Neptune has resolved to merge with its subsidiary Tripla by April 2026. This move seeks to consolidate expertise in hybrid-casual gaming operations. Tripla brings a strong track record of success with its hit series.

Neptune officially announced on the 27th that it has resolved to merge with its subsidiary, Tripla. The company stated that this merger is intended to enhance management efficiency and bolster corporate and shareholder value through a consolidated business structure. The merger date is set for April 1, 2026.
Tripla is a mobile game developer acquired by Neptune in September 2021. The company aimed to strengthen its global casual gaming capabilities and has primarily developed hybrid-casual games in the tycoon genre. 'Cat Snack Bar,' released in the global market in early 2023, surpassed 10 million cumulative downloads within about three months of its launch. To date, the game has recorded 45 million cumulative downloads and 40 billion KRW in cumulative revenue, establishing itself as the flagship title of Tripla's cat series.
Tripla achieved 26.8 billion KRW in revenue and 3 billion KRW in operating profit in 2023. Following the continued success of the cat series and the diversification of its lineup, the company recorded 52.1 billion KRW in revenue and 6.37 billion KRW in operating profit in 2025. Heo San, CEO of Tripla, stated, "We will continue to develop various games beyond the cat series. Furthermore, we will identify promising domestic and international developers to launch a publishing business and focus on increasing company value as a member of Neptune."
After the merger, all Tripla employees will be assigned to a newly established department dedicated to hybrid-casual games within Neptune. Through this, Neptune plans to internalize Tripla's development and service capabilities and maximize business synergy.

넵튠은 자회사 트리플라와의 합병을 결의했다고 27일 공시했다. 회사 측은 이번 합병이 양사 사업 통합을 통해 경영 효율성을 높이고 기업 및 주주 가치를 제고하기 위함이라고 밝혔다. 합병 기일은 2026년 4월 1일로 정해졌다.
트리플라는 넵튠이 2021년 9월 인수한 모바일게임 개발사다. 캐주얼 게임 서비스의 글로벌 역량 강화를 목표로 했으며, 주로 타이쿤 장르의 하이브리드 캐주얼게임을 개발해왔다. 2023년 초 글로벌 시장에 출시된 ‘고양이 스낵바’는 출시 약 3개월 만에 누적 1,000만 다운로드를 돌파했다. 현재까지 이 게임은 누적 4,500만 다운로드와 누적 매출 400억 원을 기록하며 트리플라 고양이 시리즈의 대표작으로 자리매김했다.
트리플라는 2023년 매출 268억 원, 영업이익 30억 원을 달성했다. 이후 고양이 시리즈의 연속 흥행과 라인업 다각화를 통해 2025년에는 매출 521억 원, 영업이익 63억 7,000만 원을 기록한 바 있다. 허산 트리플라 대표는 "고양이 시리즈 외 다양한 게임 개발을 지속할 것이라고 언급했다. 또한 국내외 성장 잠재력이 있는 개발사를 찾아 퍼블리싱 사업을 시작하고 넵튠의 일원으로서 회사 가치 증대에 주력하겠다"고 밝혔다.
합병 이후 트리플라의 모든 직원은 넵튠 내에 신설되는 하이브리드 캐주얼 게임 담당 부서에 배치될 예정이다. 이를 통해 넵튠은 트리플라의 개발 및 서비스 역량을 내재화하고 사업 시너지를 극대화할 계획이다.
