Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Wemade

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Wemade will officially launch its ambitious title 'Mir4' on the 25th.

Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Wemade, stated at a press conference held on the 19th at Korea's largest game show 'G-STAR 2020', "The launch of Mir4 will establish Wemade as a leading Korean game company," adding, "NCSoft rose to its current position with the Lineage intellectual property (IP). We aim to set a comparable vision with the Mir IP, which is number one in China."

'Mir4' is the sequel to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) 'Legend of Mir 2'. Wemade's flagship IP, 'Legend of Mir', sparked a craze in China. 'Legend of Mir 2' had 500 million users worldwide. Mir4 has also attracted great interest, gathering 3 million pre-registrations.

CEO Jang expressed confidence in Mir4's success. Instead of revealing a target revenue, he stated his ambition: "I want to be number one in the mobile game rankings." He added, "Based on feedback from the gaming industry, I believe this is not an impossible goal."

Wemade is also preparing to launch Mir4 in China. Regarding concerns about the issuance of the game license (pan-ho) for distribution in China, CEO Jang said, "The situation is different from other games," and expressed confidence that "there will be no issues with the Chinese service."
