Epic Games Korea opens doors

6 Comments

Epic Games is today celebrating the launch of its Korean subsidiary in Seoul. Don't expect any Gears RTS games to spawn from the outfit though; Epic says its dedicated to "support resources to game developers in Korea".

Epic Games Korea is headed up by former Xbox and Sony Computer Entertainment man, Ray Park, who acts as territory manager at the company.

"We deeply value our customers, and we are committed to providing Korean game developers with outstanding technology and tools," said Park. "The opening of Epic Games Korea signifies Epic's desire to collaborate more closely with the Korean game development community, as we view our licensees' successes as our own."

Epic Games' Jay Wilbur, VP of business development, said: "Epic has been providing Unreal Engine technology to the Korean market for over five years, with the simple goal of helping our customers make better games.

"We are now expanding our commitment to the Korean game industry by opening a local subsidiary, hosting a third of our global licensing resources, to serve as a hub for Unreal Engine access, knowledge and support in the Korean marketplace."
