Nexon Thailand Makes a Splash in the Online PC Gaming Market, Launching “Tree of Savior” as its First Game in Thailand After opening its latest new office in Thailand last month, Nexon, the No. 1 game developer and service provider in South Korea, launched its first new PC game in Thailand. “Tree of Savior” (TOS) is a world-famous MMORPG and aims to win Thai gamers’ hearts.
Mr. Isra Taulananda, Chief Executive Officer, Nexon (Thailand) Co., Ltd. disclosed that “Tree of Savior” (TOS) was developed in 2011 and first debuted in South Korea at the end of 2015. Later in early 2016, English version services were added on Steam. At the end of that year, service provision was launched in Japan with tremendous popularity. Nexon was granted the rights to provide services for this game in South Korea, Japan and Thailand from IMC Games Co., Ltd., which developed this game and other famous games such as Ragnarok Online and Granado Espada, etc.
“Nexon Thailand places a lot of importance on this game because, in addition to being the first PC game service provided by the company, “Tree of Savior” is also a highly popular PC game in the global arena with attractive graphics, unique, detailed storylines and complete systems. Although some players have been exposed to this game on Steam, we hope to introduce it to other players by presenting a Thai version of the game, adjusting item prices for compatibility with Thai living costs and offering activities with special festivities for Thai players. Nexon is determined to take good care of the in-game society for quality and social acceptance by modifying anti-cheating and bot systems developed by Nexon for use in Thailand”, Mr. Isra said.
Kim Hakkyu, Chief Executive Officer, IMC Games Co., Ltd. the producer and developer of “Tree of Savior”, including other world-famous online games stated when he visited Thailand to launch the game, “I feel glad and honored to be meeting Thai players. My purpose on this trip is to meet Nexon executives in Thailand, launch games and, in particular, meet Thai players. In my opinion, when the gaming business in Southeast Asia is mentioned, I consider Thailand an important and inspiring market. Although Thai players are arriving at this game later than players in South Korea and Japan, Thai players will be playing the complete version that has already been modified and corrected to resolve issues found in other countries. Although gamers currently exhibit a trend toward greater interest in mobile phone games, PCs continue to retain their unique charm, realism, great graphics, beautiful music and fun play as proven by overwhelming reception from our “Tree of Savior” players worldwide. I am certain that Nexon Thailand will provide services for this game at a satisfactory level for Thai players”.
