Nexon 'FIFA Mobile' Pre-registrations Reach 2 Million... Anticipating a Hit

Official Release on Google Play and Apple App Store on the 10th
Control Active FIFA Players... Realistic Soccer Match

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Nexon's new mobile title, 'FIFA Mobile,' is expected to gain popularity as it surpasses 2 million pre-registrations. Following the success of the MMORPG 'V4' last year, Nexon is targeting the market across various genres such as sports and racing this year with FIFA Mobile, following 'KartRider Rush+.'

According to Nexon on the 9th, more than 2 million gamers applied for pre-registration of FIFA Mobile, which began on the 14th of last month. The pre-registration was conducted only in the domestic market, and it is considered unusual for a sports genre game to exceed 2 million pre-registrations within a month. Featuring Son Heung-min as the promotional model and the ability to enjoy FIFA matches on mobile were key factors attracting gamers' interest. Nexon plans to officially launch FIFA Mobile on the 10th on major application markets such as Google Play and the Apple App Store.

FIFA Mobile allows players to enjoy soccer matches on the go via mobile devices, and users can control players who are actively participating in FIFA, providing a more realistic soccer gaming experience. Through FIFA Mobile, which holds the official FIFA license, gamers can access 36 leagues worldwide, over 650 clubs, and more than 17,000 soccer players. Nexon emphasized, "The license is a crucial element that brings the soccer game closer to a realistic soccer match by applying the actual players' physical conditions, abilities, and profile photos identically in the game, enabling a more immersive play."

Additionally, catering to gamers who prefer offense over defense, the game includes various modes such as 'Attack Mode,' where players can focus solely on attacking in real-time situations like counterattacks and one-on-one scenarios, and 'Simulation League,' where players can select their preferred players and set strategic formations. Kim Yong-dae, head of Nexon's FIFA Publishing Group, stated, "Based on Nexon's live service capabilities, we aim to meet the expectations of many gamers who have been waiting for FIFA Mobile," adding, "We will do our best to provide a high-quality soccer gaming experience on mobile devices."
