NCSoft Promotes Baek Seung-wook to CBO Executive Director... Boosting Support for Anticipated Title Aion 2

NCSoft has promoted Baek Seung-wook, Chief Business Officer (CBO) who has been leading the development of its next title 'Aion 2', to Executive Director.

According to industry sources on the 16th, NCSoft made this personnel appointment the day before. Last month on the 8th, during an organizational restructuring, Baek was appointed as one of the three CBOs responsible for major game and intellectual property (IP) development and business organizations, alongside Vice President Lee Seong-gu and Executive Director Choi Moon-young.

Since Executive Director Baek has been at the forefront of Aion 2's development, this personnel move is interpreted as an effort to place greater emphasis on the development of Aion 2.

An NCSoft official stated, "CBO Baek will lead the development and launch of Aion 2 while ensuring the continuous stability and growth of the major IPs under his responsibility."

The official sequel to Aion, Aion 2, is known as a key upcoming title that NCSoft has repeatedly emphasized in its earnings announcements since last year. It is reported that around 200 to 300 personnel have been assigned to the project.
