NHN has officially debuted its first virtual streamer, Skaya, on April 28 at 9 PM KST, marking a unique fusion between VTuber content and the game world of its upcoming anime-style RPG Abyssdia. Designed as an official character within the Abyssdia universe, Skaya is positioned not merely as a promotional figure but as a core narrative agent—a spy from the in-game kingdom of Verania—tasked with infiltrating the world and delivering live reports directly to fans.
Abyssdia is a fantasy action RPG currently in pre-registration ahead of its official launch in summer 2025. The game immerses players in a battle against dark voids called Abyss Slits, assuming the role of “Harmonizers” — entities that resist this corruption. Featuring real-time four-player co-op combat, character bonding mechanics, cooking, dating systems, and more, the title promises a rich and interactive gameplay experience.
During her debut livestream, Skaya’s voice and full visual model were revealed for the first time. The stream also introduced her lore, her role within the game world, and future streaming plans. Skaya’s broadcasts will integrate directly with Abyssdia’s narrative, exploring the game’s world through the eyes of a spy and expanding the lore in real-time alongside fans.
To celebrate the debut, “Debut Week” will run from April 28 to May 6, featuring nightly livestreams. On most days, streams begin at 9 PM KST, except on May 2, when the show will start at 10 PM. Each episode will cover different aspects of the game, such as character side stories, in-world cooking segments with NPC taste-tests, and detailed gameplay demonstrations.
NHN’s strategy is to engage the player base before the game’s official launch by creating meaningful entry points into Abyssdia’s universe. Rather than being a one-off marketing stunt, Skaya is envisioned as a long-term content hub—bridging fans and the game world through interactive storytelling and live media.
All of Skaya’s content will be streamed live via Abyssdia’s official YouTube channel (@ABYSSDIA_JP) and TikTok account (@abyssdia_jp), with video archives released shortly after. Future content includes cover songs, in-game character interviews, and user-generated events, building a robust and expanding media presence around the IP.
Abyssdia will be released on iOS, Android, and Windows simultaneously. The game will be free to play with optional in-app purchases. Pre-registration is now open via the official website (abyssdia.com) and mobile app stores.
Through this project, NHN aims to establish a new cross-media marketing model by integrating virtual content creators directly into game IP. The company also announced plans to pursue further expansion of its intellectual properties into multimedia ecosystems, combining storytelling, streaming, and interactive fan engagement.
