Krafton to Expand Korean Fantasy Novel, The Bird That Drinks Tears, Into Multimedia Franchise

Krafton today announced Project Windless, which is the company’s plans to develop a game and larger multimedia franchise based on the Korean fantasy novel, The Bird That Drinks Tears.

The Bird That Drinks Tears is a novel series that was created and written by Yeong-do Lee, who is widely acknowledged as the pioneer of the Korean fantasy genre. To help visualize the universe, Krafton has recruited Hollywood talent and concept artist, Iain McCaig, to further bring the novel to life. Mr. McCaig is a concept artist who has been involved in early character visualizations for Star Wars characters, in addition to his work on many other film franchises, such as The Avengers, Harry Potter, and Terminator. His creative work will serve as the visual direction for Krafton’s Project Windless, which encompasses the game and other creative works.
