Wemade Max

Wemade Max Co., Ltd. is a South Korean video game developer and publisher whose business covers PC online games and mobile games. The company was established on April 10, 1997, under the name Joymax. Its early identity was closely associated with online games, particularly Silkroad Online, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that became the company’s best-known PC title and helped establish its presence beyond South Korea. In 2010, Joymax was acquired by Wemade, a South Korean game company, and subsequently became part of the broader Wemade corporate group. The company was later renamed Wemade Max, aligning its corporate identity with its parent group. Following the name change, its portfolio continued to include both established online-game properties and mobile titles developed or serviced through the company and related subsidiaries. Notable mobile games associated with the business include MIR4, MIR4 Global, Wind Runner, God of Matgo, Everytown, Restaurant Paradise, Abyssrium, and Cat for You. These titles span role-playing, casual, social, simulation, card, and other mobile-game categories. Wemade Max operates through subsidiaries and affiliated development organizations including LightCON, Wemade Connect, and Wemade Next. The group structure gives the company access to multiple development teams and supports a portfolio approach across genres and platforms. The available reference material describes the company as actively developing more than ten additional mobile game titles, indicating an ongoing strategic emphasis on mobile publishing and development alongside its established PC online-game business. Publicly available information in the supplied materials does not identify a founder, headquarters city, current executives, financial performance, stock ticker, or detailed launch and operating history for individual titles. Accordingly, Wemade Max is best characterized as an active Wemade-group game company with roots in PC online games and a substantial mobile-game development and publishing focus.

Wemade Max was established on April 10, 1997, as Joymax, a South Korean game development company. Its original business centered on the creation and servicing of PC online games, a field that was expanding rapidly in South Korea and other Asian markets during the company’s formative period. The company’s most notable PC online property is Silkroad Online, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that became an important part of Joymax’s identity and international profile. The title represented the company’s early concentration on persistent online worlds and long-term game servicing rather than only one-time software releases. In 2010, Joymax was acquired by Wemade. The transaction brought the company into the Wemade group and changed its corporate context, connecting Joymax with a larger Korean game-business organization. After the acquisition, the company continued operating as a developer and publisher while expanding its attention to mobile games, reflecting the wider industry shift from PC online gaming toward smartphones and tablets. Its mobile portfolio came to include titles such as MIR4, MIR4 Global, Wind Runner, God of Matgo, Everytown, Restaurant Paradise, Abyssrium, and Cat for You. The portfolio covers several categories, including role-playing, casual, social, simulation, and card or board-style experiences. The business was subsequently renamed Wemade Max. The new name connected the company more directly to its parent organization while preserving the operating history built under the Joymax name. Under the Wemade Max identity, the company has continued to develop and service games across PC online and mobile platforms. Its operating structure includes subsidiaries and related development organizations such as LightCON, Wemade Connect, and Wemade Next. These entities support a multi-team approach to game production and enable the group to work across different genres and markets. The supplied reference material describes Wemade Max as currently developing more than ten new mobile game titles. This indicates that mobile development and publishing are central to its present activity, although the available material does not provide the names, release schedules, commercial performance, or geographic rollout plans for those projects. The available sources also do not establish a founder, headquarters city, executive roster, listing information, financial results, or a detailed chronology for each game. Wemade Max is therefore documented here primarily through its confirmed corporate origins, acquisition by Wemade, renaming, notable game portfolio, subsidiaries, and continuing mobile-development program.
