Nexon Releases Earnings for Second Quarter 2025
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEXON Co., Ltd. (Nexon) ( a global leader in online games, today announced the financial results for its second quarter ending on June 30, 2025. 'Nexon delivered a highly positive performance with better-than-expected results in the second quarter,' said Junghun Lee, President and CEO of Nexon. 'We have re-ignited growth in key titles, created momentum for recent launches, and successfully introduced new services to expand our presence in large markets worldwide. And excitement is building for the October 30 launch of ARC Raiders, which is currently ranked as Steam's #6 Wishlisted game worldwide.' Recent Highlights: Nexon delivered stronger-than-expected results with revenue of ¥118.9 billion, driven by MapleStory, FC ONLINE 1, and Dungeon&Fighter (PC), along with successful regional expansion of MapleStory Worlds and MABINOGI MOBILE. Year over year, revenue was down 3% on an as-reported basis, and up 6% on a constant-currency basis 2. Q2 operating income exceeded our expectations at ¥37.7 billion, driven by a strong top-line performance. Year over year, it was down 17% on an as-reported basis or 10% on a constant-currency basis 2. Net income 3 was down 58% at ¥16.8 billion due to an FX loss of ¥17.5 billion, while recording a ¥8.2 billion FX gain in the same quarter a year ago. The collective Q2 revenue of Nexon's three major franchises — Dungeon&Fighter, MapleStory, and FC — were down 13% year over year, due to the anticipated decline of Dungeon&Fighter Mobile, which launched in Q2 2024. MABINOGI MOBILE sustained the success of its March launch and delivered a solid contribution to the quarter. This week Nexon announced Woochi the Wayfarer, an all-new AAA action-adventure game now in an early stage of development for a global audience on PC and console. Nexon's Embark Studios announced the October 30 release of ARC Raiders. Another Embark game, THE FINALS, received an ISBN license in China in July and began its closed-alpha test on August 8. Franchise Performance D ungeon&Fighter Franchise: Player enthusiasm for recent content updates delivered a solid recovery and 67% year-over-year revenue growth on Dungeon&Fighter (PC) in Q2. However, total franchise revenue declined by 40% due to the Q2 2024 mobile launch. For the same reason, in Q3, we expect approximately 45% year-over-year decline, while expecting continued growth from the PC game. Dungeon&Fighter (PC): In Korea, Q2 revenue marked a new quarterly record with 132% year-over-year growth, led by the accelerated momentum from Q1. In China, Q2 revenue exceeded our expectations, delivering strong double-digit year-over-year growth, driven by the solid performance of the Labor Day update. The subsequent Anniversary update attracted returning users and pushed June MAUs and PUs to their highest levels this year. For Q3, we anticipate year-over-year growth both in Korea and China. Dungeon&Fighter Mobile: While the Q2 performance fell short of expectations due to the Anniversary update being less effective than anticipated at retaining returning players, we see improved prospects in Q3. A series of updates which began with a level-cap increase in July is expected to deliver modest sequential revenue growth. New content co-developed with Tencent is scheduled for release later this year. The First Berserker: Khazan: Our summer campaign kicked off in June with new content and promotions. This year's launch of Khazan gives us confidence in our ability to significantly expand the Dungeon&Fighter franchise worldwide. MapleStory Franchise: In Q2, the franchise delivered an exceptional performance with revenue growing 60% year over year, driven by strength in Korea MapleStory and the regional expansion of MapleStory Worlds. In Q3, we expect the franchise to maintain this momentum with approximately 70% year-over-year growth. Korea MapleStory: The summer update delivered a significant increase in active players and all-time-high PC-cafe market share of 25%, resulting in 91% year-over-year revenue growth and setting a Q2 record. In Q3, we expect revenue to more than double year over year with additional content releases to maintain the strong player engagement. Global MapleStory: Q2 revenue grew year over year, led by the 36% growth in Western markets, which executed multiple promotions to deliver a significant increase to the player base. A summer content update was well-received by the player community. MapleStory Worlds: Q2 revenue significantly exceeded our expectations, achieving more than 7x year-over-year growth. Following the rollout in Europe and Asia 4 this year, the service is generating