Arc Raiders generates $114.9m during Nexon's Q2, sells an additional 800,000 units

Overall results exceeded expectations, supported by Embark Studios' extraction shooter and Nexon's MapleStory franchise

Nexon's Q2 results exceeded expectations, driven by strong performances from its MapleStory franchise and the ongoing success of Embark Studios' Arc Raiders.

The company reported a 77% year-over-year increase in net income this quarter, which was primarily attributed to a ¥1.7 billion ($10.6 million) FX loss for the period - a significant improvement over a ¥17.5 billion ($109.9 million) loss in Q2 2025.

Operating income fell 17% in Nexon's second quarter, which the company said "reflected a shift in its product mix with higher revenue-linked costs" such as creator fees, user acquisition costs, and cloud service fees from global live services and data usage, as well as higher software service fees.

Among its main franchises, Embark Studios' Arc Raiders contributed ¥18.3 billion ($114.9 million) in revenue in the quarter and has generated more than ¥88 billion ($552.8 million) since launch.

Arc Raiders sold an additional 800,000 units in Q2, bringing total sales to 16.3 million. Preparations continue for its largest content update since launch, scheduled for release in October.

MapleStory, Dungeon & Fighter, and FC collectively generated ¥81.2 billion ($510.1 million) in revenue, down 5% year-over-year.

MapleStory revenue increased 63% overall. MapleStory Worlds surpassed the company's outlook, growing 123% year-over-year, driven by two new user-generated worlds launched in late April in Korea and Taiwan.

Dungeon & Fighter revenue "performance as expected," declining 44% year-on-year. Nexon expects revenue to fall further in Q3 but improve sequentially.
