[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Mr. Blue announced on the 5th that its subsidiary Blue Potion Games has signed a business agreement with Japanese game service company Funcrew.


Building on this agreement, Blue Potion Games will launch the mobile traditional MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) 'EOS Red,' which it directly develops and services, in Japan. The two companies will actively establish a cooperative relationship in all areas for localization, including operation and marketing of EOS Red, and plan to release the game in the second quarter.


A company representative stated, "Based on our experience maintaining top rankings in markets including Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, we will successfully establish ourselves in the Japanese market as well," adding, "We will continue user-friendly policies that leverage the game's core fun elements of MMORPG and the advantages of direct service."


Funcrew, established in Tokyo, Japan in 2015, is a specialized game development and publishing company. It is a subsidiary of DeNA, the developer of 'Monster Strike,' and has a successful track record of launching the mobile RPG 'Exos Heroes.' Exos Heroes ranked number one on both the Japanese Google Play Store and Apple App Store after its release.


A Blue Potion Games representative emphasized, "Amid the golden age of K-content, we will do our best for the successful localization of the traditional MMORPG EOS Red in Japan," and added, "Based on our know-how in the global market, we will continue the success story in Japan."


A Funcrew representative said, "We highly evaluated EOS Red, which achieved great results with high game completeness in Korea and Taiwan," and expressed, "We expect it to receive an explosive response in Japan as well."



Meanwhile, Mr. Blue’s subsidiary Blue Potion Games plans to expand its business this year through overseas expansion of EOS Red and publishing projects of various game genres.
