NAKWON Arcade

NAKWON Arcade is one of the 14 confirmed named landmarks on the expedition map that was playable during the Closed Alpha Test of NAKWON: LAST PARADISE. It sits within the ruined post-outbreak Seoul setting that survivors leave their Yeouido refuge to scavenge by night, and shares its name with the player-facing branding of the game itself.

As with the rest of the alpha map, NAKWON Arcade is a fixed point of interest where infected roam and where survivors can collect supplies, pursue mission objectives, and risk losing the gear they brought in if they fail to extract. Mintrocket has not, as of the alpha period, published a detailed mechanical breakdown of the building's interior, named loot tiers, or scripted mission lines tied specifically to this landmark, so the entries below describe only what has been confirmed. For a wider tour of the alpha map and the full landmark list, see the expedition map overview.

Real-World Inspiration

The landmark draws its name from Nakwon Sangga (낙원상가), a real shopping arcade located in the Jongno district of central Seoul. The real arcade is widely associated with musical instruments, and its presence in central Jongno places it in the same general neighborhood as several other named alpha landmarks (notably the Jongno Building and Tapgol Park, which are also references to recognizable Jongno-area places).

The in-game NAKWON Arcade should be treated as a fictional adaptation rather than a one-to-one reproduction. The game uses the name and the broad shopping-arcade concept as flavor for the post-outbreak setting; specific real-world tenants, floors, and history are not part of the canonical wiki record for this landmark. Anything beyond the name, the Jongno location reference, and the musical-instrument arcade association has not been confirmed by Mintrocket and should not be assumed to carry over into the game world.

In-Game Status

NAKWON Arcade was first confirmed alongside the other 13 named alpha landmarks in the press materials accompanying the closed alpha that ran from 11 March 2026 to 16 March 2026. Outside of that confirmation and its inclusion in the alpha-build map, no further canonical detail has been published about the building's internal layout, scripted enemy spawns, named NPCs, or unique reward structures. Future playtests or the full release are likely to add this detail; until then, this article will be expanded only as Mintrocket and Nexon publish additional verified information.
