Joyport Browser Game Licensed to Korea and Japan

Sina Games, 9/16/09

Hangzhou-based Chinese browser game developer and operator Joyport's self-developed browser game, Kingory, will soon debut in Korea and Japan, having already been licensed to a Korean game operator and a well-known Japanese gaming company.

Joyport first launched Kingory domestically in 2008, and the tactical browser game now has 40 mln total registered users, 70,000 peak concurrent users and over 1,000 servers. The game was exported to Malaysia and Taiwan at the end of 2008. Joyport has also released a new game, Shards.

Editor's Note: Hangzhou Joyport Co., formerly known by the name of its wholly-owned game studio PlayTown, previously operated the browser game platform Wangye173.com, which was shut down by China's Ministry of Culture in February 2009.
