HanbitSoft has unveiled its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The company posted revenue of approximately 6.8 billion KRW and an operating profit of 630 million KRW. While revenue saw a decline of 43.2% compared to the same period last year, operating profit managed a 1.8% increase. Looking at the first half of the year, revenue reached 15.4 billion KRW with an operating profit of 2.8 billion KRW, marking a 24.2% drop in revenue but a 558.6% surge in operating profit year-on-year.

HanbitSoft attributes these figures to a pivot toward profitability-focused management, which began at the end of the first quarter, alongside the integration of AI to reduce development and marketing costs. The company also noted that IMC Games continues to contribute to HanbitSoft’s net income improvement, mirroring the trend from the previous year. Both parties are committed to closer collaboration to drive mutual growth.

For the second half of the year, the plan is to diversify revenue streams by targeting the Southeast Asian market with Granado Espada M, alongside a global service push into North and South America. Furthermore, HanbitSoft is in close discussions with the Chinese publisher signed earlier this year.

A spokesperson for HanbitSoft stated, "Both operating and net profits for the second quarter have held steady at levels comparable to the same period last year, and on a standalone basis, we are seeing a consistent improvement in quality." The spokesperson added, "With the trend of improved profitability continuing across both consolidated and standalone results through the first and second quarters, we intend to maintain this momentum by tightening operational efficiency and stabilizing live services throughout the rest of the year."

Development of the new title Aika Mobile is also picking up pace. Following an IP licensing agreement with ArkNine Games this past June, HanbitSoft is currently developing a mobile MMORPG based on the Aika Online IP. The team is currently adapting the original’s core identity, including RvR content, to suit the mobile experience.
