The action RPG Stellar Blade features a cameo from renowned Korean developer Jae Kyung Seong (known as Jake Song outside of South Korea). You can meet him in the city of Zion and get information about the game world from him.
Jake Song is a fairly well-known personality in the gaming industry and has worked on a number of popular projects: Lineage, ArcheAge, Civilization Online, Moonlight Sculptor, etc. In addition, he was at the origins of the Nexon company, and also founded the XLGAMES company, which he led until September 2023, but left the post of CEO to concentrate on the development of the MMORPG ArcheAge 2.
At a press conference on the occasion of the game’s release, Stellar Blade game director Kim Hyun-tae answered a question from South Korean journalists about the appearance of Jake Song in the game:
“I have a lot of respect for him. If you listen to his development philosophy, he wants to make things that can become “good games” for users, and wants to communicate with them through interesting works. They also left a big mark on the South Korean gaming industry.
When he visited us, I asked him if it was possible to capture his face and add it to the game. He agreed and we did it.”
