South Korea Founded 2000 Website

Since its creation in 2000, Netmarble has been a frontrunner in the gaming industry. Striving to embody innovation, it became the first company in the industry to embrace the publication of online games. After its official shift to mobile in 2012, Netmarble solidified its position as the number one mobile gaming company in Korea with the success of popular titles Everyone's Marble, Seven Knights, Marvel Future Fight, and Lineage 2: Revolution. Netmarble, ever evolving, is now ready to take its place on the international stage and bring its innovative titles to players worldwide.
