Marvelous divides its video game activities into two categories: online game and consumer game. The first corresponds to mobile games known only in Japan, such as Senran Kagura: New Link. The segment’s latest game, Thousand Musketeers: Rhodoknight, was underperforming and led to a drop in smartphone profits: just 4.5 million euros, compared to more than 10 million euros a year ago.
Therefore, Marvelous is not a big player in the mobile game field, but is catching up with this group consumer game, with a profit of 38 million euros (31 million euros a year ago). Thanks to Rune Factory 5, after its release in the West, it has surpassed 500,000 copies worldwide as of March 31, 2022. Marvelous was also able to count on Pokémon Mezastar, an arcade game released in Japan in September 2020, and continued success.
Regarding its plans for the new fiscal year, the Daemon x Machina studio will be launching Deadcraft, a post-apo management/survival game, on consoles and PC in a few days. We’re also waiting for news on LOOP8, an RPG with an interesting looking setting. The PS4 port of Season Story: Heralds of Olive Town was also announced on July 28.
