It has been confirmed that Vespa, the developer of 'King's Raid', has advised all employees to resign.
As a result of this is game coverage, it was confirmed that on June 30, Vespa unilaterally notified about 100 employees of the recommended resignation. Vespa CEO Kim Jin-soo stated that "failure to attract investment" was the reason for the recommended resignation, and also notified the delay in the payment of salaries and severance pay. All Vespa employees only worked until June 30, and it is known that only a part of the company will be left to help clean up in the future.
As a result, Vespa's current mobile games 'King's Raid' and 'Time Defenders' as well as 'King's Raid 2', which was being developed as a sequel, fell into fog.
Vespa is a mid-sized game developer listed on the KOSDAQ in 2018 due to the success of the mobile RPG 'King's Raid', which was introduced in 2017. 'King's Raid' once ranked 5th in the domestic Google Play sales rankings, and continued its success as it entered countries around the world, including Japan, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
However, the game lost its box office momentum as the service continued for a long time. To make matters worse, Vespa also suffered from delays in the development of its next work and sluggish box office performance. The company released a new original IP titled 'Time Defenders' in Japan in August of 2021 and Korea in April of this year, but the market response was cold. Here, 'King's Raid 2', the sequel to 'King's Raid', is in the dark due to development delays.
In the end, Vespa fell into a state of capital erosion due to long-term operating losses, and since February of this year, it was in a state of suspension. Awake! has contacted the Vespa Management Support Office to confirm future plans, but has not received a response.
