Project TH is basically a Korean Splinter Cell with Zombies
With movies and shows such as Parasite, Train to Busan, and Squid Game it's become obvious that Korean media deserves its spot in the limelight. The same principle should be applied to video games, too, and it would seem that Splinter Cell is already on the docket for Korean reinterpretation. That's right: whereas Ubisoft appears to be painfully uninterested in the production of an honest-to-goodness Splinter Cell game, that's not to say other devs can't try their hand at the same concept. Enter EVR Studio's Project TH, Project Two Hearts, and Project Shaman, which all appear to be different titles and/or title translations for a single game. Project TH is a third-person over-the-shoulder stealth action game that takes more than mere cues from Sam Fisher's most bombastic adventures. The thing is, it's got some of that trademark Korean weirdness to it, and though we've already got a bunch of gameplay, there's no proper release window in tow. Pinch of salt, folks. Pinch of salt. https://twitter.com/TH_EVRSTUDIO/status/1625415078391730176 Splinter Cell, global conspiracies, (non)zombies, and idol groups come together in Project TH Right off the bat, I've got to say that Project TH's official synopsis is about as out-there as your average garden-variety Metal Gear title. I recommend reading the full thing here, on the official website, but if you just need a highlight to set the stage, here you go: "[Ordo] is an idol group used as propaganda to increase the number of the voluntary military enlisting and quickly succeeds in gaining mass popularity and meeting its intended goals," it goes. "At the same time, an unidentified armed organization is assembled to take out Ordo." Please note that all of this happens after the unification of South and North Korea (which is where the game's Two Hearts moniker appears to be coming from), and the playable protagonist is assigned as security detail to... an idol group of military propagandists. It's a whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5rKroBgsgM Back on track, gameplay trailers are available via EVR Studio's official Twitter account, and they show why it may well be worth keeping track of Project TH regardless of how you feel about its narrative pitch. This is basically a modern re-envisioning of Splinter Cell Blacklist, albeit with boy bands and zombified rage virus carriers thrown in for good measure. Stealth is a major part of Project TH's gameplay, though high-octane action absolutely remains on the menu should you choose to pursue it. The whole thing looks remarkably slick in motion, and I hope the apparent strangeness of the narrative doesn't overshadow what looks to be a genuinely compelling new stealth(ish) game. One thing that's bound to be a huge draw for fans of Korean cinema, specifically, is the fact that Project TH features famed actors Lee Hong-nae and Heo Sung-tae in leading roles. Might this all be good in the end? Possibly. Just keep in mind that this is about as Korean of a game as it gets. I don't think there's a Gachapon attached to the project though, and it's not a pay-to-win MMORPG, so that's neat.
