YOOZOO Games further persisted in its film-game crossover strategy recently with the release of The Advisors Alliance mobile game, based on the hit drama of the same name. To effectively publish on a global scale, YOOZOO Games utilizes intelligent techniques such comprehensive personas, customized operations, and automatic optimization of digital marketing to enhance its publishing capabilities. This enabled YOOZOO Games to develop customized localization strategies which effectively exported Junior Three Kingdoms, League of Angels II, and Legacy of Discord-Furious Wings to overseas markets, laying a sound market foundation for future development of globalized products. YOOZOO Games' powerful lineup of IP rights, production ability, intelligent publishing strategy, and continually expanding global publishing advantages has enabled the company to lay an outstanding foundation for bringing the world exceptional IP-adapted products.
