For a publisher that works on free-to-play titles,
Nexon is bringing in lots of money. Today the Korean-based company announced that its worldwide revenues for 2009 went up a massive 56 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Even more significant is that for the first time in the company's history the majority of its revenues came from outside South Korea.
Nexon America increased its revenues by 31 percent in 2009 thanks to the popularity of games like the free-to-play shooter
Combat Arms. Nd it looks like the money shows no signs of slowing as the company announced that already in the first quarter of 2010 Nexon America increased its revenues by 28 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
Nexon also announced that its next game,
Dungeon Fighter Online, will officially launch in the US on June 9 after several months of beta testing. It will be showing off two upcoming games at next month's E3:
Vindictus (due out in late 2010) and
Dragon Nest (due in 2011).
