On the 11th, Kakao Games released its 2025 annual financial results, prepared in accordance with the Korea International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS).

Kakao Games' 2025 annual revenue dropped by approximately 26% year-on-year to about 465 billion KRW, with an operating loss of roughly 39.6 billion KRW. Fourth-quarter revenue was approximately 98.9 billion KRW, a 26% decline compared to the previous year, with an operating loss of about 13.1 billion KRW. The company recorded a net loss of 110.6 billion KRW, marking a transition into the red.

The lack of new releases and the impact of expanded global investments affected the 2025 performance. The company has been streamlining non-core businesses and refocusing on its core 'game' business to strengthen its structural foundation. However, during this process, the release of four major titles, including 'Chrono Odyssey', was delayed, leading to a drought in new content, and the mobile game 'Goddess Order', which launched in the second half of the year, failed to achieve immediate success, with the company announcing the sudden termination of its updates.

Kakao Games plans to leverage its financial flexibility to accelerate platform expansion into genres, PC online, and consoles this year. In particular, the company aims to secure growth momentum by visualizing a pipeline for global market penetration starting in the second half of the year, following the completion of quality and market verification for its major titles.

As part of this effort, in the first quarter, the company will introduce 'SMiniz', a mobile casual game featuring SM Entertainment artists, adding to its global fandom-driven casual genre lineup. Subsequently, it will expand core IPs such as 'Odin' and 'ArcheAge' to global platforms including PC online and consoles through major new titles 'Odin Q' and 'ArcheAge Chronicles'. Furthermore, the company plans to sequentially release a diverse range of new titles, including ▲Strategic Adventure RPG 'Dungeon Arise' ▲2.5D MMORPG 'Project OQ' ▲Open-world Zombie Survival Simulator 'God Save Birmingham' ▲Subculture Training Simulation 'Project C'.

Kakao Games CEO Han Sang-woo stated, "Based on the structural reorganization we have carried out so far, we plan to make our upcoming new titles visible," adding, "We will concentrate our capabilities on game development to not only expand our own IP but also to deliver high-quality new titles diversified by platform, genre, and region."
