Nexon has just reported its fourth-quarter 2025 financials, and, unsurprisingly, the company recorded "record-high Q4 and full-year revenue." The thing that makes it no surprise is the fact that Nexon is the parent company of Embark Studios, the team behind the hottest new extraction shooter, ARC Raiders. Which we now know has officially sold 14 million copies since it launched in October 2025.
This official sales update comes after a recent report that ARC Raiders was the top-selling game across Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation for a third consecutive month. It also means that the game sold just under 2M copies in the last month, since Embark confirmed the game had sold 12.4 million copies in January.
The success of ARC Raiders helped drive a 25% year-on-year (YoY) revenue increase for Nexon, with the company's overall revenue reaching $3.1 billion. Though Embark's popular shooter isn't the only story behind the company's record revenues (though, admittedly, it is most of the story).
It's the MapleStory franchise that drove growth outside of ARC Raiders, with the new release of MapleStory: Idle RPG driving growth after remaining the number one game on app stores for more than 10 weeks.
Embark Studios' other shooter, The Finals, wasn't a slouch while the new third-person extraction shooter took most of the glory. Revenue from The Finals also grew compared to the last fiscal year, with a significant chunk of that growth coming in December thanks to the game's Season 9 update.
Looking ahead, Nexon lists eight games in development, half of them being new IPs, while the rest are new games in the Dungeons and Fighters, the Mabinogi: Heroes, and Durango franchises.
- Azur Promilia - new IP published by Nexon - fantasy world RPG
- Project DX - new Durango-based game developed/published by Nexon - MMORPG
- Project RX - new IP developed/published by Nexon - anime-style game
- Vindictus: Defying Fate - new Mabinogi: Heroes-based game developed/published by Nexon - action RPG
- Nakwon: Last Paradise - new IP developed/published by Nexon - extraction survival game
- Woochi: The Wayfarer - new IP developed/published by Nexon - action adventure
- Dungeon & Fighter: Arad - new Dungeon & Fighter game developed/published by Nexon - open-world action RPG
- Project Overkill - new Dungeon & Fighter game developed/published by Nexon - 3D action RPG
The rumoured StarCraft game said to be in development at Nexon is not mentioned, though that's not exactly a surprise since whatever is happening with StarCraft likely won't be revealed until BlizzCon 2026. And if it was spoiled in a financial report, that would be more than a little anticlimactic.
