Nexon announced on the 18th that it has launched the beta website for 'REPLAY,' a project that opens its proprietary IP to external creators to support secondary creation, and is now accepting applications.

REPLAY is an open licensing project designed to provide opportunities for secondary creation based on Nexon's IP assets and to explore new possibilities for its IP.

Moving beyond the structure of exclusive contracts with a small number of partners, the project aims to build a collaborative ecosystem where anyone can create games and content using Nexon's IP.

For the beta launch, Nexon is opening five titles: Legend of Darkness, Ellancia, Asgard, Tactical Commanders, and EverPlanet. To enable diverse attempts without restrictions on genre or format, the company is providing core resources such as graphics and sound, and has simplified the contract and review process.

Anyone, whether an individual or a team, can apply to participate in the REPLAY beta. Selected project partners will receive IP usage rights, access to IP guidelines, and support from dedicated Nexon personnel.

Eom Jung-hyun, Deputy Head of the Live Division at Nexon, stated, "Project REPLAY is a meaningful first step in expanding the potential of Nexon's IP together with external creators," adding, "We will build a flexible collaborative structure where more developers can experience new challenges using Nexon's IP and grow alongside us."

Further details can be found on the official REPLAY website.
