This is a press release posted in addition to our usual editorial content.

KRAFTON, Inc. has announced that MIMESIS, a four-player co-op horror title from KRAFTON’s creative studio ReLU Games, has surpassed two million cumulative copies sold worldwide. Last month’s major update added further content to the game’s Early Access run, helping drive the new sales record.

About MIMESIS
MIMESIS is a four-player co-op psychological horror game powered by AI technology. In a world where mysterious rain transforms humans into creatures called Mimesis, players must escape via tram, gather resources, and keep the vehicle running, all while paranoia mounts that one teammate may already have been replaced. The MIMESIS AI mimics voices, behaviours, and memories, creating tense psychological battles where trust itself becomes the ultimate trap. MIMESIS passed one million copies sold worldwide within 50 days of its Early Access launch last October, and crossed the two million mark following last month’s update. Building on this momentum, KRAFTON plans to continue growing MIMESIS into a major franchise IP.

Major Content Update

Last month’s update improved the creature’s behaviour and reworked the game’s progression and difficulty, driving the latest sales spike. The game has also built a strong following on video platforms, with content built around its mistaken-identity premise drawing a combined 10.33 million watch hours and peak concurrent viewership of 3.8 million across individual videos.

CEDEC Awards 2026

MIMESIS also picked up critical recognition last month, becoming the first Korean game to win an Excellence Award in the Game Design category at the CEDEC Awards 2026, Japan’s largest game developer conference, and a finalist for the category’s Grand Award.

“Reaching two million copies is thanks to the players who believed in the game and gave us such strong support,” said Min-jung Kim, CEO of ReLU Games. “We’ll keep building on that momentum as MIMESIS grows.”

MIMESIS is available in Early Access on Steam. More information is available on the official website, Steam page, and YouTube.
