Investor Relations

Our MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online game) sub-segment’s earnings came primarily from game operations in the fiscal year ended March 2021, as it was an off year for expansion packs. Development efforts are underway for expansion packs that we will release in the fiscal year ending March 2022 (the current fiscal year), and we are looking forward to generating a lot of excitement in the latter half of the fiscal year. MMO games are one pillar of our recurring income, and we intend to continue to evolve and grow them with increasing momentum.

Our Games for Smart Devices/PC Browsers sub-segment released new titles including “DRAGON QUEST TACT,” “OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Tairiku no Hasha,” and “NieR Re[in]carnation.” As a tactical role-playing game, “DRAGON QUEST TACT” has brought new appeal to the DRAGON QUEST franchise. The response to the game has been tremendous ever since its launch in July 2020, and it has quickly grown into a mainstay of our smartphone game lineup. “OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Tairiku no Hasha” and “NieR Re[in] carnation” are titles developed for smartphones using new IP originally created for HD games. They are part of our efforts to expand our earnings, and I see the positive response that they have garnered from our customers as a major achievement. By consciously endeavoring to leverage the same IP across multiple segments in this way and thereby to sustain an IP ecosystem, I believe that we can add depth to our recurring income pool.
