MARBLEX Partners with Immutable for Web3 Gaming Expansion in South Korea

Immutable, a leading web3 gaming platform, has announced a new partnership with MARBLEX, Netmarble's dedicated blockchain gaming platform. This collaboration will see the migration of MARBLEX, along with several other Mega IP titles, to the innovative Immutable zkEVM chain, powered by Polygon, and the first chain built specifically for gamers. Hong Jin Pyo, CEO of MARBLEX, commented:

“At MARBLEX, we are dedicated to creating thrilling web3 gaming experiences for players. To maximize the reach of these experiences and ensure scalability for both existing and upcoming titles, partnering with a proven leader in web3 gaming was crucial. That’s why Immutable and their industry-leading zkEVM chain was the right choice. Their technology provides the infrastructure we need to deliver the best possible gaming experiences to our players.”

Only on Immutable zkEVM
Following the migration from the Klaytn Layer 1 chain, all MARBLEX gaming apps, games, and game tokens will operate exclusively on Immutable zkEVM alongside more than 330 titles already building on Immutable. Robbie Ferguson, Co-founder and President of Immutable, commented:

“This is one of the most significant partnerships we’ve made to date. South Korea is an exciting hub of developer activity in web3 gaming, and MARBLEX and NetMarble are pioneers here. We’re thrilled to be helping their goal to scale to tens of millions of players around the world as they migrate to Immutable, the one-stop-shop platform for web3 games.”

Full Migration of Three Netmarble IPs
The partnership includes the migration of the full MARBLEX gaming platform and three live Netmarble titles:

• Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds - An MMORPG based on the original universe of Ni no Kuni, blending real and fantasy worlds with fairytale-like animations and high-quality cutscenes.
• A3: Still Alive - A dark fantasy open-world mobile RPG set in an apocalyptic fantasy world, combining expansive RPG worlds with intense Battle Royale combat.
• Meta World: My City - The sequel to Let's Get Rich, featuring board game mechanics and virtual land and buildings in the metaverse.

Ecosystem Boost Program
In addition, Immutable and MARBLEX have launched the “Ecosystem Boost Program,” offering technical and financial support for developers. With up to $20 million USD earmarked, the program aims to accelerate game development and attract new titles to the Immutable and MARBLEX ecosystems.

Immutable's Major Milestones
With more than 1.8 million monthly average users, Immutable zkEVM remains the preferred choice for developers and gamers alike, offering robust features such as Immutable Passport and the Immutable Global Orderbook. Robbie Ferguson added:

“This deal follows our landmark partnerships with Polygon Labs and 350+ signed games, cementing Immutable’s leadership in web3 gaming and commitment to bringing digital property rights to billions of players worldwide.”
