Wemade Max said on Monday it made a strategic investment in South Korean indie game publisher Redbrickhouse and set up a cooperation framework to discover promising developers and secure new intellectual property. It said the move aims to broaden partnerships with creative studios as indie games with distinctive gameplay become more competitive globally. Redbrickhouse was founded by former Neowiz specialists and supports development, global services and IP expansion.

Wemade Max said its development direction and plans for key projects will not change despite a change in Wemade\'s largest shareholder. CEO Son Myeon-seok told employees that while the shift in governance is significant, the company’s role will remain and become more important within the group. He said stable operation of existing games and development of major new titles are proceeding as planned, citing the firm’s accumulated development and service capabilities.
