East and West are meeting again.

South Korea’s big mobile game publisher Netmarble Games said it is launching a fantasy role-playing game Evilbane in the worldwide markets later this year. It’s one more example of an Asian game company expanding to the worldwide stage as it pursues a chunk of the $30 billion mobile games market. The title is known in South Korea as Raven, where it has been No. 1 in the rankings. It will launch under the Evilbane name later this year on Android and iOS.
