Krafton, Nexon solidify industry-leading standings with upbeat earnings
Struggline NCSoft, Kakao Games pin hope on new titles Krafton and Nexon are solidifying their leadership in the Korean game industry, posting strong earnings in the first quarter to start the year strong on the back of successful new titles and ongoing popularity of the existing intellectual property. Krafton logged record-high first quarter revenue of 874.2 billion won ($625.8 million) and operating profit of 457.3 billion won from the January-to-March period this year, up 31.3 percent and 47.3 percent on year, respectively. Krafton's megahit battle royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds continued to attract gamers, with the maximum number of concurrent users reaching 1.4 million in March, according to the company. The game developer's life simulation game inZOI, which became available for early access on global gaming platform Steam in March, sold 1 million copies within a week of its debut to set a new record as the fastest Korean game to reach the milestone. Nexon raked in 1.08 trillion won in revenue and 395.2 billion won in operating profit in the first quarter, up 5 percent and 43 percent respectively from the same period last year. Nexon's two longstanding popular games — Dungeon & Fighter, an online multiplayer side-scrolling action game, and MapleStory, an online side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG — led the company's robust sales. With the veterans leading the way, The First Berserker: Khazan, a hardcore action RPG based on Dungeon & Fighter, and Mabinogi Mobile, a multi-access MMORPG, gave a boost as they were newly released in March. Netmarble delivered an earnings surprise as it logged 623.9 billion won in revenue and 49.7 billion won in operating profit, up 6.6 percent and 1243.2 percent on year, respectively. The operating profit, which shot way over the market consensus, was achieved thanks to the stable performances from its diverse lineup of games such as action RPG Solo Leveling:ARISE and fighting action games Marvel Contest of Champions. RF Online Next, a space-themed MMORPG released on March 20, accounted for about 3 percent of the company's quarterly game sales despite having only 10 days of impact on the quarterly earnings, raising optimism for the second quarter results. In contrast to the three aforementioned companies, NCSoft and Kakao Games struggled as they did not have any meaningful new titles. NCSoft earned 360.3 billion won in revenue and 5.2 billion won in operating profit to turn black in the first three months of this year. Although the company launched Journey of Monarch, an MMORPG based on NCSoft's flagship IP Lineage, in December last year, the game could not help the firm's ailing figures greatly. NCSoft plans to roll out seven new titles through 2026 including Aion 2 in the second half of this year, vowing to hit 2 trillion won in annual revenue next year. Kakao Games recorded 211.9 billion won in revenue and 12.4 billion in operating loss in the first quarter. Kakao Games will look to the global market this year including the North American and European regions as the company plans to release games with various genres for different platforms, including open-world action MMORPG Chrono Odyssey, online action RPG ArcheAge Chronicles and mobile side-scrolling action PRG Goddess Order.

YouTube tests new ad format BS Tech New Delhi Krafton releases BGMI 3.8 update with India-exclusive events Krafton has rolled out version 3.8 of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). This latest update introduces a Steampunk Frontier mode, an anniversary crate, and a series of India-centric collaborations and activities. According to Krafton, the BGMI 3.8 update "fuses futuristic mechanics with homegrown cultural integrations to deliver bold, immersive, and locally relevant experiences." American PC manufacturer Dell has introduced its 2025 range of Dell Plus laptops in the Indian market. The lineup includes models such as Dell 14 Plus, Dell 14 2-in-1 Plus, and Dell 16 Plus, all of which are powered by the Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors. These devices run on Microsoft's Copilot Plus PC platform and are equipped with a complete array of built-in artificial intelligence capabilities. Vivo has introduced the Elite edition of its V50 smartphone in India. With a price tag of ₹41,999, this special version is bundled with the TWS 3e earbuds, marking the only distinction between it and the regular V50 model. The V50 Elite edition is configured with 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage and is offered in a Rose Red color variant. Microsoft is experimenting with a voice activation feature similar to those found in Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. As shared in a company blog, Microsoft is testing this functionality for its built-in AI assistant, Copilot, which will respond when users say 'Hey Copilot!' The tech giant has begun rolling out this feature to Windows Insiders for testing. YouTube is reportedly working on a new ad system named 'Peak Points,' which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to insert ads at moments that are contextually significant in videos. According to TechCrunch, this system uses Google's Gemini AI to assess video content and pinpoint high-engagement segments. Ads are then placed just after these engagement peaks to make the most of viewer attention. Ubisoft, the French game developer, has reportedly confirmed that the remake of 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' will be released before April 2026. As per Insider Gaming, the publisher stated during an earnings call that development is progressing steadily, and the release is expected before the middle of next year. Originally scheduled for 2021, the game has faced three delays, as reported by The Verge. Samsung is said to have started development of the Galaxy S26 Edge, which would be its next-generation ultra-thin flagship device. As per a report from 9To5Google, citing The Elec, Samsung is considering dropping the 'Plus' variant from its Galaxy S series in favor of the new Edge model starting next year. Apple is also rumored to follow suit, possibly replacing the iPhone Plus with a slimmer device known as the 'iPhone Air.' Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has unveiled a new green color option for its upcoming OnePlus 13s. The teaser, posted on X (formerly Twitter), showcases this green variant, which joins the already announced Pink Satin and Black Velvet models. Realme, the Chinese smartphone brand, is gearing up to unveil its GT 7 series on May 27. The company has confirmed that one of the upcoming models, the Realme GT 7, will feature the recently released Dimensity 9400e chipset from MediaTek. Additionally, the device will come with a high-capacity 7,000mAh battery, along with support for 120W fast wired charging. OnePlus is reportedly set to broaden its Ace 5 series in China by launching two new variants: the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing and the Ace 5 Ultra. A report by GSMArena suggests that these additions are targeted at gaming users. The current Ace 5 lineup includes the OnePlus Ace 5 and the Ace 5 Pro. Once launched, the series will expand to four models. However, OnePlus has not yet confirmed an official release date. Samsung has introduced limited-time promotional offers on its Galaxy S25 smartphone. These include cashback incentives, exchange bonuses, and no-cost EMI options. A key highlight is the upgrade bonus of ₹11,000, bringing the phone's effective price down to ₹63,999. These offers are now live on Samsung's official website and are also available through select online retailers and offline stores. Bharti Airtel has unveiled a new AI-driven security platform aimed at preventing online fraud and spam. This multi-layered system is capable of detecting malicious websites across a range of platforms and applications. Given the rise in advanced online scams, Airtel's solution is designed to provide proactive protection in real time. Qlik, known for its expertise in data analytics, integration, and AI, has launched a new agentic experience to streamline data-intensive workflows and enhance decision-making. The company also introduced the Open Lakehouse, a fully managed solution based on Apache Iceberg, which is integrated into the Qlik Talend Cloud platform.
