Hottest Korean games to play while unwinding over long holiday
A few days' break to start the month of May will help you recharge with a refreshed mind and body. And while you're unwinding, here are some of the hottest Korean games to enjoy in your downtime. Mabinogi: Mobile Since its debut in late March, Nexon's Mabinogi: Mobile has become a sensation, drawing nearly 400,000 daily active users in its first week and establishing itself as the most-played mobile MMORPG in Korea within just one day. One of the game's standout features is its ability to cater to different moods — players can dive into intense monster battles and dungeons for an adrenaline rush or opt for a more relaxing experience, tending to sheep, fishing or cooking. Whether you're looking to upgrade weapons, embark on hunting expeditions or simply enjoy the game's peaceful moments, Mabinogi offers a versatile gaming experience that adapts to your mood. The pristine graphics and active player base elevate the overall immersion, while the game's easy-to-navigate mechanics ensure stress-free gameplay. The game is available for free on tablets, Windows and mobile devices. Cookie Run: Kingdom A fan favorite among Korean mobile games, Cookie Run: Kingdom combines adorable characters with competitive gameplay. Players can nurture and train an army of diverse cookies, each with unique abilities, to battle through challenging quests and defeat bosses. What may initially seem like a lighthearted, cute game soon proves to be a fierce competition that taps into your inner strategist. The game's rich storytelling weaves in themes of love, friendship and loss, offering both lighthearted and poignant moments together with high-quality animation. Whether you're building a team of cookie warriors or exploring the emotional depth of its narrative, Cookie Run: Kingdom offers a balance of diverse gaming experiences. The game is free to download on phones, tablets, Windows and Mac. Lies of P A critically acclaimed dark fantasy RPG, Lies of P invites players to follow the journey of a doll on a mission to find its creator. With intense violence and mature themes, this game is only suitable for players over 19. A tentpole project by Neowiz, Lies of P features a narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The game also features a high degree of weapon customization, ensuring each player's experience is unique. In particular, the restrained yet powerful design of dolls' movements and the eerie atmosphere created by the enemies have received critical praise. A dark and thrilling experience for those looking for a high-stakes RPG, the game is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Mac and Xbox.

Akamai Supports Devsisters in Strengthening Its Global Game Services Infrastructure
Akamai's cloud infrastructure contributes to improving the satisfaction of users of the CookieRun game around the world SEOUL, South Korea, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies, Inc., the cybersecurity and cloud company that powers and protects businesses online, announced today that Devsisters Inc., the developer of the globally popular CookieRun series, has adopted Akamai Cloud to strengthen its global game services infrastructure. The adoption of Akamai Cloud is a decision by Devsisters to ensure stable service operations amid its rapid global market expansion. Devsisters is adding new items, stages, and features; improving its system; and hosting events for its games CookieRun: Kingdom and CookieRun: OvenBreak to improve user satisfaction while increasing the influx of new users. Thanks to these efforts, Devsisters' CookieRun series is rapidly expanding its user base around the world. Key features Global performance improvements: Compared with conventional public clouds, Akamai Cloud features a more distributed edge and a wider range of points of presence, which enable the infrastructure to automatically scale up and down to deliver the same game experience to users around the world, even when traffic is concentrated in certain regions. Cost optimization: When there are periods of peak user traffic, the system automatically allocates more server resources. In off-peak periods, it scales them back, preventing unnecessary operational costs. Scalability: During new game launches, large-scale updates, or other events when hundreds of thousands to millions of users connect simultaneously, the system detects traffic surges in real time and automatically allocates the necessary resources, minimizing server downtime and service delays. Devsisters expects that the adoption of Akamai Cloud will enable the swift deployment and scaling of new game launches, large-scale updates, and events so that users around the world can enjoy the same game experience anytime, anywhere. "In mobile gaming, latency is a critical factor in determining the quality of service that users experience," said KJ Lee, Regional Vice President and Managing Director of Akamai Korea. "With Akamai Cloud, a global gaming company like Devsisters can grow their global user base in a stable manner by providing services that are closer to users wherever they access the game in the world," he added.
