Nexon has announced it will be publishing PopTag!, with launch in early 2010. PopTag! is originally called Crazy Arcade developed by Nexon Korea as a free online multiplayer game. It has offered five different game modes: Bomb and Bubbles (BnB) , Tetris, Hidden Catch, Dizzy Pang, and Bz. Only the first survived and became Nexon's most successful games with millions of loyal fans, taking on the classic Bomberman series but replacing bombs with water balloons.

PopTag! is a 2-D arcade-style multiplayer game where players navigate a variety of multi-colored maps and battle each other, or NPCs (non-playable characters), with water-based weapons, such as water balloons, in a variety of game modes. PopTag! offers fast-paced game play in player-versus-player modes, or cooperative modes where gamers can join together to take on unique and deadly boss monsters and their minions. A "co-play" function is also available to users, allowing two players to play using a single keyboard.

"PopTag! is an exciting addition to our catalogue of games and it should have strong appeal to fans of fast-paced arcade style gaming," said Daniel Kim, Nexon America's CEO. "We consider PopTag! one of the cornerstones of Nexon's worldwide success. It exemplifies Nexon's commitment to delivering a quality free-to-play gaming experience with frequent content updates. The results speak for themselves - a massive worldwide following for a game that Nexon America is proud to be publishing"
