Nexon and its smartphone affiliate Nexon Mobile will be merging in an attempt to bolster Nexon’s mobile offerings. According to the Korea Herald, both companies agreed to the merger last Thursday, with an expected completion date of April 2012.
“The measure was put in place to focus on the growth of the mobile business with NEXON’s intellectual property, competitiveness of global businesses and the infrastructure,” said its chief executive Seo Min.
“Considering that the highly growing platforms in the worldwide gaming industry are online games and mobile, mobile is projected to become a core portion of our business. This is why we plan to unify our mobile organization and make more active use of NEXON’s IP and give more weight to overseas projects.”
Nexon is planning to release 10 new smartphone titles this year.
