Gamevil plans to take five Korean mobile games to the global stage

Gamevil makes hardcore mobile games for the South Korean market. Now it will test whether five of those games deserve to be on the global market.

The Seoul-based publicly traded mobile game company is announcing today at the Game Developers Conference that it will publish five of its games from the Korean market worldwide in the iOS and Google Play app stores. The move is another sign that gaming has gone global and companies that were once content to be regional players are now trying to break into other markets — and other, massive streams of revenue in the multibillion dollar mobile game industry.
