Nexon
has
established
Dave
the
Diver
developer
Mintrocket
as
a
new
wholly
owned
subsidiary
corporation.
Nexon
says
the
decision
will
expand
the
Mintrocket
“brand
and
reputation
for
rapid
development
of
highly
innovative
games.”
Mintrocket’s
Jaeho
Hwang
has
been
nominated
as
its
first
CEO.
The
company
says
the
new
structure
will
“reflect
Mintrocket’s
fresh
approach
to
developing
highly-engaging
small-scale
games
for
global
audiences”
and
complement
Nexon’s
“established
expertise”
in
large-scale
games.
Mintrocket’s
debut
title,
Dave
the
Diver,
surpassed
four
million
cumulative
sales,
securing
a
BAFTA
Award
and
an
“overwhelmingly
positive”
rating
on
Steam.
