NAKWON: LAST PARADISE is a third-person multiplayer zombie survival game set in the urban ruins of Seoul, South Korea. Players must venture into the city in the dead of night and manage their shelter by day. They must infiltrate the city full of zombies and other survivors to scavenge valuable resources and use them to prove their worth in an emerging post-apocalyptic order. Survival is the only rule — trust no one, not even the living.

NAKWON: LAST PARADISE’s Closed Alpha Test will provide players with a wealth of content, including a New Game System titled “Last Stand”, 110 Skill Traits, 35 Active and Passive Skills, 60 Melee Weapons, 30 Armor types, 7 Firearms, 14 Landmarks, New Housing Content, 160+ Quests and character customization features with 70+ character outfits.
Offering a challenge, the New Game System, “Last Stand,” will trigger when the player’s HP reaches 0. During this “Last Stand” state, players will not be able to attack or use offensive skills, and taking damage will increase the infection level, with the character dying if it reaches 100%. However, players will be able to extract through exits while in the “Last Stand” state. Will you be able to survive in the “Last Stand” state?
For combat and protection, 60 Melee Weapons will be added, including a dual-wield weapon system and unique characteristics for each weapon type. The 30 Armor types will now be categorized as heavy or light for players’ preferences. Along with this, 7 Firearms are divided among categories such as Makeshift firearms that can be purchased at shops, improvised firearms and factory-grade firearms, both of which can be obtained through Key Resource Intel missions but are retrieved upon extraction. This variety of Melee Weapons, Armor types and Firearms will provide players with numerous options for strategic gameplay.
While trying to survive and hide from the infected in Urban South Korea, players will encounter 14 Landmarks, including the NAKWON Arcade, Tapgol Park, Police Station, Incinerator Facility, Jongno Building, MR Building, Seongdo Building, Hotel Momo, Art Gallery (South/North), Reconstruction Site (South/North) and Parking Lot (South/North).
Lastly, the New Housing Content will add 9 types of Shelters, great for temporary safety from the infected. A Workbench will also be available and can be used to craft or modify items, increasing its durability and performance. The higher the workbench level, the more types of items can be crafted. Weapons and armor crafted at the workbench are also granted additional stats, which can enhance their performance. A Scrap Bench will also be available to dismantle items obtaining various materials. To enhance your shelters, a range of 34 usable pieces of furniture will be available, including the workbench system, utility furniture, cooking counters and refrigerators, along with an additional 40 pieces of decorative furniture for aesthetics.
