South Korea’s Netmarble finally brings its near-$1B mobile gaming business to the U.S.

Netmarble Games has grown to nearly $1 billion in sales, but it hasn’t been well known as a game publisher in the West. That changed in the past year as the Seoul-based company invested $130 million into casual game publisher SGN and launched the mobile role-playing game Marvel: Future Fight.

Today, Netmarble is adding a fan superhero, Totally Awesome Hulk, also known as Amadeus Cho, to the lineup of Marvel: Future Fight, which has nearly 70 playable characters from Marvel’s superhero universe. This may not matter much to you or me, but the fans of this game around the world may very well get excited about this announcement.
