KRONSON will not shy any effort to support them. Not only enrich our development capacities, but we also share the goal of creating unique experiences for a global audience.

It was clearly clear how very unknown Worlds and Krafton Inc. is similar in the way we think about games and game development. Subnautica and PubG have both started small and developed successfully through constant iteration and feedback, says Charlie Cleveland, CEO of Unknown Worlds. We want to bring new games to the international stage - and with Krafton we came closer to a big step closer. We are very happy about our common future.
