Nexon has announced that its consolidated subsidiary, Neople has signed an agreement with Tencent to bring Project Overkill, an online action RPG set in the Dungeon&Fighter universe, to players in China.

Neople, the developer of the Dungeon&Fighter franchise, will work closely with Tencent to develop a hyperlocalized game for the PC platform. A release schedule for the game will be announced at a later date.

“Project Overkill is an all-new perspective on the Dungeon&Fighter universe, hyperlocalized to align with the unique tastes and preferences of millions of Dungeon&Fighter fans in China,” said Nexon president and CEO, Junghun Lee, in a press release.

“This agreement builds on the highly successful partnership between Nexon and Tencent that brought Dungeon&Fighter to PC in China and was extended earlier this year.”

Developed by Neople, Project Overkill is an online action RPG based on the global blockbuster, Dungeon&Fighter.

The title is one of several extensions of the Dungeon&Fighter IP, alongside The First Berserker: Khazan, Arad: Idle RPG, Dungeon&Fighter Classic, and Dungeon&Fighter: Arad.
