The surprise June release of the Lies of P DLC, 'Lies of P: Prelude', has demonstrated its strong potential.

Neowiz announced its Q2 2025 financial results on the 8th. The company posted a quarterly revenue of 110 billion KRW, marking a 26.4% increase year-on-year and a 23.6% jump from the previous quarter. Operating profit hit 18.6 billion KRW, while net profit reached 12.8 billion KRW—a 292% and 66% rise respectively compared to the same period last year.

The primary driver behind this operating profit surge was the PC/console segment. Revenue from PC/console titles reached 57.5 billion KRW, a 54.3% increase year-on-year. This success is attributed to the sustained momentum of Lies of P and its DLC 'Lies of P: Prelude', alongside the well-received Blue Archive collaboration DLC and the new 'V Liberty 3' DLC for DJMAX Respect V. Meanwhile, mobile gaming revenue climbed to 44 billion KRW—a 9% year-on-year increase—bolstered by the second-anniversary celebrations of 'Brown Dust 2'. Other revenue streams brought in 8.5 billion KRW, a 10% decline compared to last year due to a downturn in the advertising business.

Operating expenses for the second quarter totaled 91.4 billion KRW, an 11.1% increase year-on-year. Labor costs took the largest share at 41.8 billion KRW, rising 5.4% as the company accounted for performance-based incentives linked to the success of the Lies of P IP. Following this, variable costs, which include payment processing fees, rose by 36.6% to reach 30.7 billion KRW.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, Neowiz plans to enhance the value of its flagship IPs and broaden its engagement with players. Beyond the inclusion of Lies of P in the PlayStation Plus 'Monthly Games' lineup for August, Round8 Studio is accelerating the development of new PC and console titles. The company also intends to maintain this momentum through offline events for DJMAX Respect V, new events for Brown Dust 2, and an expanded indie game publishing portfolio.
