'''BlockParty''' is an upcoming free social multiplayer game portal, which is serviced by the Los Angeles-based [[Nexon America]], a subsidiary of South Korean [[Nexon Corporation]]. BlockParty will succeed the [http://www.nexon.net current Nexon America game portal] by taking over the portal service of [[MapleStory]], [[Mabinogi (video game)|Mabinogi]], [[Combat Arms (video game)|Combat Arms]], [[Dungeon Fighter Online]], [[Crazy Arcade|PopTag!]] and [[Vindictus]], as well as future [[Nexon America]] games.<ref>http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2009/09/nexon-announces-block-party-for-the-postpenguin-generation.html</ref> |
|||
BlockParty will service a large variety of games from the casual [[Crazy Arcade|PopTag!]], to the hardcore action [[Vindictus]] and the [[first-person shooter]], [[Combat Arms (video game)|Combat Arms]]. Many more online games are scheduled for publishing through BlockParty including Dragon Nest, an action MMORPG scheduled for early 2011.<ref>http://www.1up.com/news/nexon-america-shows-latest-free</ref> |

[[Nexon Corporation]] also runs game portals servicing [[South Korea]], [[Japan]] and [[Europe]] with partners in [[People's Republic of China|China]], [[Taiwan]], [[Thailand]], [[Singapore]], [[Malaysia]], [[Brazil]], [[Vietnam]], [[Russia]], [[Indonesia]] and [[The Philippines]] with over 30 games and 250 million registered users. |
