MAJOR9 Expands Gaming Horizons
MAJOR9, a prominent player in the gaming industry, has made a strategic move to bolster its operations by acquiring the intellectual property (IP) and the development team for the mobile strategy RPG, OUTERPLANE, from VAGAMES. This decision is part of a collaborative effort that dates back to last year when both companies entered a global publishing agreement for OUTERPLANE.
Solidifying a Partnership
The acquisition is not merely an M&A transaction. Instead, it represents a transfer of the OUTERPLANE IP and its dedicated development team to MAJOR9 while allowing VAGAMES to continue as an independent game development company. This strategic maneuver aims to integrate MAJOR9's extensive global business insights with VAGAMES' proficient development capabilities. By doing so, both entities hope to enhance user engagement and overall satisfaction, which has already shown promising results through their collaboration.
Impressive Growth
Since the transition of service management, MAJOR9 has successfully executed an impressive 3rd anniversary update for OUTERPLANE, which sparked significant interest in the game. Notably, the title surpassed 300,000 pre-registrations, achieved the top position on the Google Play charts in South Korea and Taiwan, and ranked high within the Japanese market. This success speaks volumes about the growing global appeal of OUTERPLANE.
Future Aspirations
With the IP and development team now under its umbrella, MAJOR9 plans to leverage its experience in service operations to further strengthen its gaming division. The company will focus on not only enhancing its existing offerings through the unique subculture and character development that OUTERPLANE possesses but will also pursue new projects and ventures in the global market.
MAJOR9 is poised to continue its collaboration with VAGAMES, channeling their combined strengths into creating innovative services and exploring further developments in content creation. This move is a clear indication of MAJOR9’s commitment to establishing itself as a dominant force in the gaming industry.
Next Steps
This acquisition will serve as a catalyst for MAJOR9’s ongoing strategy for service management and continuous content development. Additionally, the company aims to tackle new projects and fortify its position in the ever-competitive global market. The enhancement in content IP business will also be a part of their strategic focus moving forward.
