Global game publishing platform company Valofe (CEO Shin Jae-myung) announced on the 8th that it has officially begun development on 'Last Origin 2' (tentative title), a sequel based on its flagship subculture IP, 'Last Origin.'

'Last Origin 2' marks Valofe's first new development project based on its existing IP. This initiative goes beyond simple content expansion; it signifies the activation of a new development pipeline aimed at broadening the company's overall development capabilities and business structure, while establishing a sustainable, IP-centered growth model.

The new title is designed to inherit the worldview of its predecessor while expanding the setting from Earth to space, enabling long-term series development. Valofe aims to achieve a higher level of polish than the original in every aspect, including story depth, content scale, and character design.

This project is significant as the starting point for expanding the 'Last Origin' IP into a multi-project franchise. Through the recently announced global service 'Last Origin R+,' Valofe is expanding its service reach while simultaneously pursuing IP longevity and revenue diversification through the development of this sequel.

Industry observers believe 'Last Origin 2' will serve as a symbolic title that proves Valofe's new development capabilities. It is reported that even at this early stage of development, the project has already received multiple proposals for investment, co-development, and publishing collaborations, underscoring the commercial viability of the IP.

Furthermore, Valofe has been in discussions with major Japanese platform operators since last year regarding investment terms and service strategies. The company is conducting a multifaceted review, particularly concerning exclusive service in the Japanese market and development directions that reflect local user preferences.

Valofe CEO Shin Jae-myung emphasized, ""Last Origin 2" is our first project to mark our full-scale entry into new development, making it a highly symbolic title for us internally. We will concentrate our accumulated IP competitiveness and development know-how to cultivate it into a core content piece that will drive our mid-to-long-term growth."
