Sony Interactive Entertainment announced its partnership with NCSOFT in November 2023. The partnership is focused on “various global business fields, including mobile.” Before the announcement, reports at that time indicated that the two struck a deal to create the Horizon MMORPG.
“This partnership with SIE is the beginning of our efforts to build various synergies together, utilizing both companies’ core competencies, technological capabilities, and expertise,” said Taekjin Kim, President and CEO at NCSOFT, in November 2023. “We will deliver a new and enjoyable experience to our audience across and beyond genres and regions.”
