What is ‘GRAND CROSS’?


As mentioned earlier, 'GRAND CROSS' is being developed as a webtoon and web novel. Netmarble F&C is showcasing ‘GRAND CROSS’ webtoons and web novels through its subsidiary, Studio Grigo.

The web novel and webtoon based on 'GRAND CROSS' can be found on KakaoPage. The game is currently scheduled to be released in three titles, and upcoming works have been revealed.

That is, COLLECTIBLE RPG ‘Demis Re:born’, Based on Unreal Engine 5 Metaverse platform ‘GRAND CROSS: Metaworld’,
And the one introduced this time, ‘GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS’.

Rather than everything being tightly bound together as a single IP, ‘GRAND CROSS’ aims for a loosely connected multiverse structure. 

It feels like completely separate stories, but at some point, intersections might be formed. ‘GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS’ is the first game to be released based on the ‘GRAND CROSS’ universe.

In ‘GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS’, the term ‘GRAND CROSS’ refers to a dimensional rift that connects
the real world and
another world.

They embark on a journey to rebuild the crisis-ridden Skyna Kingdom, bringing this narrative to life in the form of an MMORTS game.

This genre is highly popular overseas, particularly in the mobile gaming market.

Netmarble F&C has validated its understanding and expertise in Animated-Style games through the development of the game ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross.’

They have created an in-game webtoon with adorable SD characters, and various heroes through hundreds of pages and added full voice to increase immersion.

Even someone completely new to the MMORTS genre can't help but be interested. That’s all for today’s review content. We will come back with more exciting content for Part 2 of the review.
