Nexon posted sales of $380.3 million for Q4, down 6% year-on-year. It also saw a net income of $98.3 million for the quarter.

The quarter's revenues were driven by a successful Winter event held in the China release of PC game Dungeon&Fighter. Live ops in EA Sports FIFA Online 3 M in Korea and the launch of HIT in Thailand and Taiwan were also identified as having contributed significantly to revenues.

Looking ahead, Nexon is banking on the global launch of licensed IP Dynasty Warriors Unleashed as being a key driver of its Q1 revenues.

2017 will also see Nexon launch Lego Quest and Collect and Final Fantasy XI on mobile, which have the potential to be very big releases for the company.
