On the 22nd, City Labs officially opened the pre-registration site for ‘TaegoM’ and announced the start of full-scale launch marketing. The company stated that even before uploading game-related introduction videos, the unofficially opened ‘TaegoM’ pre-registration site has already attracted high interest, surpassing 350,000 pre-registrations.


Pre-registration will continue through the official ‘TaegoM’ website until the official service scheduled for next month. Pre-registrants will receive various prize benefits including the latest smartphones, wireless gaming keyboards, and department store gift certificates. All pre-registrants will be rewarded with various in-game currencies and, ultimately, the Black Tiger package icon and frame as prizes, depending on the cumulative number of pre-registrations achieved.


‘TaegoM’, for which City Labs signed an exclusive domestic publishing contract last month with Gaia Mobile Korea, is an authentic oriental MMORPG mobile game planned and produced with rich content such as story, raids, and PVP, allowing Korean gamers to enjoy according to their individual preferences.


The company plans to continue the reputation of this global blockbuster game domestically, as ‘TaegoM’ ranked within the top 5 in key Asian markets such as China, Thailand, and Vietnam last year.


Jo Youngjoong, CEO of City Labs, said, “During the pre-registration period of about a month, we plan to engage in comprehensive marketing through abundant events and sequential teaser releases,” adding, “‘TaegoM’ is a blockbuster game proven successful in the global market, and since localization elements tailored to domestic sensibilities have been thoroughly considered, we expect good results to follow.”



‘TaegoM’ builds its worldview based on China’s representative mythology ‘Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas)’, depicting stories of six races?humans, ghosts, yokai, gods, shamans, and demons?fighting during the Taego (Ancient) era when the boundary between heaven and earth was blurred. The game features a differentiated system where masters can pass martial arts skills to disciples, along with uniquely produced various sect contents, fully capturing the charm of an authentic MMORPG.
