Nexon's Ambitious Title 'Dungeon & Fighter Mobile' China Release Temporarily Postponed
"Upgrade Needed for Game Over-Immersion Prevention System"
[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Nexon's biggest project for the second half of the year, 'Dungeon & Fighter (DNF) Mobile,' has been delayed in its launch in China.
Nexon announced on the 11th that the scheduled service launch of DNF Mobile in China, originally set for the 12th, has been temporarily postponed.
Tencent, the local publisher in China, is reportedly upgrading the 'minor game addiction prevention system' for DNF Mobile. This is due to the Chinese government's recent strong push for policies to prevent gaming addiction among minors.
The official release date for DNF Mobile has not yet been determined. Nexon explained, "Before launching DNF Mobile's service in China, it was necessary to upgrade the in-game over-immersion prevention system, so the service schedule was inevitably delayed." They added, "We are working closely with Tencent to create the best environment so that minors can enjoy DNF Mobile in a healthy way."
