Webzen, which had a major revival in 2010, has gained a controlling stake in Ymir Entertainment, the developer of Metin 2. Interestingly, the move is supposedly to gain more momentum in Webzen’s push to enter the European market, with Metin 2 currently hosted by Gameforge in the region and arguably one of the biggest MMO there. In summary, Webzen is pushing for a major expansion into the European market in 2011. You can find Webzen’s global English portal here. Will Metin 2 change publisher to Webzen Europe? Well, there isn’t any official announcement as of now.
