Nexon America announced a record-breaking month of growth throughout its portfolio of games in July, and posted a huge 35 percent increase in revenues when compared to the same time last year.
Leading the way for Nexon America’s growth is its blockbuster hit MapleStory, a massively multiplayer online role playing game. MapleStory set a new record in July, with more than 70,000 max concurrent users. This marks continued growth for the North American service, which has more than six million registered users and is part of MapleStory’s 92 million total worldwide.
While most of the video games industry has been mired with losses this year – the NPD Group reported industry revenues dropped 29 percent for July compared to July of 2008, Nexon America has been aggressively marketing its products with a positive result.
