AI Summary
Daewon Media has expanded its TCG Nibel Arena into the Greater China market. Based on Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, the game features deep, strategic card mechanics. An English version is expected later this year following its initial Japanese release.

Daewon Media has exported its trading card game (TCG), Nibel Arena, to the Greater China region. Following its release in Taiwan, Macau, and Hong Kong on the 13th, the game expanded into mainland China on the 16th, effectively covering the entire region.
Nibel Arena is a one-on-one strategic battle card game based on the 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE' IP, developed by the Korean studio Shift Up. The game was developed by TCG and board game specialist Ziemblocompany, with Daewon Media serving as the exclusive distributor.
The game features a strategic deck-building system using unit, item, and skill cards. Players can shift the flow of battle using leader cards with various abilities. It also incorporates a leveling system and mechanics where card size and utility expand based on accumulated damage.

The game is characterized by its reinterpretation of the original title's charming characters and world-building into a TCG format. The international version was first released in Japanese to target the robust TCG enthusiast market in Japan, with an English version scheduled for release in the second half of this year.
A representative from Daewon Media stated, "This export of Nibel Arena to the Greater China region is a significant achievement that proves the competitiveness of Korean TCGs in the global market," adding, "Based on the global recognition and marketability of the original IP, Nibel Arena has great potential to grow into a global TCG."

대원미디어가 트레이딩 카드 게임(TCG) 니벨아레나를 중화권에 수출했다. 니벨아레나는 지난 13일 △대만 △마카오 △홍콩에 이어, 16일 중국 본토까지 수출했으며, 중화권 전역으로 유통 범위를 확대했다.
니벨아레나는 국내 게임 개발사 시프트업의 ‘승리의 여신: 니케’ IP를 기반으로 제작된 1 대 1 전략 대전 카드 게임이다. TCG 및 보드게임 전문 개발사 젬블로 컴퍼니가 개발을 맡았으며, 대원미디어가 독점 총판을 담당하고 있다.
이 게임은 유닛, 아이템, 스킬 카드를 조합해 전략적으로 덱을 구성하고 대결을 펼치는 방식으로, 여러 기능을 지닌 리더 카드를 통해 전투의 흐름을 바꾸는 등 전략성이 강조됐다. 레벨업 시스템과 누적 대미지에 따라 카드의 크기와 효용이 확장되는 룰도 더해졌다.

원작 게임의 매력적인 캐릭터성과 세계관을 TCG 형식으로 재해석한 점도 특징이다. 해외판의 경우 TCG 마니아층이 두터운 일본 시장을 겨냥해 일본어판으로 우선 출시됐으며, 올해 하반기에는 영문판 출시도 예정됐다.
대원미디어 관계자는 “니벨아레나의 이번 중화권 수출은 한국 TCG의 경쟁력이 해외 시장에서도 통할 수 있다는 것을 입증한 의미 있는 성과"라며 “원작 IP의 글로벌 인지도와 시장성을 바탕으로 니벨아레나 역시 글로벌 TCG로 성장할 가능성이 크다”고 말했다.
