[Featured Stock] Wemade Rises on Success of New Game Launch

Wemade is showing strong performance in early trading. It is interpreted that the stock price has been pushed up as Wemade's ambitious game achieved the number one spot in Google Play sales rankings.

As of 9:20 AM on the 26th, Wemade is trading at 42,200 KRW, up 9.61% (3,700 KRW) from the previous session.

Wemade, which recorded its highest performance last year, succeeded in gaining popularity with its massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) 'Legend of Mir,' which ranked first in both Google Play sales and popularity rankings within five days of its release. The management team's prompt response to bugs and server errors, as well as user feedback, are also cited as reasons for its success.

Legend of Mir is a game based on Unreal Engine 5 with a Norse mythology background, available on both PC and mobile platforms. A global version is planned for release in the future.

Wemade achieved record-high sales last year, recording 712 billion KRW, an increase of about 17% compared to the previous year. Operating profit also turned positive for the first time in three years, reaching 8.1 billion KRW.
