Metacraft Confirms Official Game Title of 'Project S.O.N' as 'Solitaire of Novel'
[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Metacraft (CEO Yoo Jungseok), an affiliate of Topcomedia (CEO Yoo Jungseok), announced on the 22nd that the official game title of ‘Project S.O.N,’ which utilizes web novel IP from its web novel platform ‘Novelpia,’ has been finalized as ‘Solitaire of Novel.’
‘Solitaire of Novel’ is a compound word combining Novelpia’s web novel IP and the card game ‘Solitaire,’ which can be enjoyed alone, making it a game that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can easily enjoy.
Additionally, popular web novels from Novelpia that will appear in the game are scheduled to be revealed sequentially, and since immersive web novels will be adapted to fit the game environment, it is drawing great anticipation from readers.
To this end, Metacraft announced in April that the first web novel IP, ‘Yongsa Party Ttaeryeo Chiwumnida’ (I Quit the Hero Party), would have characters appearing in the game, and has now revealed the second participating IP.
The second IP to appear is the popular novel ‘Miraeeseo On Yeonaepyeonji’ (Love Letter from the Future), and the official game Twitter account has released illustrations delicately capturing the four main characters, receiving enthusiastic responses from subscribers.
‘Miraeeseo On Yeonaepyeonji’ is a popular work on Novelpia with over 9.3 million cumulative views and more than 460 episodes serialized. It won the Excellence Award at last year’s Universe Strongest Contest.
‘Solitaire of Novel’ has completed internal beta testing and aims for release within this year.
Yoo Jungseok, CEO of Metacraft, said, “I am very pleased to be able to present various web novels that participated in the contest as mobile games beyond just text,” and added, “We will continue to introduce various popular works as games to deliver rich entertainment.”
