Nexon Launches Hit Game 'V4' for the First Time in Global Markets Including Taiwan and Hong Kong
10 Game Servers... PC Version Also Introduced
[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Nexon announced on the 26th that it has officially launched the mobile massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) 'V4', developed by its subsidiary NetGames, in the Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau regions.
Starting at 10 a.m. local time on the same day, Nexon began official V4 service for users in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Following the V4 pre-registration that began on the 20th of last month, a server and character name reservation event was held on the 27th. There are a total of 10 servers available for game access.
The global version of V4 is a mobile MMORPG featuring ▲ the 'Interserver World' that overcomes the limitations of the mobile environment ▲ the 'Autonomous Economy System' that protects asset value ▲ six themed 'Open Fields' realized with Unreal Engine 4 ▲ and six classes designed with an independent combat structure.
Nexon also introduced the V4 PC version, which allows cross-play through mobile account linkage, following its domestic release. Global version users can enjoy V4 by downloading the client rather than using an emulator (a program that allows smartphone apps to run on a PC).
Park Yong-hyun, CEO of NetGames, said, "We pursued innovation by presenting new fun from the interserver that breaks down server boundaries to cross-play across platforms," adding, "We will strive to provide valuable services by listening to the voices of global users."
