Com2uS Zeus: God of Pride MMORPG release and reception

Overview

Com2uS is preparing for the release of its new MMORPG, ‘Zeus: God of Pride’, developed by Averton. The game is built on Unreal Engine 5 and is set in a world based on Greek mythology. Initial interest in the title was high, with character name reservation rounds closing early due to demand. Ahead of the launch, Com2uS hosted a ‘D-7 Developer Live’ broadcast on YouTube to facilitate a real-time Q&A with users. Following these promotional efforts, the company commenced pre-downloads for both PC and mobile platforms. Following its August 26 release, the title—also referred to as ‘Zeus: God of Arrogance’—reached the top of the revenue charts on both major South Korean app stores within 18 hours. Despite this rapid commercial success, the game’s monetization model has faced scrutiny from the player community. Reports have highlighted a heavy grind, a focus on PvP, and pay-to-win elements. Additionally, some players noted in-game notifications suggesting that daily free chat messages are limited, potentially requiring the use of in-game currency to continue communicating. To celebrate the launch, Com2uS has initiated a large-scale billing discount promotion in partnership with South Korea’s three major mobile carriers: SKT, KT, and LG U+. Running until September 15, the promotion offers various discount tiers for users based on their spending levels. Expanding its marketing efforts, Com2uS has entered into new collaborations with convenience store chain Emart24 and bio-health firm HK inno.N to integrate the game into daily consumer goods. Through Emart24, the company is releasing five themed food products under a ‘Jeyuk-sseu’ concept, which includes coupons for in-game items such as ‘e24 coins’ and rare summon boxes. The partnership with HK inno.N involves the hangover relief brand ‘Condition’ and the barley tea brand ‘Saessak Bori’, offering limited edition packs and ‘Lucky Bori’ coupons that provide various in-game rewards.
