Pearl Abyss Invests 30 Billion KRW to Establish 'Art Center' "Largest Scale in Korea"

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Pearl Abyss announced on the 12th that it will establish the 'Pearl Abyss Art Center (tentative name),' specialized in game technology and design research.

Pearl Abyss will invest 30 billion KRW to build a five-story building of approximately 1,500 pyeong near Pyeongchon, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. The company explained that it aims to open in the first half of next year and that it will be the largest art center in the domestic game industry.

The new motion capture studio to be housed in the Art Center will be 300 pyeong in size. It boasts 150 motion capture cameras and a ceiling height of over 9 meters. Additionally, it will have a steel truss roof (a type of beam assembled in triangles from straight members) creating a large space without pillars.

With the high ceiling and spacious area secured, it will be possible to conduct diverse and efficient motion capture filming without spatial constraints, from wire action to large objects or animals.

Pearl Abyss is already actively investing in game technology by operating its own top-tier motion capture studio, three-dimensional (3D) scan studio, and audio room equipped with poly recording.

Kim Jaegwon, Head of Pearl Abyss Art Division, said, “The Art Center was planned from the consideration of creating more realistic and cinematic games. It will take a step further as Pearl Abyss’s technological forward base to enhance the completeness and quality of new titles such as Black Desert IP, Red Desert, Dokkaebi, and Plan 8.”

Meanwhile, Pearl Abyss is also constructing a new headquarters in the Knowledge Information Town of Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, aiming for completion in the first half of next year. The new headquarters will be a 15-story building above ground with five basement floors, and through it, the company plans to advance game development and improve work efficiency.
