It is reported that the Chinese tech giant is exploring the possibility of acquiring the Korean game developers and distributors, Necon. According to Bloomberg, the Queen's representative had contacted the Kim Jong-woo family, the founder of Necon, to discuss potential transactions, but no specific terms had been reached and the deal was not rigid.
Nexon is well known for its Adventure Island series, a large multi-person online role-playing game (MMORPG) that was first popular as a traditional PC game in the early 2000s. With the rise of the Web3 game, this ability to give players the ability to own assets in the game could create an entirely new class of assets and bring in billions of dollars of capital.
In May 2025, the company consolidated block chain technology in its two different series of works, Adventure Island N and Adventure Island Cosmic, allowing users to collect items and rewards in the form of non-homogenized coins (NFTs). In addition, Adventure Island further demonstrated its position in the area of block chain games by re-activating the Avalanche network and breaking the record of over 1 million transactions per day twice a week.
Although interest in the Web3 game has increased initially since the end of 2024, due to the technical threshold for the establishment of block chain wallets And traditional game players' repulsion to a combination of games and money strategies, such as playing while making money, has led to a 10 per cent decline in Web3 games. However, high-quality games such as Adventure Island and Off The Grid reflect a shift in industry towards a focus on player experience.
