The Commemorative "2N Alliance", Showcasing AION 2 on the New RTX Spark-Powered Laptops, 

Symbolizes the Two Companies’ Decades of Technological Collaboration

SEOUL, Korea (June 8, 2026) – NC Co-CEO Taekjin Kim and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang held a surprise meeting with Korean gamers at a “PC Bang” (i.e. a Gaming Café) to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the two companies’ global partnership. The venue carries symbolic significance for both companies, as PC Bangs played a pivotal role and served as an important foundation for their respective businesses. 

At the event, Kim and Huang introduced the next-generation RTX Spark superchip for Windows and actively engaged with players by gifting them GeForce RTX GPUs and laptops equipped with RTX Spark. Using the RTX Spark-powered laptops, they also showcased gameplay footage of NC's latest title, AION 2, and its upcoming title, CINDER CITY, drawing an enthusiastic response from players.

NC and NVIDIA have maintained a strategic relationship spanning both technology and content development since the early 2000s, beginning with the development of the Lineage series. The two companies have continued to build on their longstanding collaboration through joint participation in major global events, including Gamescom, G-STAR, and the GeForce Gamer Festival.  

"I am delighted to meet gamers here alongside Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, with whom we have collaborated for more than 20 years since the early 2000s." said NC Co-CEO Taekjin Kim. "We will continue our collaboration with NVIDIA on developing NC's new titles and advancing AI research." 

At Gamescom last year, NVIDIA unveiled CINDER CITY as an RTX flagship title, spotlighting the open-world tactical shooter’s integration of NVIDIA’s latest RTX technologies. NC also strengthened its position as a key partner by participating as the sole game demonstration partner at the GeForce Gamer Festival. 

Looking ahead, the two companies are expected to expand their collaboration into next-generation technology areas, including Physical AI. Through their collaboration in real-time simulation, sophisticated physics-based computing, and AI-driven interaction technologies, they plan to accelerate innovation in gameplay experiences.
