Epic Games Korea opens to work closely with local devs

Epic Games has opened a new subsidiary in Seoul, Korea, with plans to provide licensing services and support resources to development teams using its Unreal Engine. Epic Games Korea will be led by Ray Park, formerly the business and strategy development manager for Microsoft’s in-game advertising company, Massive, Inc . While Epic Games has provided its Unreal Engine to teams in the territory for over five years, Park states the opening of a Korean subsidiary signifies Epic’s “desire to collaborate more closely with the [local] game development community.” Jay Wilbur, Epic Games’ vice president of business development, noted Epic Games Korea would serve as “a hub for Unreal Engine access, knowledge and support in the Korean marketplace.” Rumors of developer Silicon Knights moving to Korea in search of the support it claims to have never received from Epic Games could not be confirmed … because we made it up for the sake of a bad joke.
