Kong Studios plans to ramp up development for its next triple A (AAA) title.

Kong Studios released its first game ‘Dungeon Link’, a mobile puzzle RPG, in 2015 and released the second game titled ‘Guardian Tales’, a mobile adventure RPG in 2020. Guardian Tales is a highly polished game, featuring a well-written story line, and various characters expressed with detailed pixel-art graphics. Guardian Tales made its global grand launch in U.S, Europe, Korea and 230 other nations at the end of July 2020. In 2021, the game also began its services in China and Japan.

After its release, the game received continuous praise from global users. Guardian Tales achieved $216M USD in sales and a total of 25M downloads only after a year of release. In August 2021, Kong Studios closed a $62M USD Series B financing round and instantly became a ‘unicorn’ status company valued at $1B USD.

Within 2 days of launch, Guardian Tales became the most downloaded game for 2 consecutive weeks in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for the free-to-download category.

Kong Studios is planning to use its steady growth as a base to expand HQ’s role. It plans to expand its IP (Intellectual Property) and related businesses in various areas. Unlike the 2D graphics based games it previously released, Kong Studios is planning to focus on developing a 3D open world sandbox game for the next title. Staff from Kong Studios stated: “HQ’s move to Santa Monica is a significant start for Kong Studios Inc. It signifies growth of our company into one capable of developing a triple A (AAA) title. We are planning to actively hire professionals continuously to focus on developing our future title. Anyone prepared to develop a truly special game is always welcome.”

Meanwhile, Kong Studios will start the collaboration event with the famous Japanese Anime, ‘Slayers NEXT’ in Japan for 4 weeks in May. The collaboration event was previously held in February for the global and Korean markets.

KONG CI

US-based game developer Kong Studios has succeeded in raising series B investment of 62M USD. Kong Studios has earned a ‘unicorn’ status through this round, with valuation held at 1B USD.

Guardian Tales, a mobile adventure RPG game developed by Kong Studios, is well-polished and has a solid storyline with charming graphics. Since its global grand launch in North America, Korea and Europe in late July 2020, Guardian Tales has provided game services that have received exceptional reviews from global users. It successfully entered the Chinese market in April of this year and has reached 216M USD in accumulated global revenue and 25 million accumulated downloads, showing a steady and solid growth.

Guardian Tales Title Image

NV, USA - Guardian Tales, a mobile game developed by US-based game developer Kong Studios, is ready to enter the Japanese market.

Kong Studios is starting to provide Guardian Tales services via self-publishing through its subsidiary Kong Studios Japan. This is Kong Studios' first attempt to self-publish Guardian Tales. This is meaningful as Kong Studios can gain stable sales in Japan, a major IP country and the largest market in Asia excluding China, and seek out many different business opportunities such as IP expansion and related businesses.

To ensure high-quality localization, Kong Studios made some changes to the illustrations, reflecting Japanese users' tastes, and cast famous Japanese voice actors and actresses to enhance the story experience and make the game more complete. Furthermore, a high-quality translation into Japanese can help users get more immersed in the game.

Kong Studios has entered into a partnership with global game company Yostar to ensure smooth service operation in Japan and is now fully set up to provide successful service. The company is planning to manage various game operations jointly with Yostar, including local marketing, CS, and events for users. Kong Studios takes its first step into self-publishing by running a closed beta test (CBT) from August 24th to 31st.

"We've made a lot of preparations for the Guardian Tales services to be launched in Japan via Kong Studios' self-publishing," said an official from Kong Studios. "We are sure this game will be popular in Japan, too, like it has consistently been in Korea and other countries and regions such as North America and China."

Since its grand opening in July of last year, Kong Studios' Guardian Tales has made the following achievements based on its solid storyline, charming graphics, and level of overall polish.

● 10 million downloads and more than $100M USD in accumulated revenue (as of late February 2021)

● $5.53M USD in sales on the first day of its release in China when released through Bilibili in April 2021 under the title 'The Journey of the Princess and Guardian Knight of Kanterbury: Waking Up the Champion's Sword.'

US based game developer Kong Studios announced that its mobile game Guardian Tales has surpassed $100M USD accumulated revenue & 10 million downloads just within 7 months of the official global (excluding China and Japan) release in late July 2020.

Based on this popularity and anticipation, Guardian Tales succeeded in pulling in these exceptional numbers within a short period of time.

Guardian Tales continued this momentum in China, earning $5.53M USD on the first day of release. Upon receiving a license number issued to foreign games in China in February of this year, Kong Studios released Guardian Tales through BiliBili on April 27, 2021, under the title: ‘The Journey of the Princess and Guardian Knight of Kanterbury: Waking Up the Champion’s Sword.

The charts (for iOS) ranked Guardian Tales as #3 in revenue, and #1 for free downloads, a very promising indicator in the Chinese market.

Kong Studios is planning to release the commercial mobile version of Guardian Tales in Japan, as well as the global release of the Nintendo Switch version, in the second half of this year. For Japan, Kong Studios will be self-publishing Guardian Tales, a first for the company. Game development, localization, and operation will all be done in-house.

Guardian Tales, released globally in July 2020, is a mobile fantasy game revolving around the adventures of guardians to save the kingdom. It has a huge following due to retro style dot-graphics, immersive & absorbing storyline, quirky humor, and engaging gameplay.

LOS ANGELES, CA – APRIL 21, 2015 – Link your way to victory in Dungeon Link, a new puzzle game available on App Store and Google Play today. Developed by KONG STUDIOS in San Jose, CA, Dungeon Link combines RPG features like battles, teams, and a story with block-connecting puzzles for an original puzzle RPG.

Dungeon Link takes place in the whimsical world of Kanterbury, where the Demon King has caused disorder and chaos – and it is now up to a team of heroes to journey through dungeons, solve the mystery, and restore peace. Throughout the game, players can recruit and summon over 200 heroes to create a party of five with diverse attacking and healing abilities. Using all team members, players will link color-coded blocks to strike their enemies and clear each stage.

Players can participate in boss raids and daily dungeons, challenge others to PvP games, and chat with friends in the game. They can also complete daily quests and long-term achievements to receive additional rewards.

Won Sok and Jee Lee, co-founders of KONG STUDIOS, met in 2008 as graduate students at the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Five years later, they created their studio and began the development of Dungeon Link. Published by GAMEVIL USA, Dungeon Link is KONG STUDIOS' first title to be released on App Store and Google Play.
