Npixel’s new game “Eclipse: The Awakening,” to be published by Smilegate, is being readied for a 2026 release. The developer says it is building an MMORPG designed to be easy to enjoy, lowering entry barriers by reducing the pressure to stay logged in. It adds an idle accumulation system and shared growth across characters. The game also separates safe and danger zones to curb indiscriminate PK.

South Korea considers 3x leverage ETFs to lure retail investors back
South Korea is reviewing measures to reverse the shift of retail investors into U.S. leveraged ETFs, including lifting the leverage limit for domestic ETFs from 2x to 3x and permitting single-stock leveraged products. Industry officials say holdings of U.S. stock leveraged ETFs by Korean individuals reached $15.6 billion as of November 2025. Authorities expect the steps could ease upward pressure on the won-dollar exchange rate, though critics warn of higher investor risk.
