Overview
A Chinese video game developer and publisher known for MMORPG titles, operating across PC, mobile, and console gaming markets in China and internationally. Swung to a 2025 annual profit (RMB 730 million net profit on RMB 6.66 billion revenue), but Q1 2026 revenue fell 42.1% year-over-year to RMB 1.171 billion, and the company issued a first-half 2026 profit warning projecting a net loss of RMB 80-120 million due to heavy upfront promotional spending on its new game 'Neverness to Everness' (April 2026 global launch, over RMB 1.4 billion in cumulative gross revenue to be recognized over time starting Q3 2026).
