Early for them, like by 2 weeks.

Year over year NCSOFT income is up 1.74%, profit up 9.30%.

Guild Wars 2 sales (not counting China) is up 4.48% year over year.

I guess prepurchasing is helping.

Specifically they call out a large upswing in Korean income due to their core games especially Lineage I, II and Aion. Lineage II and B&S in Japan and B&S in Taiwan are also boosting income from those regions. YoY results.

Korea + 33.36% (+ 36,387 million KrW)
Japan + 1.55% (+ 173 million KrW)
Taiwan + 572.86% (+ 10,176 million KrW)

Taiwan is now bringing in more income than Japan.

I can see why NCSOFT will soon push B&S onto the NA/EU market, even the more sanitized version.

WildStar is still limping along until their F2P mode is released, down 19.98% from last quarter and down 92.60% from their launch quarter. That’s a game that still has a subscription.

Royalties are down 44.17% year over year which they blame on B&S in China with a lack of content updates and in-game promotions. No mention on how GW2 or their other properties are doing there.

Edit: fix unintentional underlining

We are heroes. This is what we do!

RIP City of Heroes
