LOS ANGELES and SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Spaceport, the leading innovator in unlocking the power of intellectual Property (IP) and user-generated content (UGC), today announced a new strategic partnership with Com2uS Platform, a specialized IT content company within the Com2uS group, a global leader in the gaming industry. This partnership aims to expand the reach and engagement of UGC on major gaming platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite.

Com2uS Platform will use Spaceport and its IP platform for the exclusive representation of a variety of its industry-leading IP, aimed at securing licensing deals for the development of third-party content within Roblox and Fortnite globally.

Spaceport recently announced its partnership with Toei Animation, the global studio behind One Piece and Dragon Ball, for its latest feature film, HYPERGALACTIC into Roblox and Fortnite. Both of these collaborations are set to redefine branded content and fan engagement by introducing some of the best IP in the world into the most popular content platforms for gamers of all ages.

"Partnering with Spaceport aligns perfectly with our vision of expanding our reach and fostering creativity within the UGC space," said Sogwon Choi, CEO of Com2uS Platform.
