SoulWorker (Hangul: 소울워커, also known as SoulWorker Online) is an anime-style free action massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Lion Games Studios from South Korea. The game story takes place fifteen years ago after a portal, known as the void, started bringing demons into the world. Fifteen years later, children that were once lost to the void were transported back to their world. Armed with supernatural powers, these children were to be known as SoulWorkers.

SoulWorker was first released in Japan on April 6, 2016 with Hangame publishing the game. The Korean version was published by Smilegate on January 18, 2017, while the English version entered Open Beta on February 26, 2018 with Gameforge as its publisher. Players can download the English version through Steam[9] or through the official Gameforge website.
