HanbitSoft has unveiled its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

On the 15th, HanbitSoft announced its Q1 2026 financial report. The company posted 8.6 billion KRW in revenue, marking a 2.8% increase compared to the same period last year. With an operating profit of 2.2 billion KRW and a net profit of 2.8 billion KRW, they have successfully swung to a surplus, with net profit surging by 439% year-on-year. This performance was driven largely by their live service strategy, with Granado Espada M leading the charge.

Granado Espada M stands as HanbitSoft’s flagship IP. It has already surpassed 40 billion KRW in cumulative revenue across key markets, including South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, as well as parts of Southeast Asia, effectively bolstering the company's bottom line. Their push to refine live service operations and a company-wide effort to trim operating expenses have further solidified this financial foundation.

Looking ahead, HanbitSoft aims to carry this positive momentum into the second half of the year. While continuing to focus on operational stability in existing regions and internal efficiency, they plan to expand into new territories to drive both top-line growth and profitability. The strategy includes launching Granado Espada M in additional Southeast Asian regions, followed by a broader push into North America and Europe. For the Chinese market, they are currently working on localization in partnership with local publisher Changshu 39 Inter Entertainment Network Technology to ensure a swift release.

A spokesperson for HanbitSoft stated, "With the steady performance of Granado Espada M as our bedrock, we expect our growth engine to accelerate as we aggressively target new markets in the second half of the year." They added, "As the results of our global IP expansion and management efficiency become more tangible this year, we are committed to rewarding market confidence with even greater leaps in performance."
