Nexon announced on August 6 that its IP open license project, 'Nexon Replay,' has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Daegu Digital Innovation Center to promote the local gaming industry.
Under this agreement, Nexon and the Daegu Digital Innovation Center will jointly pursue the 'NEXON REPLAY IP-linked game development support project' as part of the '2026 Daegu Global Game Center Game Content Production Support Project.'
Eligible participants are game developers based in Daegu or those who can relocate within a month. Selected companies will enter into revenue-sharing and confidentiality agreements under the same conditions as Nexon Replay partners and will receive the rights to use one of the IPs from 'Dark Legend' or 'Asgard' along with essential development resources such as images and sounds.
Nexon plans to participate directly in the evaluation process to ensure high-quality new titles are discovered. Through 'Nexon Replay,' the company aims to expand IP collaboration with local game developers, enhancing the competitiveness of the regional gaming industry on the global stage.
'Nexon Replay' is an open license project designed to provide creators with opportunities for secondary creation based on Nexon's diverse IP assets, exploring new possibilities for Nexon IP. Since the beta service launched in December last year, Nexon has been signing contracts with multiple partners based on major IPs such as 'Everplanet,' 'Tactical Commanders,' 'Illyansia,' and 'Dark Legend,' with the goal of showcasing the first results as early as this year, depending on development progress.
Um Jeong-hyun, head of Nexon Live Division, stated, 'Through this collaboration, we hope that capable game companies in the Daegu region can present successful new titles based on Nexon IP. We will continue to build a flexible cooperation structure that allows more local developers to take on new challenges and grow together with Nexon IP.'
