AI Summary
KRAFTON has expanded to 19 studios by hiring 15 new leaders. They aim to nurture small-scale projects into major global franchise IPs. Currently, 26 titles are in the pipeline, with 12 launching within two years.

KRAFTON is expanding its creative studios to a total of 19. As part of its mid-to-long-term strategy established last year, the company has been increasing investment in in-house production, focusing on new title development and talent acquisition. Over the past year, it has recruited 15 key production leaders to spearhead the establishment of new studios.
Creative studios established last year or slated for launch this year include 9B STUDIO, OmniCraft Labs, Loonshot Games, and Olivetree Games. The studios are led by Kim Sung-hun (9B STUDIO), Noh Jung-hwan (OmniCraft Labs), Bae Hyung-wook (Loonshot Games), and Lee Chang-myung (Olivetree Games), respectively.
KRAFTON plans to drive new title development by operating small-scale development teams led by production veterans with proven track records. These new titles will be tested in markets with clear core fanbases, and projects that demonstrate success will be scaled up into franchise IPs.
Meanwhile, KRAFTON currently manages a pipeline of 26 new projects and aims to release 12 titles over the next two years.

크래프톤이 크리에이티브 스튜디오를 총 19개로 확대한다. 크래프톤은 지난해 중장기 전략으로 대규모 프랜차이즈 확보를 통해 신작 개발과 인재 확보를 중심으로 자체 제작에 대한 투자를 확대해 왔다. 지난 1년간 주요 제작 리더십 15명을 영입하며 신규 스튜디오 설립을 진행했다.
지난해 설립됐거나 올해 신설 예정인 크리에이티브 스튜디오로는 나인비스튜디오(9B STUDIO), 옴니크래프트 랩스(OmniCraft Labs), 룬샷게임즈(Loonshot Games), 올리브트리 게임즈(Olivetree Games) 등이 있다. 각 스튜디오 대표로는 김성훈 대표(나인비스튜디오), 노정환 대표(옴니크래프트 랩스), 배형욱 대표(룬샷게임즈), 이창명 대표(올리브트리 게임즈)가 선임됐다.
크래프톤은 흥행작 개발 경험을 보유한 신규 제작 리더십을 중심으로 소규모 조직 단위의 개발팀을 운영하며 신작 개발을 추진한다. 신작은 핵심 팬층이 분명한 시장을 출발점으로 검증되며, 성과가 확인된 프로젝트는 단계적으로 확장해 프랜차이즈 IP로 육성할 계획이다.
한편, 크래프톤은 현재 총 26개의 신작 파이프라인을 운영하고 있으며, 향후 2년간 12개 작품 출시를 목표로 하고 있다.
