Key takeaways
- FGT participant registration for Korea open until November 15
- Focus group test scheduled for December in Korea
- TALESWEAVER MOBILE developed by NEXON Korea; based on TalesWeaver IP
Nexon today announced TALESWEAVER MOBILE and opened registration for a Korea-only focus group test, accepting participants through November 15 ahead of a December FGT. The game is built on the TalesWeaver IP and is being developed by NEXON Korea Corporation, with the company publishing the recruitment notice and related footage on Nexon Korea’s official YouTube channel.
NEXON Korea is handling development and positions TALESWEAVER MOBILE as an MMORPG that carries over the original’s world, distinctive characters, and visual style. The studio says the title targets mobile play with simplified controls and faster-paced combat designed for the platform. Nexon’s announcement includes a video showing in-game scenes that the company says strongly echo the original TalesWeaver atmosphere; the clip is available in Korean on Nexon Korea’s YouTube channel.
The original TalesWeaver launched in 2003 as an online RPG based on Jeong Min-hee’s fantasy novel Children of the Rune. Nexon’s release reminds readers that the original earned long-term player loyalty through story-led progression, lyrical graphics and soundtrack, and a combo-driven combat system, and that it has been active for more than 20 years as one of Nexon’s flagship IPs. The publisher also notes corporate information: Nexon Co., Ltd., founded in 1994 and headquartered in Tokyo, is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (code 3659) and operates over 40 titles across more than 190 countries on PC, console and mobile, including MapleStory, Mabinogi and Dungeon Fighter Online.
Why it matters
Nexon says the December focus group test will evaluate game content and aim to raise quality ahead of further steps. The developer is recruiting Korean participants until November 15, and has posted a recruitment video and additional details on its sites—Nexon’s Japanese corporate homepage and Nexon Korea’s YouTube channel are cited in the announcement. The company also states that its 2024 IP growth strategy includes both vertical growth through new experiences within major franchises and horizontal expansion to build new pillars in its IP portfolio.
