by Rainier on Feb. 25, 2026 @ 7:01 p.m. PST

Set in Seoul, Nakwon: Last Paradise is a 3rd person PvPvE zombie apocalypse stealth/survival game, in which players must use their wits to avoid detection, loot items, and escape to survive.

Nakwon: Last Paradise is a PvPvE game for up to 16 players from MintRocket, which most recently introduced Dave The Diver.

Experience a new form of 'Post-Apocalypse Life' that you've never seen before. Explore Extraction Survival and gather resources from the PvPvE city, where Zombies and Survivors coexist to survive in this new societal structure.

The sub-title "Last Paradise" holds a profound meaning, signifying that 'Yeouido' is a restricted Quarantine Zone, where Survivors are gathered to evade Zombies—it’s the last region where hope of survival remains. The teaser video featuring actual gameplay from an early game build showcases various ways to survive in Seoul, a city filled with tension and silence.

Meanwhile, in line with its commitment to player-centric development, MintRocket plans to hold a pre-alpha open test of Nakwon: Last Paradise for players later this year.


NEXON announced that Nakwon: Last Paradise will run a Closed Alpha Test for select players from March 11 at 5:00 PM PT through March 16 at 1:00 AM PT. 

Previously, eligible regions were limited to parts of North America and East Asia. Access has now been expanded to parts of South America, with the game now localized in Spanish (Latin American) and Portuguese (Brazil), making the test accessible to more players. Players will experience an updated version of the Pre-Alpha Test with expanded weaponry, additional Special Infected types, various gameplay environmental settings, an interactive 3D living space and more.

Closed Alpha Test sign-ups will remain open until the end date on March 16 with players being selected to participate throughout the testing period. Once selected, players will be able to participate according to the test schedule. Players who participated in the Pre-Alpha Test will automatically be included in the Closed Alpha Test and no further sign up is required.

Survivors can request access to the playtest on the official NAKWON: LAST PARADISE Steam page.

Nakwon: Last Paradise’s Closed Alpha Test features an arsenal that has been significantly expanded beyond the Pre-Alpha Test to include over 60 melee weapons and 7 ranged weapons, enabling more diverse combat and strategic approaches. In addition, 6 new types of Special Infected—previously unavailable in the Pre-Alpha—have been introduced. The gameplay environment now features daytime, nighttime and heavy rain weather conditions, offering players a more diverse gameplay experience. Since the Pre-Alpha, the shelter has evolved into a fully interactive 3D living space where crafting workbenches can be placed and players can create essential items that can help in expeditions or housing features that provide survival benefits.


New Content:

  • Three New Firearms: The Revolver, Pistol and Double-Barrel Shotgun are the latest additions to the firearm lineup.
  • Three New Melee Weapons: The Firefighter Axe, Sledgehammer and One-Handed Axe are the latest additions to the melee lineup, along with the Round Riot Shield for protection.
  • Six New Special Infected Types: Previously unavailable in the Pre-Alpha Test, six new Special Infected have been added including Runner, Screamer, Gatherer, Armored, Butcher and the Policeman. Each Special Infected obtains unique appearances and behavioral traits that require different tactical approaches. Their traits reflect who they were before the infection, shaping both their appearance and combat behavior. Regardless of type, however, all infected are highly sensitive to loud noises and certain areas may attract large numbers of the infected, so caution is advised.
  • Three New Environment Settings: Gameplay will now feature Daytime, Nighttime and Heavy Rain environmental settings. New screenshots of Jongno South highlight the contrast between daytime and nighttime settings, as the map now expands beyond its previously dark environment to include daytime and heavy rain conditions. Heavy rain muffles sound, making it harder for both infected and players to detect one another and adding a new layer of tension to encounters.
  • Housing Content: Players can place a wide variety of furniture in their shelter to help their chances of survival. Upgrading the workbench allows crafting of more useful items, refrigerators prolong the shelf life of consumables, and other housing items let players personalize their shelter to their liking. As players advance in Citizen Rank, their shelter is upgraded, offering more functional and accommodating living spaces.
  • Skill Tree: Traits are essential for survival in NAKWON. With the newly added character level progression, players can earn trait points and increase their survivability using a variety of active and passive skills.
