NEXON reported that about 75% of the revenue of the looter shooter The First Descendant comes from North America and Europe. This information became known from the financial report for the third quarter of 2024. And revenues in Japan doubled thanks to this game.
It is also noted that The First Descendant was well received by players, and in the future the development team plans to listen more to player feedback to solve all problems. For example, offline testing of the second season will take place in November to avoid a repetition of the situation that occurred in the first season.
The success of Dungeon & Fighter Mobile in China has decreased slightly, but is within expectations. Thanks to these two games, it was possible to compensate for the decline in income in other projects.
Regarding the new games that are being developed in the bowels of the company, Lee Jonghong, CEO of NEXON, said an interesting phrase that can be translated as follows:
“The new games released by NEXON are mainly multi-platform. We believe that users of different platforms have their own preferences, and we believe that it is necessary to satisfy a wide range of users. Our general direction is focused on multi-platform games.”
Several highly anticipated games are slated for release in 2025: The First Berserker: Khazan, ARC Raiders, and Mabinogi Mobile. About a dozen more projects remain without any official deadlines.
