Neowiz (Korean: 네오위즈) is a South Korean video game developer and publisher. Its parent company Neowiz Holdings was founded in 1997 and it is best known for the DJMax Series and Lies of P.
History
[edit]Neowiz (now Neowiz Holdings) was founded in 1997 and started off as an internet content provider. As this wasn't profitable, Neowiz launched OneClick, a service allowing users to connect to the internet with one click, in 1998. Although the product initially experienced considerable success, demand for OneClick began to diminish in 2000, due to the spread of high-speed broadband internet access.[2] Neowiz thus launched SayClub, an online community site with real-time communication.[3] The company got listed on KOSDAQ in 2000.[4]
In August 2003, Neowiz launched the video game platform pmang. When CEO Sung Kyun Na came back to Neowiz after completing his military service in March 2005, he reorganized the company to focus on video games. In April 2006, Neowiz Japan, a new Japanese subsidiary, was opened and launched a game portal named Gamechu. In the same year, Neowiz also acquired the rhythm game developer Pentavision. In April 2007, Neowiz was converted into a holding company, was renamed to Neowiz Holdings and was segmented into three entities: Neowiz Games Corporation, Neowiz Internet Corporation and Neowiz Invest Corporation. In July 2007, Neowiz Games Corporation was listed on KOSDAQ.[3] In the same year, it acquired the Japanese video game developer GameOn.[5] In 2017, Neowiz Games Corporation was renamed to Neowiz.[6][7]
Around 2015, Neowiz started developing and publishing for home consoles and Steam, but their main focus in the late 2010s and early 2020s was on smartphone games: It acquired multiple developers of smartphone games[5][8] and also launched their own games on the mobile platforms.[5] With the development of Lies of Pi, which started around 2020,[9] Neowiz started to shift their focus to console and PC titles and as of 2024, more than 80% of their games are for those platforms.[5]
