Different strategies in same genre put second-half MMORPG launches in focus

Netmarble, Kakao Games, Com2uS and Smilegate plan to launch new massively multiplayer online role-playing games in the second half. Their four titles aim to address structural constraints in the genre through different approaches, including handing operating authority to users, directly inheriting a proven intellectual property, differentiating myth-based worldbuilding and reducing the burden of logging in. With launches clustered in the same period, the market will test which approach works in live service.
