Com2uS Corp. swung to an operating profit of 6.6 billion won ($4.9 million) in 2024, rebounding from a loss in the previous year, despite a 6.3% decline in revenue to 692.7 billion won. The company posted a net loss of 131.8 billion won for the full year.
The South Korean mobile game developer’s turnaround was driven by the continued global success of its flagship title “Summoners War: Sky Arena,” which marked its 10th anniversary, and strong performance from its sports game portfolio. Baseball games featuring official Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) and Major League Baseball (MLB) licenses saw over 30% growth from the previous year.
International markets generated nearly 70% of gaming revenue, with overseas sales exceeding 100 billion won in the fourth quarter alone. The company returned to profitability in the fourth quarter with an operating profit of 2.6 billion won, compared to a 14.5 billion won loss a year earlier.
Looking ahead, Com2uS plans to launch “Baseball Rising” in Japan this March and expand its global footprint with “Summoners War: Rush,” which debuted in Thailand this week. The company is also preparing several new titles including MMORPG “The Starlight” and various publishing projects.
“We’re strengthening our AI research and development to enhance game development and service quality,” said a company representative. The developer plans to implement AI for game content creation, quality assurance, and player pattern analysis to improve operational efficiency.
The shift in strategy comes as Korean game companies face increasing pressure to innovate amid rising development costs and intense competition in the global mobile gaming market.
