KakaoGames plans to pursue a turnaround with a two-track strategy of rolling out 7 new games from this year through next year while continuing to operate its existing live-service titles. Its new lineup aims to move beyond a mobile-focused structure by expanding to PC and console platforms and increasing its focus on global markets. The company also plans to sustain launch momentum on the back of stable revenue from live games and regular updates.

An international research team has completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever made, built from five years of observations tracking tens of millions of galaxies. The map, created through the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) project, contains data on more than 47 million galaxies and quasars, exceeding its initial target. Researchers also observed more than 20 million nearby stars to study the Milky Way, and plan further observations to refine results on dark energy.
