"Diversity of Genres and Strengthening Mobile Game Development Capabilities"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Line Games announced on the 3rd that it has acquired the game developer Zero Games and incorporated it as a 100% subsidiary.

This acquisition involved purchasing 100% of Zero Games' shares, with an acquisition cost of 32 billion KRW.

Zero Games, established last year, is a game developer that services the self-developed mobile massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "Chaos Mobile" through its subsidiary XN Games.
