Smilegate Unveils New Gameplay Trailer for Upcoming RPG, "Chaos Zero Nightmare": Pre-Registration Begins in July
SEOUL, South Korea, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday the 10th, Smilegate announced the release of a new promotional video titled "Embrace Despair," featuring actual gameplay from its upcoming RPG "Chaos Zero Nightmare" (henceforth CZN), developed by Super Creative.
The trailer premiered globally at 03:00 on June 10 (UTC) via the official CZN YouTube channel and on X. As a follow-up to the first promotional video released last November, this second trailer highlights CZN's unique card-based battle system and unveils a host of monsters drawn from its corrupted universe.
CZN is set in a dark fantasy universe corrupted and destroyed by a mysterious entity known as the "Chaos." To reflect this concept, its world is filled with eerie monsters rarely found in traditional anime-style RPGs.
The video concluded with a notice that pre-registration is scheduled to begin in mid-July.
To commemorate the new PV release, Smilegate is also hosting a Baemin (Baedal Minjok) mobile coupon giveaway via a draw on the social media platform "X" from June 10 to June 16. Users can participate by following the official CZN account on X and reposting the event post to their own accounts.
CZN is Super Creative's next-generation IP, helmed by CEO Kim Hyung Suk, creator of Epic Seven, who also serves as the game's director. At the base of CZN is a collectible RPG where players can collect and upgrade their favorite characters. The game blends deck-building mechanics with features from multiple genres to create a fresh and distinctive experience.
Kim Joo Hyung, Head of Business at Smilegate, stated, "With this PV, we aimed to capture the dark and heavy atmosphere that defines CZN's unique world. We look forward to sharing more updates about Chaos Zero Nightmare in the near future."

"Silk and the Silk Road" Exhibition from China National Silk Museum Debuts in Kazakhstan
HANGZHOU, China, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a vibrant celebration of cultural exchange, the "Silk and the Silk Road: From China to Kazakhstan" exhibition opened at the National Museum of Kazakhstan on June 16. This flagship event of Kazakhstan's "China Tourism Year" coincides with the second China-Central Asia Summit, marking a significant new chapter in cross-cultural dialogue. The opening ceremony wooed attendees with a fusion of Chinese and Kazakh artistic traditions – from the timeless melody of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" on the Guqin (traditional Chinese musical instrument) to the energetic Kazakh dance. A showstopping fashion presentation featured models in exquisite Hanfu (traditional Chinese dress) alongside Kazakh national costumes, creating a visual dialogue across centuries. Highlights of the exhibition include 145 rare artifacts tracing 2,000 years of silk history, three immersive sections: The Birth of Silk, Routes That Changed the World, and Silk in Daily Life. Star exhibits feature 8th-century textiles that showcase extraordinary craftsmanship, adorned with motifs reflecting the rich cultural fusion along the ancient trade routes. Visitors can also experience living traditions through "Beyond the Mulberry Fields: China Sericulture Intangible Cultural Heritages" – interactive demonstrations of UNESCO-listed silk techniques like kesi (silk tapestry) and intricate embroidery by master artisans. Beyond the gallery, scholars from both nations are convening to discuss the preservation of textile heritage, while Hanfu cultural activities bring ancient fashions to life across Astana. The exhibition forms part of China National Silk Museum's Global Showcase programme, with previous shows from seven countries including among others, France, Hungary and Uzbekistan. "These silks are more than artifacts – they're threads connecting our shared history," remarked Zhang Chengming, the museum deputy director during the opening. The exhibition runs through August 8, offering visitors a rare opportunity to witness the enduring legacy of the Silk Roads.
