VALOFE announced on the 8th that they are currently developing 'Last Origin 2 (working title)', a sequel to their flagship subculture IP, 'Last Origin'.

Last Origin 2 represents the company's first major internal development project based on their own IP. This isn't just about simple content expansion; it is a strategic shift to bolster their development capabilities and diversify their business model. They are aiming to fire up a new production pipeline and establish a sustainable growth model anchored firmly in their own IP.

The sequel will inherit the world-building of the original, though it is pushing the setting from Earth to the vastness of space to ensure the series has room for long-term development. They are aiming for a more polished experience, with improvements in narrative depth, content scale, and character design compared to the predecessor.

VALOFE is pursuing a two-pronged strategy: expanding their service footprint with the recent 'Last Origin R+' global launch, while simultaneously deepening the IP’s value through the development of Last Origin 2 to extend the product lifecycle and diversify revenue streams.

Since last year, VALOFE has been in discussions with major Japanese platform holders regarding investment terms, service structures, and overall strategy for the sequel. They are also conducting a multifaceted review of a solo service launch in Japan, ensuring that content delivery and development direction align with the specific tastes of the local audience.

VALOFE CEO Jae-myung Shin noted, "Last Origin 2 is not just another sequel; it is a symbolic milestone as it marks our first proper foray into new development. We intend to harness our accumulated IP expertise and technical know-how to nurture this into a core title that will drive our mid-to-long-term growth."
