Umamusume, a mobile game released in Japan on the 24th, is gaining popularity so that not a few people enjoy the game in Korea. Therefore, the availability of domestic services emerged as the biggest concern, and in the meantime, the news of the domestic launch of Umamusume attracted attention.
According to the industry on the 4th, Cygames and Kakao Games are known to be in negotiations with Umamusume’s domestic service. The two companies made a relationship through Princess Connect: Re:Dive!, which was released in Korea in 2019, and signed a contract for World Flipper service in October last year. Accordingly, the public predicted that Kakao Games is likely to proceed with Umamusume’s domestic publishing based on the cooperative relationship between the two companies.
However, Kakao Games and Cygames are in the position that there is currently no content that can be answered in relation to domestic services. In a phone call with Game Mecca, a Kakao Games official said, “It is true that we and CyGames have been collaborating well so far.” Cygames Korea also expressed the position that it is difficult to confirm that it is a contract issue.
