Wemade Max undertakes complete overhaul of development system... responding to changes in global environment

Wemade Max is restructuring its development operations to respond to changes in the global gaming market and strengthen its competitive game development capabilities.

The company announced on the 12th that it is building a next-generation game development environment, including expanded adoption of artificial intelligence-based development and work systems.

"Mir 5" is reorganizing its development structure to enhance project quality by focusing on core development capabilities while evolving the long-accumulated Mir IP to suit the global market environment and strengthen competitiveness.

The new title "Project T" is also realigning its development capabilities to review development strategy and enhance project competitiveness.

Global PC and console projects are continuously expanding development and operations personnel to strengthen competitiveness. "Midnight Walkers," currently available on Steam, is maintaining service stability and advancing content through new hires while communicating with global users.

The company plans to expand development staff, particularly for new projects including triple-A title "Project TAL," mobile MMORPG "Night Crows 2" (working title), and subculture genre title "MO TF," all considered highly anticipated global releases.

This reorganization aims to simultaneously improve project competitiveness and development efficiency through strategic reallocation of development personnel while strengthening game development capabilities for global market success. Wemade Max has adopted various generative AI tools company-wide since last year, applying them to game development research and internal operations.

"As the global gaming market environment rapidly changes, game quality and development efficiency are becoming critical competitive factors," said Son Myeon-seok, CEO of Wemade Max. "We will review our development strategy and concentrate capabilities on core projects to deliver competitive games in the global market."
