The quarterly figures of the Korean MMO giant NCSoft paint a clear picture.
The quarterly figures of NCSoft for the first quarter of 2016 are here, and they depict the picture that analysts have already expected.
Blade and Soul is doing incredibly well, leaving Guild Wars 2 behind. Previously, they had been roughly even over the years. With the Western launch, Blade & Soul has now significantly grown and is almost solely responsible for a strong first quarter for NCSoft, while Lineage, Lineage 2, and Aion remain rather stable.
Guild Wars 2 could not fully confirm the strong winter quarter with “Heart of Thorns” and lost a bit in the first quarter again.
For the struggling WildStar, the situation looks much bleaker at a significantly lower overall level. The Free2Play momentum from the last quarter of 2015 has fizzled out, and they are at a new record low.