solid revenue with a growing and deeply engaged player base. We expect the momentum to continue in Q3. MapleStory Universe Project: The blockchain-based PC MMORPG MapleStory N launched in select markets on May 15. This experimental project tests autonomous economic models, fostering a player-driven, in-game economy within the Web3 ecosystem. The project offers insights on how this next-generation approach could overcome the limitations of the traditional Web2 games. MapleStory: Idle RPG: This mobile franchise extension created with idle-game studio, Able Games, is scheduled for global 5 release later this year. FC Franchise: FC ONLINE 1 exceeded our expectations with a 7th anniversary content update which, despite lower seasonality, delivered year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter Q2 revenue growth. In Q3, we expect to maintain player engagement with the Team of the Season update and marketing initiative featuring a legendary players' exhibition match planned for September. Mabinogi Franchise: The successful launch of MABINOGI MOBILE and player enthusiasm for the recent alpha test of Vindictus: Defying Fate support the potential of our Mabinogi IP to become a new and sustainable pillar in Nexon's portfolio of global franchises. MABINOGI MOBILE: Following the successful launch in March, revenue exceeded our outlook with strong MAUs, PUs, and ARPPU. Despite some sequential revenue moderation, we expect a significant contribution in Q3. Vindictus: Defying Fate: In June, we conducted a highly successful alpha test which established the game as the Most-Played Demo in the Steam Next Fest. Shooters: The First Descendant: Q2 results came within the expected range. The large-scale Season 3 launched on August 7 is expected to almost triple quarterly revenue sequentially. THE FINALS: Q2 revenue exceeded our outlook, driven by the well-received June Season 7 update which returned the title to a year-over-year growth trajectory. In July, the game received an ISBN license in China and our partners at Tencent began its closed-alpha test on August 8. ARC Raiders: Following the successful tech test in May, ARC Raiders is building recognition and player excitement. The game is ranked #6 on Steam's Top Wishlists worldwide and is scheduled for release on October 30. Shareholder Return Under the one-year, ¥100 billion share buyback policy announced in February, we completed a ¥50 billion share repurchase on June 25. Also, today, Nexon's board of directors approved the execution of the repurchase for the ¥25 billion worth of shares, scheduled from August 14 to October 31. We plan to complete the repurchases of the remaining ¥25 billion worth of shares by February 2026 at the latest, with consideration of factors including investment opportunities, financial conditions, and the market environment. Third Quarter 2025 Outlook: Expect revenue to be in the range of ¥116.6 billion to ¥127.1 billion, down 14% to 6% year over year on an as-reported basis, down 12% to 4% on a constant-currency basis 2. Expect operating income in the range of ¥32.7 billion to ¥41.2 billion, down 36% to 20% year over year on an as-reported basis. Expect net income 3 of ¥26.4 billion to ¥32.8 billion, down 2% to up 21% on an as-reported basis.

The new Timothée Chalamet movie trailer is about a sport no one respects
After appearing as music icon Bob Dylan last year, the next project from Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet is technically about sports. The 29-year-old actor impressed fans last year by proving his knowledge as a sports fan while appearing on ESPN's College GameDay. He correctly predicted upsets and genuinely seemed like a lot of fun joking around on set. During the exciting postseason run for the New York Knicks, he was also a fixture at Madison Square Garden, even sharing a fun moment with Karl-Anthony Towns. Hopefully, he got a second to pick Towns' brain about what it's like to be a wildly disrespected athlete, because that is exactly what Chalamet will portray in his next film. More: Timothée Chalamet was offered Stephen A. Smith mentorship for an ESPN career The first trailer for the upcoming A24 project Marty Supreme released on Wednesday and it looks wild. Here is what you need to know: "Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness." That dream, it seems, is to become a ping pong star so big that he will appear on the cover of Wheaties boxes. This is the first project from Josh Safdie (Good Time and Uncut Gems) in his solo directorial debut. Chalamet will lead in the first billing but Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary (from Shark Tank), and Tyler, The Creator (as Tyler Okonma) will co-star.
