Nexon unveiled its new game pipeline at its Capital Markets Briefing (CMB) 2026, outlining plans to drive growth over the next few years by expanding existing franchises and diversifying across various genres and platforms.

Nexon CEO Lee Jung-hun presented the company's future pipeline on the 31st at the CMB 2026. The strategy aims to secure a comprehensive user base and build a long-term ecosystem for each IP through 'Core, Classic, Lite, and Frontier expansion,' a method previously applied to the MapleStory IP. Lee used the MapleStory strategy as a blueprint before introducing new projects for the Dungeon & Fighter IP.

First, Nexon plans to launch the casual idle game 'Dungeon & Fighter Idle' later this year to attract new users. This will be followed by 'Dungeon & Fighter Classic,' a reboot based on the 2009 version, which is slated for release next year to engage nostalgic players. The strategy for Dungeon & Fighter Classic is to modernize the UX while maintaining the core appeal of the original to capture both returning and new users.

Additionally, the multi-platform project 'Dungeon & Fighter: Arad,' spanning PC, console, and mobile, aims to target a global casual audience. The action RPG 'Project Overkill' was also highlighted, with the company noting significant interest in its modern reinterpretation of raids and cooperative play.

The Mabinogi franchise is also set for expansion. In addition to expanding the service regions for Mabinogi Mobile, 'Mabinogi Eternity' is in development, featuring a major engine overhaul. Furthermore, the action title 'Vindictus: Defying Fate' is being developed to inherit the combat legacy of Mabinogi Heroes while significantly enhancing graphics and action.

The new pipeline also includes significant projects beyond major IPs. Embark Studios is developing a follow-up project based on the development methodology of 'ARC Raiders,' which has seen steady success post-launch. Additionally, 'Nakwon: Last Paradise,' which demonstrated strong potential in recent closed tests, is targeted for a 2027 release, with Nexon strengthening global competitiveness through collaboration with Embark Studios.

Meanwhile, Nexon used the CMB to share various information, including management achievements, future strategies, global expansion goals, and the new game pipeline, presenting its vision for the future.
