Good news for fans of action-packed roguelikes and unique progression systems: Tripearl Games has officially announced that The Player Who Can't Level Up, their highly anticipated title based on the popular Korean webtoon, is set to release in 2026. The game will be available on PC, current-generation consoles, and mobile devices, promising a fresh take on the genre.
A New Vision for Player Progression
At the heart of The Player Who Can't Level Up is a truly distinctive gameplay mechanic: the complete absence of traditional character levels. Instead of accumulating experience points and leveling up numerical stats, players will find themselves improving solely through their own increasing skill and strategic mastery.
"We wanted to rethink progression in games," stated Manson Jeong, head of Tripearl Games. "In our project, you develop through strategy and adaptation, not through endless grind." This philosophy means that player growth isn't about bigger numbers on a screen, but about learning combat styles, adapting to challenges, and making smart choices during each run.
Based on a Popular Webtoon Universe
The game draws its rich lore and character roster from a highly successful Korean webtoon, which boasts over 210 million views across platforms like Kakao Page, Piccoma, and Tapas. Players will step into the shoes of Kim Kigyu, a chosen warrior destined to face the world's most dangerous foes, despite his unique inability to gain traditional levels. While the game expands upon this beloved universe, Tripearl Games assures newcomers that the storyline will be easy to follow, even if they haven't read the original material. Fans of the webtoon can also look forward to encountering familiar faces, such as Lu and El.
Fast-Paced Action and High Replayability
Built with the stunning visuals of Unreal Engine 5, The Player Who Can't Level Up promises visually engaging and swift sword combat. Each playthrough is designed to feel unique, thanks to roguelike elements that ensure varying skill combinations and progression paths. Players will need to master diverse combat styles, uncover secrets behind mysterious gates, and navigate through a world filled with challenging bosses and cunning traps.
Key features highlighted by Tripearl Games include:
- Spectacular and fast-paced sword combat.
- Skill-based progression, offering new enhancements and possibilities for unique character builds in every run.
- An original storyline crafted in collaboration with the webtoon's creators.
- High replayability, with each run offering a distinct experience due to randomized skill combinations and pathways.

This multi-platform launch aims to bring the unique combat and progression system to a wide global audience, offering a fresh challenge for roguelike enthusiasts.
