'MIMESIS', an AI-based horror game developed by ReLU Games, a creative studio under Krafton, has surpassed 2 million units in global cumulative sales. Following the achievement of 1 million units sold just 50 days into its Early Access period, the game has maintained its momentum, largely bolstered by a significant update rolled out last month. Krafton is now set to leverage this success, aiming to cultivate the title into a major franchise.

MIMESIS is a four-player co-op horror game that utilizes AI technology, featuring an AI-based monster that mimics players' voices and movements in real-time to infiltrate the group and create tension. The game maintains a 'Very Positive' user rating on Steam, and the major update last month refined the AI's decision-making and behavioral logic while recalibrating the game's difficulty.

Furthermore, at the CEDEC (Computer Entertainment Developers Conference) Awards 2026, hosted by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) in Japan last month, the game became the first Korean title to receive an Excellence Award in the Game Design category, gaining recognition for its quality.

Minjung Kim, CEO of ReLU Games, stated, "This milestone is thanks to the players who believed in the game's potential and showed their support," adding, "It demonstrates that AI has moved beyond a tool to assist development and has entered a stage where it creates the fun of the game itself." Kim further noted, "Based on our accumulated technical expertise and planning capabilities, we will continue our bold challenges in merging AI with gaming and accelerate the long-term success of MIMESIS."
