In a groundbreaking collaboration, Kakao Games (CEO: Jo Gye-hyun) is partnering with tech giants Samsung Electronics and Google to amplify the gaming experience for their latest MMORPG, Ares: Rise Of Guardians (hereinafter referred to as “Ares”). This synergy, combining expertise in devices, operating systems, and content creation, aims to revolutionize the Android gaming landscape.

Optimizing ‘Ares’ for Samsung’s flagship smartphones, gamers can now relish an unparalleled high-performance mode. This enhancement not only diminishes memory usage in-game but also ensures smoother and more stable frames, a leap from the conventional graphics API ‘OpenGLES.’

In a move to escalate performance, Google has integrated adaptive performance for ‘Ares.’ This ensures consistent frame rates, especially on notable models like the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Commenting on this collaboration, Lee Hyung-won, General Manager of Google Play Game Partnership in Korea, expressed, “The union of Ares with Android and Google Play promises a deeper, more immersive gaming experience for foldable device aficionados. This alignment resonates profoundly with me.”

Echoing the sentiment, Jung Hye-soon, Director at Samsung Electronics, shared, “Together with Google and Kakao Games, we’re elated to elevate the gaming experience for Galaxy smartphone users.”

Highlighting the significance of this tri-party tech collaboration, Lee Si-woo, Chief Business Officer of Kakao Games, remarked, “The innovative spirit of these three corporations has propelled ‘Ares’ to unparalleled convenience and enjoyment on diverse mobile platforms.” He further emphasized, “This alignment mirrors Kakao Games’ vision of seamlessly integrating gaming into everyday life.”

Nestled in Pangyo Techno Valley, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Kakao Games unveiled ‘Ares: Rise Of Guardians’ boasting distinctive features, from its captivating universe to visually stunning graphics and action sequences. Testament to its immense appeal, ‘Ares’ swiftly clinched the apex spot on the Google Play Store’s popularity chart and secured the second position in revenue rankings upon its debut.
