Leading South Korean mobile-first game developer 4:33 Creative Lab, that has amassed 250 million+ downloads across their games globally, today announces the launch of Delabs, a new web3-focused venture that will focus on developing and publishing blockchain-native games in the Polygon ecosystem.
“By building on Polygon, Delabs is poised to make significant strides in advancing the web3 gaming industry, providing numerous benefits and opportunities for the sector as a whole,” said Joonmo Kwon, gaming veteran, Chairman of 4:33 Creative Lab and CEO of Delabs. “Delabs’ mission is to shake up the decentralized space with its refreshing emphasis on fostering a sense of community and enjoyment, propelling the industry towards the next generation of gaming — Game 3.0.”
To achieve these goals, Delabs has teamed up with Polygon Labs, the web3 development company behind the leading Ethereum Layer-2 scaling protocol, Polygon. As a flagship partner, Delabs will be able to leverage Polygon’s lightning-fast and cost-efficient transactions combined with Ethereum’s robust security and decentralization to seamlessly onboard millions of new players.
Urvit Goel, Vice President, Head of Global Business Development at Polygon Labs, said: "We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the talented team at Delabs, with the aim of elevating the standards of web3 gaming. By leveraging the cutting-edge technology of Polygon, Delabs is poised to attract and engage millions of new players and cultivate a thriving community that can relish secure, seamless, and immersive gaming experiences.."
Led by Joonmo Kwon (aka JMK) — a prominent South Korean businessman and former CEO of gaming giant Nexon with six top-rated blockbuster games under his belt — Delabs will concentrate on innovation, superb user experience, and blockchain-native features to reimagine the future of decentralized gaming.
A gaming industry veteran, Kwon was one of the first to recognize the potential of free-to-play mobile gaming under his purview as CEO at Nexon, where he oversaw the launch of the vastly popular game Crazyracing Kartrider. KartRider accumulated over 300 million downloads and became renowned for attracting more than a third of the Korean population.
Kwon’s previous record-breaking games include Romance of Three Kingdoms (#1 in all telecom stores for a year, 30 million downloads), Kart Rider (over 300 million downloads), Bow Master (#2 grossing game, 10 million battles per day), Blade (#1 on Play Store and App Store Korea, $100+ million in revenue), Heroes (#1 on Play Store and AppStore Korea, $100+ million in revenue), and Boxing Star (#1 boxing game for four years, $100+ million in revenue).
Leveraging Kwon’s unique talent for predicting big shifts in the gaming industry and his track record of successfully launching groundbreaking titles, Delabs is committed to creating fun, engaging, and inclusive games for all players, tapping into the full power of blockchain at the same time.
Delabs currently has three games under development — a racing game, an RPG survival game, and an anime-style character collection game. Delabs have assigned dedicated genre-specific specialists to develop each project, ensuring fans a compelling and familiar experience.
