WeMade Co. and Microsoft Corp. are reportedly discussing a strategic partnership to develop games for the latter's Xbox gaming console. Both companies are said to be positively looking into the collaboration that may include the use of the American tech firm's Azure cloud platform and Xbox console.
WeMade, a South Korean video game developer, confirmed the talks with Microsoft on Monday, May 8. It said that they had discussed cooperation in various business areas, including the release of WeMade's game for the console.
According to The Korea Economic Daily, WeMade was the only gaming company in Asia that received KRW20 billion investment from Microsoft in November of last year. It was mentioned that in the six months since the investment was handed over, the companies have been holding meetings for the expansion of their team-up.
WeMade's subsidiary, Warverse, is developing a game tentatively titled "This Means War." WeMade is now negotiating with Microsoft to add this title designed for consoles, mobile, and PC to its game platform.
It was noted that the Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-headquartered video game company is offering its gaming service to around 170 countries using Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform. With the global success of its "Mir4 Global" game, the traffic at the company's Azure account soared.
WeMade's traffic at Azure' remained at a high level and continue to rise after it released another game called "Mir M Global." This was launched earlier this year and is credited for recent ever-increasing traffic worldwide
Moreover, WeMade also released the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "Night Crows" on April 27. This also uses Azure and has been topping gaming charts as well.
This is set to be launched worldwide in the latter half of 2023 via Wemix Play. Finally, Korea's Smart Times reported that WeMade is expected to release "Night Crows" with a blockchain feature.
