Nexon, a worldwide leader in online games, today announced its Korean subsidiary, Nexon Korea Corporation, has entered into a game development and publishing agreement with Electronic Arts (“EA”) to bring a PC online version of the critically-acclaimed, first-person shooter game, Titanfall, originally developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA, to players in Asia.
Respawn Entertainment – which was co-founded by Vince Zampella, one of the co-creators of the multi-billion dollar franchise Call of Duty and co-founders of its development studio, Infinity Ward – is an independent video game development studio located in Los Angeles, California.
“With its pilot vs. titan gameplay, among other innovations, Titanfall is a uniquely intense game experience. We look forward to working with the talented teams at Respawn and EA and leveraging Nexon’s free-to-play expertise to deliver a new and engaging online game based on Titanfall to the Asian market,” said Owen Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nexon.
