KRAFTON will be at Gamescom 2026, where five new games will be released for players to sample as they prepare for the publisher’s next wave of shooters, RPGs, co-op adventure and competitive multiplayer.
PUBG: DED.NET, a new multiplayer FPS, is also being released and it’s a fresh take on the familiar PUBG game.
The five games presented by KRAFTON are PUBG: DED.NET, NO LAW, Project ZETA, Age Twisters and TARAE: The Unbound.
The company does not target one genre but has placed together the five games as a broad display of different gameplay experiences.
PUBG: DED.NET Brings a New Twist to PUBG
PUBG: DED.NET is probably the most familiar name in the line-up but its gameplay doesn’t follow the battle royale formula. Set in 1990s Cascadia, a fictionalised version of the Pacific Northwest, it combines multiplayer FPS battle with roguelite progression.
Instead of treating every match as an individual battle, DED.NET allows progression to carry over runs. Players can acquire abilities, shape their characters and adapt their strategies as they play.
KRAFTON insists that the experience is more like a run than simply another match in which you lose and you will move forward.
The game is also deliberately unpredictable in style, using the 1990s culture and chaotic combat and survival mechanics to create an atmosphere. There is already a closed beta registration on the official DED.NET website.

Four More Games Join the Lineup
NO LAW is an open-world FPS RPG from Neon Giant that puts shooting, hacking and infiltration in a flexible open-world setting.
Project ZETA takes a different route with team-based PvP action. Three-player teams fight for objectives in larger battles and teamwork, positioning and character abilities are key to victory.
Age Twisters is a two-player cooperative adventure that has characters passing through different stages in life. Players need to work together and use abilities of their age to solve puzzles that they need to move forward.
At the same time, TARAE: The Unbound takes players into an Eastern dark fantasy world. That action RPG we’re working on draws on Asian cultural influences and mythology, but with fast-paced combat and powerful abilities.
KRAFTON Bets on Variety
The Gamescom 2026 show demonstrates KRAFTON’s attempts to expand beyond its best-known battle royale franchise. PUBG: DED.NET is the most recognizable brand name but the other four projects show the publisher’s interest in a variety of genres and gameplay structures.
For PUBG fans, DED.NET might be the most interesting announcement because it feels like multiplayer survival but it mixes it with roguelite progression and a nostalgic 1990s setting.
Early beta registration for this game is open and as development continues you will learn more about the project.
