Why Did Kuro Games Create the Kuro Onroad Animation Label?

Instead of outsourcing production entirely to external animation houses, Kuro Games established Kuro Onroad as an internal animation division. Building an in-house animation brand grants the developer several strategic production advantages:

• Direct Creative Oversight: Kuro Games retains strict control over character models, visual direction, combat choreography, and lore accuracy.
• Production Pipeline Independence: Operating an internal division reduces reliance on third-party studio schedules, ensuring smoother animation releases alongside major in-game updates.
• Transmedia Brand Growth: Establishing a dedicated animation pipeline allows Kuro Games to turn its original intellectual property into a multi-platform media franchise, joining industry leaders like HoYoverse and Riot Games.
