Nexon recorded a 10% sales growth from its three major intellectual properties (IPs): Dungeon & Fighter, MapleStory, and FC (formerly FIFA Online and Mobile). In particular, the Dungeon & Fighter series saw a 53% increase in sales compared to the previous year, led by Dungeon & Fighter Mobile, which launched in China last May. MapleStory, which is serviced overseas, showed a 24% growth compared to the previous year, thanks to successful localization strategies. FC achieved the second-highest annual sales in its history, although it declined compared to the record-breaking performance in 2023.

This year, Mabinogi Mobile, the successor to one of Nexon's flagship titles, Mabinogi, will be released on the 27th of next month. The new hardcore action role-playing game (RPG), First Berserker: Kazan, is scheduled for a global release on the 28th of next month. Nexon is also preparing Dungeon & Fighter: Arad, an open-world action RPG based on the Dungeon & Fighter universe.

Lee Jung-heon, CEO of Nexon Japan, stated, "We are strengthening strategic research and investment to expand the business potential of Nexon's strong IPs such as Dungeon & Fighter and MapleStory."
