- Wemade moved the remaining KRW 828.0 billion payment to December 30, 2026.

- The consortium is set to hold 40.25 percent after the transaction closes.
Wemade (ISIN KR7112040001) delayed the KRW 828.0 billion remaining payment for its planned control transfer to December 30, 2026. Asiae reported on October 14, 2026 that the company moved the payment and largest-shareholder change because contractual closing conditions had been delayed.
Three dates define the deal
On June 30, 2026, Wemade founder Park Kwanho agreed to sell 39.33 percent, or 13.35 million shares, to NeoPulse for KRW 920.0 billion, according to The Korea Herald. On October 14, 2026, the remaining KRW 828.0 billion payment moved from October 30 to December 30. On October 20, 2026, WEMADE announced a Legend of YMIR anniversary update with a 600 percent experience boost and more than 100,000 preregistrations.
What does the deal mean?
The transaction would give the NeoPulse and Kingnet consortium a 40.25 percent stake, making it Wemade's largest shareholder after completion. The Korea Herald said the closing depends on conditions linked to the transaction, while the company said the schedule could change as those conditions are met.
Game expansion adds a counterweight
The operating story is moving in parallel. In the PR Newswire release dated October 20, 2026, WEMADE said the update added a new Assassin class, Boot Camp Season 2 and rewards running through December. The same release said more than 100,000 players preregistered, creating a measurable audience signal for the title as ownership uncertainty remains the central corporate issue.
Dates investors can track
The next stated transaction date is December 30, 2026, the revised payment and largest-shareholder change date. WEMADE also scheduled Mythical-grade companions and a 14-day check-in event for December 2026.
Deal timing sets the investor test
The December 30, 2026 date now matters more than the original October timetable because it links the KRW 828.0 billion balance, the 40.25 percent consortium stake and the transfer of management control. The game roadmap provides a separate operating milestone, but the ownership timetable remains the clearest company-specific catalyst.
