The briefing clarified GREE’s strategic priorities and financial outlook for the second quarter of FY2024. Recent events for Heaven Burns Red celebrated its two‑year anniversary, generating strong performance and reinforcing the company’s focus on successful titles. The decision to discontinue support for SINoALICE was framed as a timing choice aligned with the broader development trajectory of GREE’s Game and Anime Business, indicating a shift toward more promising projects.
Development activities continue to progress smoothly, though specific release dates remain undisclosed. In the VTuber segment, GREE plans aggressive investment to expand its talent pool and enhance competitiveness through its talent agencies. Talent auditions are evaluated on past streaming performance, character fit with the existing portfolio, and audience engagement capabilities.
Investment business conditions are described as improving; after a period of inflated valuations—particularly in the United States—market values have stabilized, creating a favorable environment for new investments. GREE’s established network in gaming and metaverse sectors positions it to accumulate additional investment assets.
Financial projections for the third quarter exclude the Investment Business, estimating consolidated operating income of approximately ¥1.5 billion. For the full fiscal year FY2024, the company forecasts consolidated operating income of roughly ¥5.0 billion under the same exclusion. These figures suggest a steady growth trajectory driven by core gaming, anime, and VTuber operations while maintaining a cautious stance on investment activities.
