Woochi the Wayfarer just 4D-scanned its lead actor, and they won't tell us who he is

Woochi the Wayfarer is the Joseon fantasy action game from Nexon Games' LoreVault Studio, where the Taoist mage Jeon Woo-chi fights monsters with magic. Their second dev update says the actor who plays Woo-chi is cast, and in August the team went to Epic Games' studio in LA for a 4D scan with 3Lateral, the digital human people.

They're not revealing the actor yet, which is a very effective way to make me zoom into the back of a man's head.

The part I like more is the world. Nexon signed an MOU with the Korea Tourism Organization for about 70,000 images and around 1,000 videos of Korean nature and heritage, including drone footage and historic sites that are hard to get into. In March the team scouted Towangseong Falls on Seoraksan, Hwanseongul Cave and Naksansa Temple. Unreal Engine 5, PC and console, single-player. Jeon Woo-chi comes from a classic Korean tale, and some people will know the name from the 2009 movie with Gang Dong-won. I lived in Busan for a while, so if a piece of that coastline ends up in the game, I'm buying it day one.

4D scan before revealing the actor is peak game marketing. Show us the back of his head, LoreVault

Taoist mage fighting monsters in Joseon is an anime I'd watch, and now it's a game

if a loot box screen shows up I'm singing "I want to break free" and refunding. fingers crossed

Opening a door and walking through it need very different budgets. I'll believe it on release day

Korean single-player action is having a moment. Lies of P opened the door, this one has to walk through it

Single-player action built on Korean folklore is exactly what's missing. As long as it doesn't turn into a gacha by launch

Real places like Seoraksan and Naksansa in a game is a big deal. Imagine fighting monsters at a temple you actually visited

Jeon Woo-chi is a great pick. In the old tale he uses his tricks to humiliate corrupt officials, so there's a lot of personality to work with

A game about a magic Taoist. Sounds spellbinding
