Summary
₩192.6 billion in second-quarter revenue missed Pearl Abyss's guidance, while operating profit dropped 68.1% to ₩67.6 billion and net profit fell 58.3% to ₩70.9 billion.
Crimson Desert's March launch tailwind eased after a first-quarter earnings surge, and the company cited channel sales splits, regional pricing differences, physical-package recognition lags and refund-guarantee deferrals.
2.11 million Crimson Desert copies sold in the quarter generated ₩136.1 billion, with digital accounting for 82% of units; North America and Europe supplied 75% of revenue, and console still made up 34%.
Pearl Abyss now sees full-year revenue at ₩709.8 billion to ₩743.8 billion and operating profit at ₩315.5 billion to ₩345.2 billion, while preparing DLC, a Switch 2 launch in H1 2027 and DokeV in H2 2028.
