Nexon has had a successful year in 2023, building on its strength in PC Online gaming in Korea with the launch of Wars of Prasia, solidifying Dungeon & Fighter in China, getting a breakthrough hit in Europe with Dave the Diver, and making MapleStory into a global smash hit. On the basis of these alone, the near-term outlook is good. However, it could be very good, should upcoming game The Finals deliver on its potential.
