Nexon Mobile New Release 'CounterSide' Launches on the 4th of Next Month

"Development of Mobile Subculture Games Representing Korea"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-kyu Lee] Nexon's new mobile game "CounterSide" will launch in the domestic market on February 4.

On the 14th, Nexon held a CounterSide media showcase at Nexon Arena in Seocho-gu, Seoul, revealing the release schedule and service plans. At the event, an in-game trailer video was shown, offering a preview of the characters' thrilling combat gameplay and key game content such as the "Gauntlet."

Kim Jong-yul, head of Nexon Publishing Group 2, explained the CounterSide launch schedule, saying, "It will be officially released on February 4 through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Immediately after launch, we will hold user meetings as quickly as possible to operate in a way that rewards the support from users."

CounterSide is an urban fantasy RPG depicting battles between the real world "NormalSide" and the opposite world "CounterSide." It plans to present content that satisfies users' fantasies with an immersive story and attractive characters. Ryu Geum-tae, CEO of Studio Bside, which is developing CounterSide, and director Park Sang-yeon expressed their ambition to showcase a Korean representative mobile subculture game based on the unique worldview where two worlds exist in one city. Subculture refers to a game genre emphasizing bishonen and bishoujo characters in the style of Japanese manga.

CEO Ryu said, "Many users have shown interest and support even before the release, so we have focused on development with a sense of responsibility," adding, "We will continuously communicate closely with users to present content that is fully satisfying."

Director Park revealed that after the premium test in August last year, more than 30 revisions, including "combat gameplay" and the "recruitment system," were fully improved based on user feedback, and they intend to actively reflect additional user requests going forward. He also introduced CounterSide content such as the story content "Main Stream" and "Side Story," composed of over 300,000 characters of text and more than 50 illustrations, and "DIVE," where players explore the endless CounterSide world to experience battles and events, completing missions that traverse between the real world and the CounterSide.
