NEXUS announced on the 12th that it has made a strategic investment in Quantum Virtual Realm Limited, a Hong Kong-based developer specializing in strategy simulation games (SLG). Having approved the investment during a board meeting on the 11th, NEXUS is laying the groundwork for global market expansion and strengthening its competitiveness in the strategy genre.

Quantum Virtual Realm is currently developing a new title based on the strategy simulation genre. It is scheduled to be released first in China through a local publisher in early 2027, and the core development team consists of veterans from major Chinese game companies. Notably, the production team includes a director from the project that created 'Infinite Borders', a title that has recorded over 3 trillion KRW in cumulative revenue and is considered one of the most successful examples of the SLG genre in China. Through this investment, NEXUS aims to secure SLG development capabilities and strengthen its competitiveness in the global market.

Meanwhile, the Chinese game market is currently considered one of the largest in the world. According to the '2025 China Game Industry Report' published by the China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association (CADPA), the Chinese game market reached approximately 350.7 billion yuan (approx. 73 trillion KRW), a 7.68% increase from the previous year, with the number of game users reaching 683 million. SLGs, represented by titles such as 'Last War: Survival' and 'Whiteout Survival', are considered a key genre driving the success of Chinese games in overseas markets.

Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of NEXUS, stated, "By investing in a developer of the popular SLG genre, we have secured the competitiveness needed to target the global game market," adding, "We plan to provide active support to ensure the development of a high-quality game."
