Netmarble Reveals 'Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi' at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with Stunning Gameplay Preview
September 17, 2026
Netmarble unveiled Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with a high-quality original PV produced alongside C2C, the studio behind the Shangri-La Frontier anime.
The promotional video opens with Wezaemon the Tombguard in the Secret Garden graveyard and showcases Sunraku, Emul, and other main characters in tag-team battles layered with cinematic direction.
The title is a mobile-first collectible RPG adaptation of the Shangri-La Frontier IP, featuring a playable demo that includes Wezaemon the Tombguard and emphasizes faithful recreation of the source material.
Gameplay centers on portrait-mode, tag-based battles with timing, chains, and breaks, balancing auto-battle support with manual play for strategic depth.
Character progression includes gear and secret tomes, with roles like Dogmata (tank) and Banini (ranged), earned through dungeons and subjugations to boost performance.
The game aims to be accessible for newcomers and fans alike on mobile, supported by strong voice acting and tutorials that weave in key original moments.
Development emphasizes faithful recreation of Season 1 moments while expanding the universe with side stories and original characters created with the author and manga artist.
The world experience prioritizes authentic atmosphere and step-by-step exploration of iconic regions over open-world traversal.
Players will explore the in-game world, recruit companions and NPCs, hunt monsters, and engage in a one-handed, two-character swap combat system for accessibility and depth.
The game is a faithful recreation of Shangri-La Frontier, combining exploration, a broad roster of companions, and strategic tag combat mechanics.
Across platforms, the title aims to reflect the IP’s universe with a variety of monsters and a distinctive tag-based battle system designed for mobile play.
Boss and co-op content mirrors the original with patterns for Mud Digger, Wezaemon, and the Seven Colossi, plus planned clan/raid-style modes and boss-specific mechanics.
