Ncsoft Corporation (KRX: 036570), a leading South Korean video game developer and publisher, specializes in massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), mobile games, and related digital entertainment products; its core portfolio includes flagship MMORPG franchises such as Lineage, Lineage II, Lineage M, Lineage 2M, Lineage W, Aion, Aion 2, Blade & Soul, Blade & Soul 2, Blade & Soul Heroes, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Throne and Liberty, and upcoming titles like Project E, as well as shooters like Cinder City, action brawlers like Battle Crush, strategy RPGs, rhythm games like FUSER, sports titles including Pro Baseball H2 and H3, and web-based board games primarily in Asian markets. The company operates through subsidiaries such as ArenaNet for Guild Wars titles, NC West (overseeing North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand), NC Japan, Iron Tiger Studios for mobile adaptations, and newly established entities including FirstSpark Games (Studio X for Throne and Liberty IP), BigFire Games (Studio Y for Cinder City), Ludius Games (Studio Z for TACTAN), and NC AI for game and application AI development; it targets global gamers with a focus on PC, mobile, and console platforms across regions including South Korea, North America, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, and Russia. Founded in 1997 by Kim Taek-jin and headquartered in Pangyo, Seongnam, South Korea, Ncsoft maintains operations from offices in Bellevue, Washington (USA), Tokyo (Japan), and other international locations to support its worldwide publishing and development efforts. Recent major changes include a comprehensive 2024-2025 corporate restructuring, with shareholder-approved split-offs on November 28, 2024, establishing four new wholly-owned subsidiaries effective February 1, 2025, alongside project closures like Battle Crush (shut down November 29, 2024), downsizing of others such as Project M, layoffs, and a voluntary retirement program to optimize resources; the company launched Throne and Liberty in December 2023 (published in the West and Japan by Amazon Games), received Chinese government approval for online games in October 2024, introduced an in-house mobile payment network for titles like Lineage M and Lineage 2M starting late 2025 to reduce app store fees, formed a Mobile Casual Division led by Anel Ceman in 2025, partnered with Shengqu Games for Aion Mobile and Sony Interactive Entertainment for projects like Horizon Steel Frontiers, and plans aggressive 2026 global expansions including Aion 2, Cinder City, Limit Zero Breakers, Time Takers, Lineage W relaunch in Southeast Asia/North America/Russia, and Lineage titles in China.
