At this year’s G-STAR, NCSOFT brings hands-on experience for three projects: the shooter ‘LLL,’ the action battel brawler ‘BATTLE CRUSH,’ and the collectible role-playing game ‘Project BSS.’

Seeder Jaehyun Bae, in presenting its new official trailer, underscored the distinctiveness of LLL, stating, “You can immerse yourself in the open world, wielding a wide array of weapons and skill combinations. This is the unique feature of LLL, offering players an unparalleled shooting game experience.”
BATTLE CRUSH, NCSOFT’s first-ever Nintendo Switch title, is an action-packed battle brawler capturing the interest of gamers around the globe. Captain Hyungsuk Kang remarked, “It presents thrilling, dynamic brawl battles, particularly when executing precise attack combos to launch enemies into the air, or even when escaping from the shrinking terrains and safely jumping onto the safe zones.” He further expressed, “I hope our players will enjoy the experience of becoming the ultimate survivor leveraging on strategic team operations and skillful item combinations.”
Project BSS is a new IP offering a reimagined gameplay style, utilizing the rich Blade & Soul universe.
