“Too many times, publishers from Asian markets import and localize popular titles to the western market but falter at captivating players,” says Jina Song, Chief Operating Officer of CJ Games Global. “Our recipe for success is to create and publish games that will appeal to an International audience. Monarch and Hounds were carefully hand selected to do so. Our goal is to expand the local success of CJ E&M Game Division to the global market.”

CJ Games Global is the global interactive entertainment branch of CJ E&M, one of the largest media conglomerates in South Korea. The brand established itself in North America, opening its doors in Los Angeles in April 2012.
