The online game industry, is gaining strength in both exports and domestic sales. Korean-made online games are regaining popularity in the Chinese market and advancing into the North American and European markets aggressively. NC Soft is again attacking the domestic online market with the launch of the commercial service of "City of Hiro" on March 22. If the "City of Hiro," which already became a million-seller in the North American and European markets, sweeps the domestic online game market, it will bolster its position as a top global online game. NC Soft is expected to record $100 million in its exports to the North American and European markets. Following the public service of "Zera" in March, NEXON is offering public service of "Kart Rider" to the Chinese market these days. In particular, the Kart Rider, which launched the public service in China on March 17, exceeded the 120,000 mark in the number of simultaneous connectors in just two days after the launch, showing signs of hitting the jackpot. Korea's three major games, including "Audition" of E-Motion and "Free Style" of JC Entertainment, are now dominating the Chinese online game market. In the meantime, Korea's small and medium-sized game makers are also enjoying favorable results in their exports of online games. For instance, Hanvit Soft exported its online game "Granado Espada" to 11 countries and earned $20 million in the exports. WEBZEN also exported its online game "SUN," to China, which will begin public service in May this year, for $12 million, the biggest export amount for a single game.
