Lungtu Korea Selected as 'One Store Good Partner 2020'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Longtu Korea announced on the 4th that it has been selected for the ‘ONESTORE GOOD PARTNER 2020’ award given by the mobile app market One Store for titles such as the mobile MMORPG ‘Tanseong: Byeoreul Samkin Ja (hereinafter Tanseong)’ released last year.

The ‘ONESTORE GOOD PARTNER 2020’ selected by One Store is an award given to game companies that shone throughout 2020 as partners in the game industry. One Store selected Longtu Korea, which released a total of three new titles including ‘Tanseong’ last year, as a game company that shone in 2020.

A company official said, "We are honored to be selected for the ‘ONESTORE GOOD PARTNER 2020’ award in recognition of the achievement of successfully launching all three new games, including ‘Tanseong,’ which received great expectations from users with over 500,000 pre-registrations before release."

According to the ‘2020 Korea Game White Paper’ published last month by the Korea Creative Content Agency, the domestic game market size last year was expected to reach 17 trillion won, an increase of 9.2% compared to the previous year. In particular, the growth of mobile games was remarkable, and as domestic game companies have recently been releasing games that reinterpret existing PC games for mobile, the mobile game market is expected to continue expanding.

A company official stated, "Last year, in addition to existing main IPs such as the representative game ‘Yeolhyeol Gangho,’ the performance of three new games contributed to gradual growth in results," adding, "This year, we aim to achieve the highest annual performance through the release of five new titles mainly based on famous IPs such as ‘Bless Eternal.’"
