NCsoft Q3 profits soar

NCsoft has enjoyed a year-on-year Q3 profits jump of 836 per cent – largely thanks to the release of MMO Aion: The Tower of Eternity.

YoY revenue more than doubled in the period to KRW 166.28 billion (US$144.00 million) – up 21 per cent on Q2, when the firm released Aion in Korea.

YoY profits stood at KRW 46.88 billion (US$40.60 million) – up 39 per cent on Q2, thanks to the Q3 release of Aion in North America and Europe.

Aion made up more than half of NCsoft’s total sales in Q3.
