Leading South Korean game publisher Neowiz is making waves in the world of blockchain gaming, as it announces its foray into the burgeoning Web3 gaming space through its division, IntellaX. Neowiz, a top-five game company in South Korea by market value, is set to join forces with the Web3 game education project, Avalanche Arcad3.

The partnership marks a significant step for Neowiz, known for its 25-year track record of popular titles like “Cats & Soup” and the highly anticipated “Lies of P,” a souls-like game inspired by Pinocchio, expected to be a top seller in 2023, with Q2 2023 revenue already reaching $51 million.

The collaboration between Neowiz and Avalanche Arcad3 will be officially sealed at Avalanche House Seoul 2023, a one-day conference within Korea Blockchain Week.

This strategic alliance comes amid the network’s rising momentum in Asia, particularly in South Korea and the gaming sector. Neowiz becomes the fourth top-100 gaming company by market cap to align with Avalanche, joining East Asian giants like Alibaba, Tencent, and GREE.

A recent Xangle research report highlights that nearly 70% of the top 100 gaming companies are based in Asia, with Korean companies leading the charge in blockchain game development.
