Com2uS Announces Summoners War MMORPG

Summoners War isn't what I'd consider a "prime candidate" for the MMORPG treatment, but its developer, Com2uS, seems to disagree with me there, as it announced today that it will be making a mobile MMORPG based on the franchise. The company's goal in creating the MMORPG is "to further expand the unique IP power of 'Summoners War,' which is recognized as the best RPG in the world market."

Furthermore, Com2uS is working to "diversify [its] business" globally and, in going with that goal, it has "established an 'IP Strategy Room'" that will be used exclusively for global IPs and licensing professionals.

Having established the IP Strategy Room, Com2uS intends to strengthen its brand in throughout the world, but primarily in North America for now, through the use of Summoners War. Summoners War cartoons, animation, fiction, film, and merchandising are all planned.
