NCSoft posted a sharp second-quarter rebound as "Lineage Classic" drove a second straight record quarter for PC games and helped lift overseas sales, prompting management to say annual revenue should "substantially exceed" the upper end of its previous 2.5 trillion won guidance. Revenue rose 101% year on year to 770.5 billion won and operating profit surged 1,053% to 173.9 billion won, while net income reached 131.2 billion won versus a 36 billion won loss a year earlier. "Lineage Classic" generated 185.5 billion won in the quarter and 269.1 billion won cumulatively, lifting PC revenue to a record 343.8 billion won for a second consecutive quarter. Mobile game revenue came to 185.3 billion won, up slightly from the previous quarter, with "Lineage M" rising 4% quarter on quarter. South Korea accounted for 48% of sales, Asia 25%, and North America and Europe 27%, leaving overseas markets at 52% of total revenue for a fourth straight quarterly increase in mix. Management said about 10 titles are planned for rollout from the second half of this year through next year, starting with "Aion 2 Global" next month, while "Horizon Steel Frontier," "Cinder City" and "Guild Wars 3" are set to be unveiled at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne later this month. NCSoft also said it lent 120.7 billion won to ArenaNet to support the development and launch of "Guild Wars 3," which it sees as a key intellectual property for global expansion and for reaching its 5 trillion won annual revenue target ahead of the original 2030 timetable.
