NC today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

NC reported quarterly revenue of KRW 557.4 billion, operating profit of KRW 113.3 billion, and net income of KRW 152.4 billion. Revenue rose 38% QoQ and 55% YoY, with operating margin at 20%.

By region, Korea accounted for 58% of revenue, Asia for 27%, and North America, Europe, and other regions for 15%. The overseas revenue share climbed to 42%, up from 35% in the prior-year period.

PC game revenue reached an all-time quarterly high of KRW 318.4 billion, surging 69% QoQ and 210% YoY. The growth reflects a full quarter of contribution from AION 2, which launched in November 2025, combined with the strong performance of Lineage Classic.

AION 2 generated KRW 136.8 billion in revenue, while Lineage Classic contributed KRW 83.5 billion. Lineage Classic also accumulated KRW 192.4 billion in its first 90 days of service from February 11 to May 11.

Mobile game revenue totaled KRW 182.8 billion. Key mobile titles maintained solid user engagement even after the launch of Lineage Classic, with Lineage M recording QoQ growth in both revenue and key performance metrics.

Mobile casual revenue reached KRW 35.5 billion, as the financial results of Lihuhu and Springcomes were consolidated for the first time this quarter—expanding NC’s business portfolio and establishing a more sustainable revenue base.

NC plans to launch AION 2 globally across North America, South America, Europe, and Japan in the second half of 2026. New IPs—CINDER CITY, LIMIT ZERO BREAKERS, and TIME TAKERS—are also expected to launch sequentially following completion of global testing.
