'll never truly know, seeing as Nexon has axed its development
