==History==
−
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">On April 5, 2012, Nexon and Valve announced a partnership to develop [[Counter-Strike Online 2]], which is to be based on an enhanced Source engine and will offer enhanced graphics, powerful impact physics, and more new features. It has not been confirmed if it will have any connection to [[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]].</span>
  
   
  +
Nexon Co. Ltd. was established in Korea on December 1994 where it published its first title, Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds, in 1996. Many title releases followed such as Dark Ages: Online Roleplaying, Elemental Saga, QuizQuiz, KartRider, Elancia, and Shattered Galaxy; some of which are maintained by a company spun off of Nexon, Kru Interactive. In 2003, Nexon developed MapleStory in Korea, which later became its most successful title. The game was localized in many locations such as Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, North America, Europe, Brazil and Vietnam.
−
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">Although Counter-Strike Online 2 is going to be released, it does not mean that NEXON would stop adding new content to Counter-Strike Online. (NEXON will still continue to add more content to Counter-Strike Online).</span>
  
   
  +
Originally founded in Korea, Nexon Co. Ltd. is currently based in Japan. Nexon Co. Ltd. has four corporations running; they are located in Korea, Japan, United States, and Europe.
−
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">Also, Counter-Strike Online 2 would NOT be replacing Counter-Strike Online, although Counter-Strike Online 2 is the sequel to Counter-Strike Online, they would still be two separate and different games.</span>
  
  +
  +
Nexon currently has eleven subsidiaries: Nexon Networks, Nexon Mobile, NeoPle, Nextoric, Nexonova, GameHi, NDoors, CoPersons, Nclipse, ExcGames, and Xeogen.
  +
  +
Nexon went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on December 13, 2011 in an initial public offering, the largest in Japan for 2011 and the second largest by a technological company for 2011 worldwide.
