Nexon Refutes IGN Report on New MMORPG

According to IGN, Nexon is not developing a Game of Thrones massively multiplayer online role-playing game, despite a report to the contrary yesterday.

IGN understands that Redanian Intelligence’s original report refers to a Netmarble game that has already been announced. Nexon “does not have anything in development based on Game of Thrones,” a company spokesperson said.

IGN has also reached out to Netmarble for comment on the details from the original story below, which relates to the Game of Thrones MMORPG unveiling in January 2022

IGN reported a story earlier stating that Nexon was involved in a new Game of Thrones development. The original article stated clearly that the details were confirmed.

”Game of Thrones is reportedly the basis of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game set from The Finals publisher Nexon.

Sources told Redanian Intelligence that the game will at least partially be set in the North with locations such as Winterfell and The Wall both featured. It will reportedly take place around Seasons 4 and 5 of the hit HBO show when Roose Bolton is Warden of the North and Jon Snow and Sam Tarley are still posted at The Wall.”

However, in a surprising press release, Nexon denied any such projects. Nexon “does not currently have anything in development based on Game of Thrones,”

A few years ago Nexon created one such project and released it with a game teaser. IGN’s initial report mentioned the event.

”The details in the original story below are still accurate to that game, simply titled Game of Thrones MMORPG, which was announced in January 2022 with a brief teaser trailer. IGN has also asked Netmarble for comment.”

Nonetheless, a company at the IGN level should double-check the details. it is a good sign to see it adjust the details of the original story. Nexon is reporting a new upcoming game which we will report later today.
