HCMC – Vietnam’s technology unicorn VNG yesterday, May 19, launched the new office of its game publishing brand in Taipei, Taiwan, with 35 employees.
The inauguration came after the firm had expanded to other cities across Asia, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Shanghai and Beijing.
Kelly Wong, vice president of Game Entertainment, said the talent pool in Taipei is one of the reasons for establishing the Taipei office.
“As a long-term goal, we aim to be the top-tier game publisher in the Taipei market,” said Chu Cheng Yuan, head of the Taipei Studio of VNGGames.
Since June 2021, VNGGames has dispatched a team to the city to explore business opportunities and has also published several games.
VNGGames first entered the market with the launch of Gunny Origin in 2022, which ranked second in the highest-grossing iOS games in Taipei.
The success laid the groundwork for VNGGames to scale up its business in the region and accelerate its plans to establish a permanent presence in Taipei.
VNGGames plans to continue expanding in international markets, such as Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
