Webzen, the Korean studio behind the hugely popular MU and R2 games, has just lifted the lid on its latest project.
Awaken Legends, previously known as “project F”, is an idle RPG that sees you collecting and upgrading heroes and deploying them in PvP and PvE battles.
There are 50 heroes to collect, each belonging to one of seven different factions. These include Human, Gifted, Cyborg, Orc, Elf, Nogoth and Brandon.
Details are still thin on the ground, but it’s safe to assume that these factions all have their own combat characteristics, while the heroes themselves will have distinct strengths and abilities.
According to the press release, Awaken Legends will have boundless worlds to explore. And because it’s an idle game, you’ll be able to earn rewards AFK, allowing you to make progress in double-quick time.

The studio has also launched a teaser site and a Facebook page. Head to those to check out some of
