Issue Focus

Kakao Games is strategically expanding its presence in the gaming industry by launching new titles across PC and console platforms. Embracing a dual-track approach, the company is focused on delivering top-tier global titles within core genres that boast high user loyalty. 'Path of Exile 2,' a significant upcoming release, will enter early access in Korea on November 16, sustaining its momentum in the gaming market.
Building on the success of its 2013 predecessor, 'Path of Exile 2' offers enhanced action elements and a wealth of content, featuring six acts and over 100 bosses. The game introduces 12 playable characters, each with three distinct subclasses, a detailed passive skill tree, and numerous skill gems, ensuring a diverse gaming experience. Additionally, it presents a comprehensive endgame with over 100 maps and improved features from former leagues.
Leveraging its prior success in mobile gaming, Kakao Games is making a concerted push into the PC and console segments. With previous hits like 'Odin: Valhalla Rising,' the company is set to grow its global influence through well-established PC and console games, including exciting upcoming titles like 'ArcheAge Chronicle' and 'Chrono Odyssey' that promise high-caliber graphics and innovative gameplay. Ocean Drive Studio, a Kakao subsidiary, is also readying three new titles for a global rollout, further diversifying their offerings in the market.
