SEOUL, Korea – July 12th, 2012 – WEBZEN, the leading free-to-play online game publisher from Korea, today announced the launch of the “WEBZEN Hub” in collaboration with Overwolf, a software company specializing in adding a rich layer of social functionality to games. The WEBZEN Hub (powered by Overwolf) includes a wide set of gaming features accessible to users while playing their favorite games. While WEBZEN players may use Overwolf’s video and screenshot capturing and sharing the most, the client also includes various instant-messaging services, in-game access to TeamSpeak, a music player, an in-game browser and will soon add an in-game app store.
“Overwolf provides connection to the world while in game, you can send messages, check emails, surf web, voice chat and more.” said Jihun Lee, Head of Global Publishing. “We hope to see stronger community by adopting Overwolf service for WEBZEN portal users.”
“WEBZEN is one of the biggest and the most prestigious free-to-play online game publishers in the world,” said Uri Marchand, CEO of Overwolf. “Together, we hope to bring Overwolf’s social features to WEBZEN’s amazing community of users, and enter markets where our presence has not been dominant, until now.”
