NCSoft CEO Taekjin Kim and SIE CEO Jim Ryan of SIE shared their excitement at the partnership in the announcement’s press release. Both statements hinted at possible PlayStation experiences that could push the boundaries of the gaming industry.

“This partnership with SIE is the beginning of our efforts to build various synergies together, utilizing both companies’ core competencies, technological capabilities, and expertise,” said Kim. “We will deliver a new and enjoyable experience to our audience across and beyond genres and regions.”

“Partnering with NCSOFT advances our strategy to expand beyond console and broaden PlayStation’s reach to a wider audience,” said Ryan. “Like SIE, NCSOFT shares a similar vision in creating high-quality, impactful entertainment experiences for players everywhere, and together we’re excited to collaborate to push the boundaries of gaming further.”

A partnership between these two companies are bound to create new gaming titles. Despite not being officially confirmed, the words of both CEO’s can give fans a general exciting look into both companies futures together.

Both NCSoft and PlayStation currently have projects in development, so if any serious gaming project between the two companies were to happen, it likely wouldn’t see the light of day in the near future.
