WEBZEN said on the 7th that, on a consolidation basis for the third quarter of 2025, it posted operating revenue of 43.8 billion won, operating profit of 7.6 billion won, and net profit of 8.7 billion won. The figures were down 10.8%, 20.7%, and 13.0%, respectively, from a year earlier.
WEBZEN's third-quarter results were affected by a general slump in the domestic game market, reducing domestic revenue, but the "Metyn" IP drove overseas results. The flagship "MU" series maintained stable revenue, while the "Metyn" IP accounted for more than 19% of total revenue, lifting the overseas revenue share to 55%.
WEBZEN is preparing for a rebound in 2026 performance through new releases. Open-world action RPG "Dragon Sword," which began pre-registration on Nov. 5, centers on combo-action combat in a fantasy universe and is in the final stage of development with a goal of release early next year.
In addition, at "G-Star 2025" to be held in November, the company will showcase the new strategy defense title "Gate of Gates" and operate a demo booth. "Gate of Gates" combines roguelike elements with bishōjo training content, and after G-Star, the company will coordinate the development schedule and finalize the release plan.
WEBZEN CEO Kim Tae-young said, "Starting early next year, we plan to roll out a series of highly polished new titles," adding, "To enhance shareholder value, we will strengthen shareholder return policies, including a partial reduction of capital surplus, and do our best for sustained growth and higher corporate value."
