On May 20, Kong Studio announced that its upcoming role-playing game has been officially titled Guardian Maiden. The game is a 2D pixel-art RPG that builds upon the immersive storytelling and classic gameplay elements of Kong Studio's flagship title Guardian Tales, while introducing modern mechanics that reimagine and refine the established formula.

Kong Studio will showcase Guardian Maiden at "Illustar Fest 11", held from May 23 to 24 at KINTEX in Ilsan. The event is a comprehensive subculture convention centered on Japanese anime-style aesthetics. A dedicated booth will be set up for Guardian Maiden, where the studio will also present the game's promotional video.

It will be particularly interesting to compare Guardian Maiden directly with Guardian Tales, as the two titles may share similarities in visual style and gameplay while also highlighting their own distinct design directions.
