Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi is set to be released in 2026

Heads-up for fans: Netmarble—yes, the publisher—has officially pegged 2026 for the large-scale game adaptation The Seven Colossi.

It draws from the anime and web novel about a pro who farms "trash games" and then decides to take on a supposedly flawless VR world. On paper it reads like a mix of gamer satire and tense VR survival; the devs say they want an open-world action title that channels the original's vibe. Ambitious, and a little risky to pull off.

Details are light, but the team promises a deep lvl system and char custom that reaches past looks. Expect lvl progression and XP sinks, familiar HP/MP mechanics, and meaningful trade-offs between stats and equipment (not just face sliders). Exploration is meant to be central—areas packed with secrets and side quests that slowly reveal the setting. Whether all that arrives polished in 2026 remains to be seen, so take the hype with a grain of salt.
