Legacy ‘Fortress’ IP Returns with 1M Pre-registrations in 15 Days

New strategic shooting game “Fortress3 Blue”, developed by CCR and serviced by Blomix,

has surpassed 1 million pre-registrations in just 15 days. Based on the early-2000s hit Fortress series,

the title shows strong nostalgia-driven interest even before launch.

♦  Key Case overview

      • Blomix announced that pre-registrations for Fortress3 Blue exceeded 1 million on 11 December 2025,

          15 days after sign-ups opened on 26 November.

      • The milestone unlocks all cumulative pre-registration rewards, including character cards and item

          boxes for participating users.

♦  Content / Business point

      • Fortress3 Blue is a casual strategic shooting game built on the Fortress IP, which reportedly had around

          14 million members in Korea in the early 2000s.

      • The game preserves the classic mechanics—tank movement, angle control, projectile firing—while

          adding modern growth systems for characters and tanks, plus strategic skills.

      • It supports cross-platform play between PC and mobile, with friend-invite and sharing events running

          alongside pre-registration.

♦  Global / Buyer angle

      • For overseas publishers and platform partners, Fortress3 Blue exemplifies how a legacy Korean online-

          game IP can be refreshed as a cross-platform title with strong early user traction.
