CGM Writes: Publisher Nexon has sold off it’s 15.08% of NCSoft for $533 Million. This move ends a four year attempt on the part of Nexon to take over gaming rival NCSoft. Nexon has been the biggest third party share holder since 2012 when it purchased 14.68% of the company.
The new Guild Wars 2 expansion, Janthir Wilds, marks the fifth chapter of the classic MMORPG's ongoing story, and it finally adds housing.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Gravemaster writes: "Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire is a successful franchise, but it hasn’t had much luck when it comes to video games. Many were released, but only the one from Telltale games received more or less recognition and it was cancelled after one season anyway. Now, we have news of another Game of Thrones game in development."
Maybe that's what Larian is working on? Or even better, an isometric Witcher CRPG like BG3, a man can dream.
