"We're thrilled that these two industry titans believe in Project Loki. Like us, we know that both Nexon and NetEase appreciate deeply engaging, community-focused games, as we've already seen with their own titles like MapleStory (Nexon) and Naraka: Bladepoint (NetEase). We couldn't ask for better partners to bring Project Loki to gamers in Asia."
