(3659.TO) (“Nexon”), a global leader in online games, today announced that its consolidated subsidiary, NEXON Korea Corporation (“Nexon Korea”) has acquired the global publishing rights (excluding Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) for SINoALICE, a smartphone game app jointly developed by Pokelabo, Inc. (“Pokelabo”) and CO., LTD.

This title is scheduled for global launch in 2019.

【What is SINoALICE?】 SINoALICE is a mobile game app that immediately took the No.1 spot in the Japan App Store ranking after its Japanese launch in June 2017. It has over four million cumulative users. The game is a dark fantasy RPG for which Yoko Taro, creator for the NieR and franchises, has reinterpreted the characters that appear in various eastern and western fairytales through his unique worldview and sensibility as the writer/creative director. Main fairytale characters such as Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Snow White advance their battles in a magical world, sometimes forming alliances and sometimes fighting with other characters, to revive the authors who created their stories.
