NC, which has been leading the game industry with active R & D investment, is showing overwhelming technology in the field of crossplay. NC's Purple, which has surpassed the limits of the platform, is leading the 'Always On' paradigm, which is seamlessly enjoying the game anytime, anywhere.
Platforms such as PCs, mobile, and consoles have been considered the most basic units of the game. Each platform has clear advantages and disadvantages. Mobile devices, which are now the most common platform, have the advantage of being able to play the game with their bodies, but it is difficult to multi-tasking with telephone, text, and video viewing, and there is also a limit to the lack of battery and small screen. PCs and consoles are also limited to play only in places where devices are installed. Naturally, users' demands for cross play, which can be played on a variety of platforms, have increased.
NC did not miss the needs of these users. Purple, which has been in service since 2019, enables game play between mobile and PCs. In particular, Streaming Play Purple ON, which was introduced for the first time in Korea, was highly regarded by users in that it can play high-end games such as Lineage 2M and Lineage W on low specifications. Purple Talk, which allows all purple users to chat without installing a separate app or program, also has a foothold for the game.
There is also a new service that can enjoy the game more fun. The Purple Live feature was introduced to Bulso 2. Users can share their play with other users with video chat types. You can visually show the play status, and you can easily check and watch other users' in-gameplay even if you don't access the game.
The strength of this purple is expected to be a strong support for NC Global. This is because services that can play with PCs and mobile seamlessly can act as factors that can overcome the poor network environment and mobile device performance compared to Korea.
This is proved through Lineage W, which is being serviced in 12 countries around the world. According to NC, Lineage W has recorded 1.2 million users. It is explained that the data analysts that estimate the number of users based on the mobile app market are hundreds of times different from the expected results of the data analysis company. Many users disprove that they are enjoying Lineage W through Purple.
In the first siege in April, more than 80,000 of them fought fiercely. In particular, the proportion of global participants is 58%, proving that it is possible to play without the constraints of the border and platform.
NC's ultimate direction with Purple is the True Cross Play Platform. In addition to the current 'Mobile-PC' platform, the console is expected to be completed. NC plans to enter the console in earnest from 'TL (Throne and Liberty)'. Global users' attention is focused on NC's game ecosystem, which can be enjoyed without new IP and platform boundaries.
