Nexus said on the 12th that it will target the global game market by investing in a Chinese developer in the strategy simulation game (SLG) genre.
Nexus decided on a strategic investment in the Hong Kong-based game developer Quantum Virtual Realm Limited through a board meeting on the 11th.
The developer is currently working on a new title based on the strategy simulation game (SLG) genre and plans to launch it first in early 2027 through a local Chinese publisher.
The project's core members are developers from major Chinese game companies. One of the key developers served as director on the strategy simulation game (SLG) "Infinite Borders," which is known to have posted cumulative revenue of about 3 trillion won or more.
China is considered one of the world's largest game markets. According to the 2025 China game industry report released by the China Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association (CADPA), China's game market revenue reached about 350.7 billion yuan, up 7.68% from the previous year. The number of users was tallied at about 683 million.
In particular, strategy simulation games (SLG) such as "Last War: Survival" and "Whiteout Survival" are regarded as the genre driving Chinese games' performance in overseas markets. Among the top 100 Chinese games by overseas revenue, strategy simulation games (SLG) accounted for the largest share at 49.96%.
Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Nexus, said, "By investing in a developer of the mainstream strategy simulation game (SLG) genre, we have secured competitiveness to target the global game market," and added, "We plan to provide active support to ensure high-quality game development."
