Nexuss is expanding its global lineup with seven games from Q4 2026 through Q1 2027. The company's strategy combines MMORPGs inheriting original PC titles with collection-focused and tag-action titles, linked to ONE Store's distribution infrastructure and user engagement services. By securing games for its proprietary distribution platform, ONE Store, Nexuss aims to strengthen the content foundation of its platform business.
The rollout begins with Repor Games' 'Astellia 2', which launched global services on the 5th. Continuing the world of the PC MMORPG 'Astellia', the game is playable on both mobile and PC. It combines co-op and competitive play into adventures alongside companion 'Astells'. Key content includes 'Subjugation Battles', where players join forces to defeat bosses, and team-based 'Conquest Battles'.
'Darkeden R' preserves the core premise of the original title—the conflict between humans and vampires. Players grow as 'Slayers' or 'Vampires' on race-specific servers before engaging in cross-server faction battles in a unified world.
Also featured in the lineup are 'Rappelz M', a title based on the 'Tree of Savior' IP, and 'Metin: Prelude to Doom'. Each game offers distinct characteristics, such as flexible progression, large-scale battles, fairy-tale art styles with action, and classic MMORPG worldbuilding.
Titles emphasizing collection and action are also included. 'The Guardians', globally published by Valofe, combines the enjoyment of collecting and nurturing companion 'Guardians' with action combat. Super Flux's 'Ascalio' features tag-action combat where players switch characters mid-battle to chain skills together. Rather than just collecting characters, players navigate combat through team composition and control.
Releases will follow 'Astellia 2' in November with 'The Guardians' and 'Ascalio'. In December, 'Darkeden R', 'Rappelz M', and the title based on the 'Tree of Savior' IP will be released, while 'Metin: Prelude to Doom' is scheduled for release in January 2027.
Nexuss plans to distribute each game through ONE Store and integrate them with the ONE platform. User and creator participation will be supported by ONEquest and ONEwave. ONEquest is a participatory promotion offering rewards for campaign missions such as pre-registration verification, daily check-ins, and achieving in-game growth goals. ONEwave is a streamer platform that rewards creators for uploading game overviews, guides, and gameplay videos based on campaign evaluation criteria. It also runs mission-based campaigns where creators submit Shorts and TikTok videos for review.
Hyun-guk Jang, CEO of Nexuss, stated, "The most important criterion for innovation is growth. We will accelerate growth by increasing business efficiency and execution speed through AI transformation (AX) and a platform rendered even more complete by the joining of ONEstore." He added, "We will evolve into an all-in-one entertainment platform connecting games and story content, building a virtuous cycle where user benefits translate into developer revenue and growth to achieve even greater results."
Meanwhile, Nexuss is conducting a platform business centered on ONE Store that combines AI and blockchain technology with game distribution and payments. In August, it launched 'ONE Store Global' across 122 countries and has been expanding its service scope in phases. The company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Dubai Media Council, a Dubai government agency, to foster the gaming industry and collaborate on global business. Under the agreement, Nexuss will leverage ONE Store's global distribution network and publishing network to assist Dubai-based developers in expanding overseas, while also collaborating on nurturing game studios and talent.
The company also opened a channel for developers creating games with AI. At the end of September, ONE Store opened its dedicated AI game hub—originally introduced in August—to all developers. Developers can register AI-created games through ONEconsole and integrate web game SDKs to monetize through in-app purchases and advertisements.
On the 3rd, ONE Store also launched a short-form drama service and a game item trading service named 'ONEitem' in Korea. The short-form drama service aims to build Korea's largest content library and is pursuing service integration with ONE story. ONEitem facilitates user-to-user transactions and shares a portion of trading fees with game developers. It plans to expand services globally and to iOS within November.
