AI Summary
Neowiz reported 102.1 billion KRW in revenue for Q2 2026. PC and console sales stabilized while mobile games saw growth. The firm appointed Park Sung-jun as co-CEO to drive development.

Neowiz has released its financial performance for the second quarter of 2026.
On the 12th, Neowiz disclosed its consolidated financial results for Q2 2026. The company reported revenue of 102.1 billion KRW, a 7% dip compared to the same period last year. Operating profit fell 57% year-on-year to 7.9 billion KRW, while net profit climbed by 18% to reach 18.4 billion KRW.
Breaking down the revenue streams, PC and console titles brought in 37.3 billion KRW, while mobile gaming contributed 53.2 billion KRW. The 35.1% decline in the PC and console sector reflects the expected stabilization of sales for Lies of P and Shape of Dreams. However, the mobile sector stepped up to plug the gap, posting a 20.7% increase year-on-year to 53.2 billion KRW. Meanwhile, the 'other' category, which includes rental and advertising income, saw a 37% jump to 11.6 billion KRW.


Operating expenses for the quarter sat at 94.1 billion KRW, a 3% increase from the previous year. While the company managed to trim labor costs by 13%, these savings were offset by rising variable costs and marketing spend, driven by new title launches and various live IP events.

In a strategic pivot, the board has appointed Park Sung-jun, head of the New Title Development Group, as co-CEO. Neowiz will now operate under a dual-leadership structure with Park Sung-jun and Bae Tae-geun at the helm. Park Sung-jun, who was instrumental in the global success of Lies of P, will concentrate on rallying development capabilities for future hits, while Bae Tae-geun will oversee management, focusing on tech-based new ventures and infrastructure. The company plans to realign its structure around three key pillars: the New Title Development Group, the Global Business Group, and the Live Game Business Group, to better hunt for new IP and ensure stable live operations.
Regarding the new role, Park Sung-jun stated, "I am taking my first steps toward applying the experience I have gained on the front lines of development to the broader scope of management. I intend to focus the company's resources on new projects to create another global success story that follows in the footsteps of Lies of P."

네오위즈가 2026년 2분기 실적을 발표했다.
네오위즈는 12일, 2026년 2분기 연결 실적을 공시했다. 네오위즈의 2026년 2분기 매출은 1,021억 원으로, 전년 동기 대비 7% 감소했다. 같은 기간 영업이익은 전년 동기 대비 57% 감소한 79억 원, 당기순이익은 18% 증가한 184억 원이다.
부문 별 매출로는 PC·콘솔 게임 373억 원, 모바일게임 532억 원을 기록했다. 전년 동기 대비 35.1% 감소한 PC·콘솔 게임은 P의 거짓 및 셰이프 오브 드림스의 매출 하향 안정화가 반영된 성과다. 그러나 모바일게임 부문 매출이 전년 동기 대비 20.7% 높은 532억 원을 기록하며 이탈된 매출을 보완했다. 임대 및 광고수익이 반영된 기타 부문 매출은 전년 동기 대비 37% 증가한 116억 원을 기록했다.


네오위즈의 2분기 영업비용은 941억 원으로 전년 동기 대비 3% 증가했다. 이는 인건비가 전년 동기 대비 13% 줄어들었으나, 모바일 매출 증가와 신작 런칭, 라이브 IP 이벤트 등이 겹치며 변동비 및 마케팅비가 소폭 상승한 결과다.

한편, 네오위즈는 이사회 승인을 거쳐 박성준 신작개발그룹장을 공동대표로 선임됐다. 이에 따라 향후 네오위즈는 박성준·배태근 공동대표 체제로 전환된다. P의 거짓 글로벌 흥행을 이끈 박성준 대표는 신작 개발 역량 결집에 집중할 방침이며, 배태근 대표는 기술 기반 신규 사업과 인프라 운영을 중심으로 한 경영 관리를 맡는다. 또한 신작개발그룹, 글로벌사업그룹, 라이브게임사업그룹 세 축을 중심으로 신규 IP 발굴, 글로벌 퍼블리싱, 안정적인 라이브 운영에 집중할 계획이다.
박성준 공동대표는 “개발 현장에서 쌓아 온 경험을 경영 전반으로 확장하는 첫걸음을 내딛게 됐다”며 “신작 개발에 회사의 역량을 집중해 ‘P의 거짓’에 이어 글로벌 시장에서 통하는 새로운 흥행 IP를 만들어내겠다”고 말했다.
