According to Netmarble, the company that released three large-scale RPG games in the first half of the year, they are planning to continue their active expansion by launching a number of new games in the second half of the year. Two of their recent releases, ‘I Alone Level Up: Arise’ and ‘Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions,’ have been performing well in the early stages. ‘I Alone Level Up,’ released on the 8th of this month, recorded 5 million daily active users and sales of 14 billion Korean won on the first day, setting a new record for Netmarble’s launch performance.
Despite being available on both PC and mobile platforms, Asdal Chronicles entered the top 5 in Apple’s App Store sales rankings on the day of its release and ranked first on Google Play.
Netmarble is set to release their latest MMORPG, ‘Raven 2,’ on the 29th of this month as their final new game for the first half of the year. As the sequel to the award-winning ‘Raven’ at the 2015 Korea Game Awards, Raven 2 has already surpassed 1 million pre-registered users, indicating its potential success.
Additionally, Netmarble is preparing to launch four new RPG titles in the second half of the year. Among them, ‘Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross’ is generating attention as Netmarble’s second title following ‘Seven Knights’ from last year, based on the popular anime IP ‘Seven Deadly Sins.’ Netmarble has already achieved 60 million downloads globally with ‘Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross.’
Furthermore, Netmarble plans to release ‘RF Online Next’ and ‘Demis Ribbon,’ which were showcased at G-Star 2023 last year, by the end of the year. RF Online Next continues the legacy of ‘RF Online,’ a game loved by 20 million users in 54 countries since its release in 2004. Demis Ribbon is a character-collecting RPG based on Netmarble’s original IP ‘Grand Cross’ world. In addition, ‘King Arthur: Legend Rise,’ targeting the North American market, will also be launched in the second half of the year, featuring a dark fantasy world based on the ‘Knights of the Round Table’ IP.
A Netmarble official stated, “Our lineup for the second half of the year is diverse, ranging from games based on popular IPs to new original content,” adding, “The new titles will offer high-quality gameplay and support various platforms to target both domestic and international markets.”
