Insights
Gravity secured a crucial ISBN approval for a new Ragnarok game in China, strengthening its position in this lucrative market.
The receipt of an ISBN code from the Chinese government for Ragnarok: Promised Adventure represents a significant regulatory milestone that enables Gravity to officially launch this new MMORPG in China's tightly controlled gaming market. This marks Gravity's second ISBN approval in 2025, following the one received for PROJECT ABYSS in January.
The strategic importance of this approval cannot be overstated. China implements strict regulations on game publishing, with ISBN codes being mandatory prerequisites for legal game distribution. The Chinese gaming market is notoriously difficult to enter due to these regulatory hurdles, making each ISBN approval a valuable business achievement.
This development aligns with Gravity's broader China strategy, which has already shown promising results. Their HTML5 game Ragnarok: Dawn launched on WeChat in February 2025 achieved the eighth position in top-grossing Mini Programs - a notable success given WeChat's massive user base as China's largest mobile messenger platform.
The company is effectively leveraging its Ragnarok IP (intellectual property) across multiple game formats tailored to Chinese preferences. Ragnarok: Promised Adventure features elements that align well with current Chinese gaming trends, including idle rewards and multiple character training systems. The collaboration with local Chinese developer Kingnet Network demonstrates Gravity's pragmatic approach to navigating this complex market.
This ISBN approval positions Gravity to potentially expand its revenue streams in the world's largest gaming market, building on momentum from their existing successful titles in the region.
