KLab Inc., a leading mobile game developer, has announced the resumption of development for a new mobile online game based on the popular JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure animation series. The project was initially announced in 2020 but was halted due to circumstances surrounding the previous development partner. With the new partnership with Wanda Cinemas Games, the game is set to be released worldwide, excluding Japan, in 2026.

KLab aims to generate revenue through its "Overseas Game Development Support Model," which involves obtaining licenses for games from Japanese IP holders who want to generate revenue overseas. The company plans to expand its business by leveraging its relationships with IP holders and overseas publishers.
