NEXON Unveils Unreal Engine 5 RPG “Project EL” with AI-Powered Development

NEXON is integrating generative AI into the development of Project EL, its upcoming open-world fantasy RPG built on Unreal Engine 5. This strategic move aims to:
- Boost development efficiency
- Deliver innovative gameplay
- Strengthen global competitiveness
AI Integration & Hiring Push
Prompt Engineering Focus: NEXON is recruiting “Prompt Managers” to refine AI-driven workflows.
AI-Generated Creatures: A dedicated “AI Creature Designer” role will oversee monster/biome development.
Industry Trend: Follows Rovio (Angry Birds) in adopting AI for production scaling.
Contrast with NEXON’s Other Titles:
Unlike Blue Archive (which prioritizes human-led design), Project EL fully embraces AI-assisted creation.
Game Details

World Scale: 10km×10km magic-fantasy open world
Art Style: High-fidelity realism
Development Stage: Pre-production (prototype completed)
