Joycity announced on the 29th that it has signed a domestic publishing deal for 'Project Imjin', a new MMORPG developed by RedZingo Games. Under this arrangement, Joycity will handle the domestic service and marketing, while RedZingo Games focuses on strengthening its development capabilities. Both parties aim to leverage this clear division of labor to boost service quality and maximize synergy.

'Project Imjin' is a massive war MMORPG spearheaded by director Kim Tae-gon. Kim is a veteran well-known for his history-based strategy titles such as 'Imjin-rok', 'The Great Merchant', and 'Goonzu Online'. Set against the backdrop of the Imjin War, the game includes content for collecting and nurturing 36 historical commanders from the three nations of Joseon, Japan, and Ming, and features a layered combat experience including naval battles and sieges utilizing authentic period weaponry.

Joycity has extensive experience successfully servicing war simulation titles such as 'Gunship Battle: Total Warfare' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War'. Based on this know-how, Joycity plans to ensure 'Project Imjin' successfully establishes itself in the domestic war MMORPG market.

Meanwhile, 'Project Imjin' is recruiting participants for its 2nd alpha test via the RedZingo Games official website until the 9th of next month. This test is designed to incorporate feedback from the first test held in November to check the game's completion and new content. The 2nd alpha test will run from the 10th to the 17th of next month, with the official launch scheduled for the first half of 2026 on mobile and PC platforms.
