Nexon Mobile Game DomiNations Surpasses $100 Million in Lifetime RevenueNexon, (3659.TO) a global leader in online games for PC and mobile, today released financial and player metrics that demonstrate the success of the company's strategy to develop high-quality games that sustain and grow player engagement beyond industry expectations. DomiNations, a North American mobile strategy game celebrating a two year anniversary this month, recently surpassed a key milestone of $100 million in revenue and more than 32 million players. The success of DomiNations affirms Nexon's stated goal of expanding its large global consumer base with highly innovative games in Western markets. "Nexon games are well-established with millions of deeply engaged players in Asia," said Owen Mahoney, President and CEO, Nexon. "The success of DomiNations in the US and Europe, is a proof point in our strategy for growing our business and engaging Western players with high quality games backed by a steady flow of new content." DomiNations follows in the steps of two other Nexon games, MapleStory and Dungeon&Fighter, which have both sustained growth for more than a decade. Nexon is applying the same know-how to grow games over a long time, now in the West. "Building online experiences for multi-year sustained growth is one of the most powerful ideas in games," Mahoney continued. "Nexon's creative philosophy rejects the 'pump-and-dump' trend that defines many games today. We deeply respect players who invest thousands of hours and build lastig friendships and communities through our games." Three games particularly exemplify Nexon's approach to sustained engagement: MAPLESTORY: The original side-scrolling MMORPG, launched 13 years ago, was largely responsible for introducing the concept of free-to-play to the western market, and is still one of Nexon's most successful and engaging titles.
DUNGEON&FIGHTER: One of Nexon's top franchises, this multiplayer PC game has been running strong for more than ten years, doubling its global revenue from 2011 to 2016.
DOMINATIONS: The debut mobile game from renowned developer Big Huge Games, this multiplayer strategy title has seen high engagement in the two years since launch thanks to a steady stream of updates based on historic real-world eras. Launch Date:
