LOS ANGELES – FEBRUARY 14, 2025 – Netmarble Corp, renowned mobile game developer and publisher, reported $475.92 million in revenue and $53.86 million in EBITDA globally for the fourth quarter of 2024. The company recorded $25.83 million operating profit this quarter.

In 2024, Netmarble cumulatively earned $1.95 billion in revenue and $271.33 million in EBITDA, with an operating profit of $158.12 million and net profit of $4.64 million.

“Though performances were still short of market expectations, Netmarble successfully turned the tables around in 2024 following two consecutive years of operating margins being in the red,” said Young-sig Kwon, CEO of Netmarble. “With new title releases, including Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, and more coming, 2025 will be a year where Netmarble lays the groundwork for a ‘next leap’ forward,” he added.

New game launches scheduled during the first half of 2025 include RF ONLINE NEXT (in Korea), Seven Knights Re:BIRTH, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, and The King of Fighters AFK. In addition, Netmarble plans to release The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, MONGIL: STAR DIVE, The RED (TBD; in Korea), Project SOL, and Solo Leveling: ARISE (on Steam) throughout 2025.

Netmarble’s Q4 and financial results include:

• North America led revenues (46%) with diversification across other key territories as follows: Korea (17%), Europe (15%), Southeast Asia (9%), and Japan (6%), and other regions (7%).
• Netmarble’s portfolio showed diversification across various genres, including Casual Games (40%), RPG (39%), MMORPG (13%), and other genres (8%).
• Top performing titles for the fourth quarter included: Marvel Contest of Champions (13%), Jackpot World (8%), Lotsa Slots (8%), Cash Frenzy (7%), Solo Leveling: ARISE (6%), Raven2(5%), The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross (5%), and Marvel Future Fight (3%).
• Q4 revenue saw a slight increase compared to the previous quarter, benefitting from a major update to The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross and seasonal updates for games serviced by Netmarble’s subsidiaries, such as Marvel Contest of Champions and Jackpot World. However, due to rising expenses, such as marketing costs, EBITDA declined and a net loss was recorded due to impairment of intangible assets.

A breakdown of the total financial earnings is below:

Hinwil, 14 February 2025 – KICK F1 Sim Racing Team driver, Thomas Ronhaar, jumped to the top of the standings of the 2025 Sim Racing World Championship as the series continued to deliver exciting action across four intense rounds. Racing in Silverstone, Spa, Zandvoort, and COTA, Thomas Ronhaar stood out with a stellar win at the Circuit of The Americas, while Brendon Leigh overcame some challenging moments throughout the event. The team now sits in fifth place in the standings, with Thomas moving up to the top the Drivers’ Championship and Brendon in P19.

Round 5: Silverstone
The Silverstone round was tough for the team. In qualifying, Thomas made it through to P6, while Brendon found himself starting from P18 after a tricky session in the rain. The race saw Thomas drop a couple of places at the start but make some solid moves after the pit stops, ending up in P5 with a clean strategy. Brendon had a tougher time, ultimately retiring after a crash late in the race. Thomas managed to hold on and finished in P6, securing valuable points for the team.

Round 6: Spa
Spa was a whole different challenge, with heavy rain throughout the round. Both drivers made it through qualifying, with Thomas starting from P1 after an exceptional lap in Q3. Brendon wasn’t far behind in P7. The race itself saw Thomas in an incredible battle for the lead with Alfie Butcher, swapping positions multiple times throughout the race. Thomas eventually finished in P3, securing a podium, while Brendon fought hard to recover from a pit stop and ended up finishing P10.

Round 7: Zandvoort
Zandvoort’s tight and twisty layout gave both drivers a tough challenge. Thomas qualified well in P5, while Brendon started from P18. Rain started to play a big role, and Thomas made the call to pit early for intermediate tires, positioning himself in P2. He fought hard to maintain his position and managed to finish in P3 after some great on-track battles. Unfortunately, Brendon couldn’t get into the rhythm and finished P18 after an overall tough race.

Round 8: Circuit of The Americas
The final round of the event at COTA was one to remember for Thomas. After qualifying P2 and missing pole by just nine-thousandths of a second, Thomas had an incredible start, immediately challenging for the lead. He managed to take the lead after a few laps and didn’t look back from there. Despite a challenging pit stop and a lot of on-track action, Thomas fought his way back to P1, securing the win after a fantastic performance. Brendon had a more difficult race, finishing in P15 after struggling to find pace.

Brendon Leigh
KICK F1 Sim Racing Team (Car #72)

“First of all – congratulations to Thomas! It’s great to see him at the top of the standings. It’s been a mixed event for me. I had some good moments and showed some pace, but overall, I didn’t bring home the results I was hoping for. There were definitely some challenges along the way, but I’m not letting that discourage me. I’m going to keep working hard, stay focused on improving, and build on what I have learned. I know I have the potential to come back stronger in the next rounds and support the team in the top five battle, and I’m determined to make that happen.”

Thomas Ronhaar
KICK F1 Sim Racing Team (Car #39)

“What an event it has been, especially with the win at COTA which made things even sweeter. It’s always great to take home a victory, and it feels even better after some of the challenges we faced earlier in the weekend. Silverstone was a bit rough for me, but we bounced back strong in the other races, showing what we are capable of. The team has been fantastic, and I really feel like we are improving with each event. I’m currently at the top of the standings, and the team is in P5, which is a great position to be in at this stage. But we know the job isn’t done yet — there’s still a long way to go, and we’re going to keep pushing to build on this momentum for the final event of the season.”

Get a taste of the Lovecraftian horde survivor roguelike ahead of its full release

Asheville, North Carolina, February 14th, 2025 | Krystone Games is proud to announce that their debut title, Eldritch Escape, is coming soon to Steam, with a demo now available. Explore decaying realms, exterminate hordes of symbiote aliens, and extract exotic loot before time runs out—or before the swarm overwhelms you.

Welcome to Hope’s Anchor—the last refuge settlement, adrift in the vast emptiness inside the stomach of an Eldritch God that has just swallowed Earth. This fragment of our planet is home to its final survivors, who cling to hope amidst the chaos. At its center lies a black hole, pulling everything into its dark embrace. You have been entrusted with an ancient relic—an unholy portal that leads to other realms filled with horrors beyond your imagination…

Reclaim Humanity

Enter a cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic frontier where humanity is on the brink of extinction. Begin with an unexpected band of survivors—a skilled marksman, an honorable samurai, and a supportive biomancer—as they embark on a journey to restore what remains. Traverse through a portal network of connecting realms, from the underwater depths of the Cthulhu’s domain to a desert kingdom ruled by an oppressive king. Unleash mayhem as you battle waves of enemies and collect any loot they drop along the way. If you perish, you will lose all of your gathered materials and return with only your life. However, if you’re daring, you can attempt to reclaim your hard-earned resources during your next attempt or risk losing it to the void forever.

Extraction is Key

During your expeditions, gather resources from other realms to ensure humanity’s survival. Extract enough Morphite, a raw space material, to level up and give your party temporary battle boosts. Form your party and select your leader with unique character abilities in mind. Aim to break your extraction record by increasing your enemy kill count and Solidite collected. Open chests to find modules that improve your weapons with stat upgrades. If you’re in desperate need of resources, you may encounter vendors offering tempting trades. Be cautious—these risky deals could improve your stats permanently at the cost of maximum health reductions, regeneration speeds, and more.

The Art of Space Trade

Upon returning to your base, any leftover Morphite will solidify into Solidite, a precious currency necessary for space trade. Lend your hand to the remaining settlement NPCs as you undertake quests, gathering Solidite Caches, which you can exchange for permanent upgrades and enhancements. Seek out the blacksmith for weapon upgrades through expanding skill trees. Visit the last remaining scientist with peculiar yet groundbreaking practices that offer potent ability enhancements. Finally, rescue any remaining survivors during your expeditions who can later join your base, open new shops, or accompany your party on missions. 

Demo Out Now

Players who have been anticipating Eldritch Escape’s launch can now experience the first realm, Brood Mother’s Garden, in the demo. Prepare to face two challenging world bosses, Bone Horror and Toxic Horror, in bullet hell arenas, along with additional timed bosses and elite enemies. Get a head start on the epic title, where each realm offers boundless materials ready to extract!

Gameplay Features:

• Explore Brood Mother’s Garden, with many more realms set to be featured in the game’s full release.
• Race against time. You only have 20 minutes to navigate the portal network before your oxygen supply runs out.
• Metroidvania-inspired Level Design, where various realms gradually open up, revealing new unlockable abilities, items, and NPCs as you progress through the main storyline.
• Expansive Weapon Trees, each offering unique character upgrades, skins, and more.
• Extraction-based progression allows you to gather resources to unlock permanent upgrades at your base but at the cost of losing them if you die. Recover them on your next turn, or they disappear forever.
• 20 Weapons Modules to collect, buy, loot, and stack on top of your current weapons to enhance your abilities.

The Eldritch Escape demo is now available on Steam.
