Com2uS Returns to Operating Profit on "Zeus" Success ... "Expand Service Regions Next Year"
Build a foundation for the long-term success of "Zeus" and expand the new game lineup
"Summoners War" and baseball games also contribute to improved results
Com2uS returned to operating profitability in the third quarter of this year, buoyed by the success of its massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "Zeus: God of Pride."
Com2uS disclosed on Nov. 12 that its consolidated operating profit for the third quarter was preliminarily tallied at 13.9 billion won, reversing from an operating loss of 17.9 billion won in the same period last year. Revenue rose 35.2% year on year to 178 billion won. However, its net loss widened to 23.7 billion won.
"Zeus: God of Pride," developed by Aiverton and published by Com2uS, ranked No. 1 in sales on both major app marketplaces shortly after its release and has maintained a top ranking, establishing itself as a new growth driver. Com2uS's flagship title "Summoners War: Sky Arena" also delivered steady results through large-scale collaborations and events supporting player progression, sustaining its long-term success worldwide. Buoyed by these results, revenue from the role-playing game (RPG) division exceeded 100 billion won in the third quarter.
The company's baseball game lineup also contributed to improved results, led by "Com2uS Pro Baseball V26," which set a new quarterly revenue record for the sixth consecutive quarter.
Com2uS plans to build a foundation for the long-term success of "Zeus: God of Pride," strengthen the competitiveness of its major IP, and continue expanding its new game lineup. To start, "Zeus: God of Pride" will add new points of interest through new regions, competitive and cooperative content, and various events, while strengthening communication with players. The company will also expand the game's service regions in the first half of 2027 to target global markets.
"Summoners War" will hold the World Finals of "SWC2026," its global esports tournament now in its 10th year, in Seoul. The company plans to further strengthen its global fan base through year-end content updates and events. The baseball game lineup will roll out updates and events in line with major domestic and international professional baseball schedules, including the postseason, and begin preparations to develop esports competitions.
Among its new titles, Com2uS plans to launch "Tougen Anki: Crimson Inferno" in Japan before the end of 2026 and expand the service to global markets in 2027. It is also preparing new games based on prominent global intellectual properties (IPs), including the idle RPG "Destiny Child: Assemble," the survival action RPG "Gachiakuta: BREAKOUT," and a game based on "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint."
