Nexon Games is currently developing new IPs targeting the global market across various genres, including the root shooter game ‘First Descendant,’ the TPS (third-person shooter) game ‘Veiled Expert,’ and the MMORTS ‘Godsome: Clash of God.’

Furthermore, Nexon is continuously expanding its genre and development scope by preparing a new lineup utilizing representative IPs of Nexon Company, such as ‘Project DX,’ which uses the IP of the open-world MMORPG ‘Durango: Wild Lands’ developed by Nexon, and ‘Project DW,’ an open-world action RPG based on Neople’s ‘Dungeon & Fighter’ IP.
