History
Com2uS Corporation was founded in 1998 by Korea University students Jiyoung Park, Youngil Lee, and Yu Jin (Gin) Hyeon, who developed games for mobile devices.
On September 10, 2008, the mobile game division of Disney (Disney Interactive) made a deal with Com2uS in which the latter would develop games for the former to publish and distribute in the United States. Disney Puzzle Family was the first game developed under the agreement, which was released later that month. The next title with Disney Interactive, Disney Game Parade, was released the following year.[4]
On October 4, 2013, Gamevil acquired 21.37% of Com2us for $65 million.[2]
In January 2020, Com2uS teamed up with Skybound Entertainment, a U.S. entertainment company, to create a mobile game based on The Walking Dead series.[5]
