Netmarble Reveals 'Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi' at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with Stunning Gameplay Preview
September 17, 2026
Netmarble premiered Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with a new original PV produced with C2C, showcasing a mobile-focused, two-character tag-battle RPG set in the Shangri-La Frontier universe.
The demo lets players try a playable segment featuring Wezaemon the Tombguard, while the PV opens in the graveyard of the Secret Garden and highlights battles with Sunraku, Emul, and other central figures, emphasizing cinematic tag-team combat.
Gameplay centers on portrait-mode, boss-driven combat with a mix of auto-battle and manual inputs, requiring timing, pattern recognition, and strategic use of tag swaps and Break gauges.
Character progression includes gear drops, secret tomes, and roles like Dogmata (tank) and Banini (ranged dealer), with dungeons and subjugations driving upgrades.
The project aims for faithful recreation of the Season 1 world, while introducing side stories and original characters developed with the author and manga artist to expand content beyond the anime’s pace.
Early bosses such as the Great Serpent of Gluttony set the tempo, while Lycagon introduces split-second decisions and timed QTEs to heighten tension.
Players explore the in-game world, meet companions and NPCs, hunt monsters, and engage in a one-handed two-character swap system designed for accessibility and depth.
The game is positioned as a faithful adaptation with a mobile-first design, focusing on tactical boss clears, pattern-based combat, and a faithful replication of core IP elements.
The PV blends anime tone with in-game combat, featuring Sunraku, Arthur Pencilgon, and Oikatzo facing Wezaemon while teasing the Seven Colossi as ultimate targets.
Launch plans prioritize a Japan-first release, followed by Korea and global versions, with localized content and voice options under consideration for Japanese and Korean audiences.
Demo and live presentation included staff insights and feedback, with positive reception to feel of the protagonist’s perspective and fast-paced, parry-driven action.
Additional materials and ongoing updates will be shared through official teaser sites and the game’s X and YouTube channels as development continues.
