[DigitalToday reporter Ho-jung Lee] Mgame posted record revenue for a fourth straight year, helped by solid overseas performance from long-running hit games and the effect of a new title.
Mgame announced on Thursday it recorded consolidated 2025 revenue of 91.7 billion won, operating profit of 17.6 billion won and net profit of 16.0 billion won.
That was up 10 percent in revenue, 36.7 percent in operating profit and 2.1 percent in net profit from a year earlier.
The earnings rise was driven by the overseas performance of its flagship long-running MMORPGs, Yulgang Online and Knight Online, in China and in North America and Europe, respectively. New revenue from the mobile MMORPG Guhon M, released in November 2024, also contributed.
Mgame said it plans to sustain its growth momentum in 2026 by expanding its new lineup and global services, based on stable domestic and overseas revenue from its long-running games.
It plans to launch an idle mobile game under development using the intellectual property of its PC online game Guhon in the first half of the year. It will also provide publishing services for 2 mobile games within the year.
It also plans to accelerate its push into China by launching a web game in the first half of this year, following a mobile game developed and released locally in China based on its long-running MMORPG Droiian Online IP.
It is also strengthening policies to boost shareholder value based on financial soundness. Mgame decided last year to pay a cash dividend of 222 won per share and to cancel all 341,303 treasury shares, stepping up its shareholder return policy.
Mgame CEO Kwon Yi-hyung (권이형) said, "In 2025, we were able to deliver record results of the highest-ever revenue for a fourth consecutive year, helped by the global competitiveness of our existing core IP and the box-office success of the new title Guhon M." He added, "In 2026, we will not only solidify our growth momentum through a push into global markets and expansion of our new lineup, but also continue to strengthen our active shareholder return policy and focus our capabilities on enhancing shareholder value."
