- PLAYWITH KOREA Inc. is a South Korea-based video game developer, publisher, and digital content distributor specializing in massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), mobile gaming software, and interactive entertainment platforms. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, the company operates across four primary business segments: Game Development and Publishing, which encompasses the design, live operation, and servicing of PC online and mobile titles based on proprietary intellectual property; IP Licensing and Global Distribution, which monetizes flagship franchises through international publishing agreements and regional overseas operating entities, including Playwith Interactive Inc. in North America as well as branches in Taiwan and Latin America; Digital Distribution Services, which provides authorized domestic distribution of Steam Wallet prepaid codes via dedicated online platforms; and PC Cafe Solutions, which manages Steam PC Cafe platform services and software infrastructure for cybercafes throughout South Korea. The company's core product portfolio is anchored by its established intellectual property franchises, including the R.O.H.A.N. series, featuring R.O.H.A.N.: Blood Feud, Rohan Origin, Rohan M, and the cross-platform title Rohan 2; the Seal franchise, comprising Seal Online, Seal Online: Blades of Destiny, Seal M, and related casual multiplayer spinoffs; and third-party localized game publishing titles. In recent corporate developments, the company changed its name from PLAYWITH Inc. to PLAYWITH KOREA Inc. in November 2023 to clarify its domestic identity and streamline its global corporate organization. Operationally, the company has expanded its multi-platform portfolio with the domestic and international rollout of Seal M across Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and South Korea, alongside the launch of the next-generation MMORPG Rohan 2, featuring cross-platform PC-mobile support and integration with blockchain-based digital asset ecosystems. Furthermore, PLAYWITH KOREA Inc. has strengthened its international reach through strategic regional licensing partnerships in Southeast Asia and continued operational expansion of its Steam distribution network and internet cafe support channels.
