WEBZEN announced that it has recently signed a game publishing agreement for a new mobile idle RPG with a game developer Crimoons (www.crimoons.com).
WEBZEN and Crimoons will work together to release an upcoming mobile game called ‘Project F’ (tentative name) with character collection and idle RPG features to the global market including the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, South Korea, and more.
WEBZEN will team up with the developer to target the global market with Project F, providing localized game services for each country or region.
Project F is a new collection-driven idle RPG based on the storyline of strife-torn races who fought against the fallen gods. Along with plenty of in-game social features, the game will be designed to offer co-op experiences with other players, which makes the game stand out from other idle RPGs.
Currently, specific information such as the release date of Project F is not disclosed. WEBZEN plans to draw up specific plans for naming the game, setting the release date and other business procedures in accordance with the game development progress.
With this new partnership, WEBZEN expects to expand its business and add a new genre to the line-up of games in addition to its previous hardcore MMORPGs such as the ‘MU’ series, ‘R2’, and more.
Crimoons is a developer based in Chengdu, China, specialized in mobile game development and game-related cultural content business. With this first collaboration with WEBZEN, the developer will take their first step towards South Korea and other regions by rolling out their game to the global game market.
Apart from this partnership, WEBZEN has recently signed more than three publishing and investment contracts with domestic or foreign developers and is currently working on confidential projects as of now. WEBZEN plans to disclose the details of each project to the public in accordance with the business and development schedules.
Meanwhile, WEBZEN is currently expanding its investment and partnerships by seeking promising development companies, startups, and qualified developers to accomplish one of WEBZEN’s key business goals for 2022 - to strengthen its game publishing. WEBZEN plans to secure the most recent technology to keep pace with cross-play service, as well as a wide range of game genres to reach to worldwide gamers.
WEBZEN also collaborates and invests with indie game developers through an exclusive department, ‘Unicorn TF’, and provides skilled support and consulting services for finance, management, recruitment and business under business expansion and development stages.
To expand its business, diversify its game portfolio, and move on to other game genres or platforms, WEBZEN welcomes the submissions of partnership with no restrictions on investment method, business models, or game genres via an email to [email protected] or the official WEBZEN website: https://company.webzen.com/en/business/partnership
