NEXONTOWN, now available in South Korea, is a metaverse platform that currently houses opened halls, camping sites, classrooms and conference halls, where users interact with each other using items and characters from Nexon’s online games in the virtual world, Tencent Cloud said in a statement.

“We look forward to reaping more benefits from Tencent Cloud’s one stop solution, which makes NEXONTOWN’s virtual halls, classrooms and conference sites more engaging, interactive and realistic,” he said.


Tencent Cloud also gives game publishers all over the world the access to its interactive media and communication services in addition to TRTC, including game multimedia engine (GME), stream services, instant messaging, and media processing services, among many other features, which help game publishers establish a comprehensive service platform for cross-product communication, interaction and transactions for players of different games.
