Netmarble Games 'Terra M' Net Marble Games, ranked No. 1 in domestic Apple App Store sales
According to industry sources, Tera M, which was developed by Blue Hall and published by Netmarble, ranked # 1 in the Apple App Store.
Terra M is a mobile game that embodies the character, graphics, and action of Tera, a PC online game of Blue Hall enjoyed by 25 million global users. On the 28th of the launch day, I also posted real-time queries.
NCsoft has been a leader in mobile MMORPG Lineage M in the domestic app market. In the case of the Apple App Store, the operating system was not popular because it was unable to launch a game version that could not be used by teenagers. In the case of Google Play, Lineage M, a non-youth version of "Linger" (a term referring to Lineage`s uncle), is reaping sales.
The industry is paying attention to whether NCsoft will be able to keep its throne against Netmarble`s new offensive. NCsoft posted sales of 727.65 billion won in sales of mobile games, up 488%, in line with Lineage M in the third quarter. That`s why the money you earn from Lineage M is enormous.
Netmarble, with its annual turnover of 2 trillion won, is contributing to sales, including long-term sales of `Lineage 2 Revolution` and `Marvel of All`. However, new titles `Terra M` and `Pate / Grand Grand Order` It is showing the will to discharge cash cow. However, it is unclear whether Terra M will become a long-term hit. On the afternoon, NCsoft will add a new server, Lineage M`s new "Dark Elf" and the first new server to defend. In addition, it seems to be crucial to overcome the negative reaction that Tera M is inducing excessive settlement, mainly in the social network service (SNS) and the Internet community.
A game industry official said, "Users need to settle for MMORPG growth, but if they demand it excessively, they may feel rejected." Netmarble has the capability to operate mobile MMORPG, I will do it. "
