Red Desert, Aion 2 lift Korean game makers\' first-quarter outlook

Pearl Abyss and NCSOFT are expected to post sharply stronger results from early momentum in new titles Red Desert and Aion 2, respectively. Krafton and Netmarble are seen benefiting from steady performance of existing intellectual property, while Nexon projects double-digit top-line growth based on company guidance.
