At the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, EVR Studio from Korea revealed MUDANG: Two Hearts, a tactical action title drawing inspiration from stealth classics. The game explores an alternate reality where North and South Korea unify—only for the historic moment to be disrupted by a coordinated assault on Seoul’s parliamentary complex.
Players alternate between dual leads with distinct motivations: Ji Jeongtae, a hardened commando from the North racing to dismantle subterfuge; and GAVI, a South Korean pop star entangled in a web of espionage. Their stories collide across branching campaigns, blending infiltration, melee combat, and gadget-based problem-solving. Stealth or aggression? Silent takedowns, EMP disruptors, or explosive ordnance? The game adapts to diverse playstyles.
Environments feature nonlinear pathways and reactive AI adversaries. Guards coordinate patrols, investigate disturbances, and adjust tactics mid-engagement—pinning down intruders through flanking maneuvers or calling reinforcements. Mastery requires exploiting distractions, environmental hazards, and layered combat systems pairing CQC techniques with customizable loadouts.
Dynamic story beats shift based on key decisions, while cinematic sequences bridge missions without interruption. Boss confrontations demand strategic ingenuity, testing mastery of both evasion and assault mechanics. Scheduled for a 2026 release, MUDANG: Two Hearts will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms.
