It would appear that Nexon is keen on smooshing together some of its studios in the interests of “organically integrating the know-how and resources of each development corporation through the restructuring of its affiliates” according to a press release. I’m not entirely sure what the heck that means, but it does mean that Nexon has bought all of the shares of its standalone studio Nexon Red and merged that with its subsidiary developer Boolean Games.
Boolean Games, for the record, is the development studio behind the mobile action RPG Darkness Rises, while Nexon Red is chiefly responsible for titles like the mobile MMORPG Alliance vs. Empire.
It’s unclear what this new merger of studios means for the future of either game, but the reference to integrating both teams together certainly seems to suggest they’ll be working in concert in some fashion. And hey, at least none of them got sold for a dollar.
