Today's exclusive developer interview is dedicated to Bellatores, an upcoming PC MMORPG in development at the relatively unknown South Korean studio Nyou.

We published a mobile game that was created by an independent game developer with the intention of preparing for in-house publishing teams in the future. Additionally, we have an internal game development studio that works on lighter online games, including
