History

Nexon Co. Ltd. was established in Korea on December 1994 where it published its first title, Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds, in 1996.[3][4] Many title releases followed such as Dark Ages: Online Roleplaying, Elemental Saga, QuizQuiz, KartRider, Elancia, and Shattered Galaxy;[5] some of which are maintained by a company spun off of Nexon, Kru Interactive.[6] In 2003, Nexon developed MapleStory in Korea, which later became its most successful title.[5] The game was localized in many countries such as Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, North America, Europe, Brazil, and Vietnam.[7]

Originally founded in Korea, Nexon Co. Ltd. is currently based in Japan.[1] Nexon Co. Ltd. has four corporations running; they are located in Korea,[8] Japan,[9] United States,[10] and Europe.[11]

Nexon currently has eleven subsidiaries: Nexon Networks,[12] Nexon Mobile,[13] NeoPle,[14] Nextoric,[15] Nexonova,[16] GameHi,[17] NDoors,[18] CoPersons,[19] Nclipse,[20] ExcGames,[21] and Xeogen.[22]

Nexon is planning an initial public offering in November 2011 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange to raise US $1.2 billion.[23]
