Pearl Abyss announced on the 13th that for the second quarter of 2025, it recorded a consolidated revenue of 79.6 billion won, an operating loss of 11.8 billion won, and a net loss of 22.7 billion won.
Revenue decreased by 4.9% compared to the previous quarter and by 2.7% compared to the same period last year. The operating loss widened compared to the same period last year (11.8 billion won), affected by increased advertising expenses. The net loss, influenced by foreign exchange conversion losses due to exchange rate fluctuations, turned from a surplus of 9.1 billion won in the same period last year to a deficit.
In the second quarter, overseas revenue accounted for 82%. "Black Desert" added a new difficulty level to the boss in the morning country "Black Desert Donghae Island" and improved territory wars and occupation battles. Black Desert Console launched PS5 and Xbox X|S versions, establishing a stable play environment through hardware upgrades. "EVE Online" released the "Legion" expansion pack and held "EVE Fanfest."
The anticipated game "Crimson Desert" received positive reviews by unveiling a new quest line demo at the "PAX EAST" in Boston, USA, in May and the "Summer Game Fest" in LA, USA, in June. Pearl Abyss plans to continue marketing its new titles by participating in global game shows such as "Gamescom," "PAX West," and the "Tokyo Game Show" in the third quarter.
Jo Mi-young, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Pearl Abyss, said, "We will continue to provide steady live services for Black Desert and EVE in the second half of 2025, and we will do our best until the successful release of Crimson Desert."
