Netmarble has posted a rather impressive set of numbers for the third quarter, with operating profits soaring by 38.8% year-on-year, thanks largely to the success of their own IP titles like Seven Knights Re:BIRTH and Vampir.

Netmarble unveiled its Q3 2025 financial results on the 6th. The company pulled in 696 billion KRW in revenue, with an operating profit of 90.9 billion KRW and a net profit of 40.6 billion KRW. Revenue grew by 7.5% compared to the same period last year, while operating and net profits jumped by 38.8% and 97.1%, respectively.

The star performer in Q3 was Seven Knights Re:BIRTH, accounting for 12% of total revenue, followed by Vampir at 9%. CFO Do Ki-wook noted, "Seven Knights Re:BIRTH saw positive results following its global launch on September 18th, and we plan to maintain momentum through regular updates." Regarding Vampir, he added, "It has maintained a solid performance after hitting the top spot on major domestic mobile markets shortly after launch."

Overseas revenue reached 472.6 billion KRW, making up 68% of the total. By region, North America accounted for 34%, Korea 32%, Europe 11%, Southeast Asia 8%, Japan 8%, and others 7%. While domestic revenue increased compared to last year, North American figures saw a dip. MMORPGs saw a significant boost, likely driven by domestic-focused releases like Vampir.

Operating profit was bolstered by rising revenue and a drop in commission rates. Third-quarter commission expenses remained flat year-on-year at 224.9 billion KRW. Market fees decreased in line with a higher proportion of PC users, and the company highlighted that the reduction in IP royalty rates is primarily due to a larger share of in-house titles—a shift from the past where heavy commission spending often weighed down operating margins.

Year-to-date cumulative revenue for the first three quarters stands at 2.0375 trillion KRW, with a cumulative operating profit of 241.7 billion KRW. Revenue is up 1.1% year-on-year, with operating profit climbing by 34%.

Looking ahead, Netmarble is set to launch Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive in Q4. Next year, they have a packed slate of eight new titles, including Stone Age Raising, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, Sol: enchant, Mongil: Star Dive, Solo Leveling: Karma, Evilbane, Shangri-La Frontier: Seven Besties, and Project Octopus. Five of these—Evilbane, Solo Leveling: Karma, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, Mongil: Star Dive, and Sol: enchant—will be showcased at G-Star 2025 in Busan starting November 13th.

Netmarble CEO Kim Byung-gyu stated, "The successive successes of new titles like RF Online Next, Seven Knights Re:BIRTH, and Vampir have once again proven our competitiveness in the global market. In 2026, we intend to further sharpen our edge with highly anticipated titles like The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin and Mongil: Star Dive to secure distinctive results worldwide."
