Nexon is preparing a new PC sports game. An external developer will handle development, while Nexon will manage publishing.
According to reporting on the 30th, Nexon is recruiting staff for this project through internal hiring rather than external recruitment. Nexon's stated goal is to deeply understand the sports genre and build new experiences and culture based on that foundation.
The specific sport has not been confirmed. Nexon's current PC sports offering is the soccer title 'FC Online'. It remains unknown whether Nexon will expand its lineup into another sport.
This structure of external development paired with Nexon publishing is identical to 'FC Online'. 'FC Online' is developed by Electronic Arts (EA), with Nexon handling domestic service. It launched as 'FIFA Online 4' in 2018 and rebranded to its current name in 2023. If a new title in a different sport is released, Nexon's PC sports lineup will expand to two.
