The announcement establishes the global early‑access release date for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault on PC as October 23, 2025.

The release schedule reflects a strategic focus on the PC market, leveraging major digital storefronts to maximize initial reach. By postponing console launches, the publisher can concentrate resources on polishing the PC experience and gathering player feedback during early access.

The communication is issued by the Management Board of 11 bit Studios, underscoring corporate governance and regulatory compliance. The statement cites Article 17.1 of MAR – Inside information as the legal basis, indicating that the release date is considered material information for investors.

The briefing presents the first‑half financial performance of Marvelous Inc. for the fiscal year ending March 2026, covering April–September 2025. Net sales surged 157.5 % to ¥20,281 million, driven by the launch of three core video‑game titles—“Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma,” “STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar,” and “DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION”—and robust sales of Pokémon‑branded amusement machines. Segment analysis shows Digital Contents Business revenue rising 198.7 % to ¥12,414 million, while Amusement Business increased 136.3 % to ¥5,982 million; Audio & Visual Business declined 84.0 %. Operating profit fell 38.2 % to ¥226 million due to elevated development costs, yet ordinary and net income rose 102.0 % and 234.7 %, respectively, largely from a shift to foreign‑exchange gains.

The company forecasts full‑year net sales of ¥35,000 million (125.2 % of FY2025), operating profit of ¥2,000 million (110.0 % increase), and a dividend uplift to ¥12 million per share, maintaining the initial earnings outlook. Cash flow improved markedly: operating cash inflows rose from a negative ¥786 million to ¥5,822 million, and net cash increased by ¥5,274 million to ¥12,386 million. Asset growth was modest, with total assets rising by ¥1,424 million and net assets slightly declining due to higher liabilities.

Methodologically, figures derive from consolidated financial statements for the semi‑annual period; no survey data are cited. The report covers Japan, North America, Europe, and Asia for game sales, and includes detailed segment‑level performance. The outlook remains unchanged, with emphasis on sustaining momentum from the newly released titles and existing online properties.

Nacon reported a robust 2019/20 fiscal year, with sales rising to €129.4 million—an increase of 14.4% from the prior year—and a gross margin expanding to 61.1 % of sales, up 26.7 percentage points largely due to a surge in digital game revenue (48.9 million €). EBITDA climbed 45.0% to €48.4 million, representing 37.4 % of sales, while current operating income surged 80.3% to €22.6 million (17.5 % of sales). After accounting for non‑recurring bonus share expenses and a modest financial loss, net profit reached €15.3 million, up 41.8% and translating to €0.18 per share.

The balance sheet strengthened markedly: shareholders’ equity rose from €67.5 million to €187.6 million, driven by a €103 million capital increase following the March 2020 IPO. Cash stood at €110.9 million, and net debt turned negative at €42.8 million after excluding IFRS‑16 lease liabilities.

Geographically, Nacon operates in 100 countries with a workforce of over 510 employees across eight studios. The company’s outlook for FY 2020/21 projects sales between €140–150 million and a current operating margin near 18%, building on its “NACON 2023” strategy to accelerate growth in both games and accessories. Planned investments target AA‑grade titles, studio acquisitions, 5G cloud gaming, and Game‑as‑a‑Service models, while premium accessory development—highlighted by the RIG™ headset acquisition—aims to broaden market reach. The board reaffirmed financial targets for FY 2022/23, anticipating sales of €180–200 million and a current operating margin above 20%.

Nacon reported FY 2020/21 sales of €177.9 million, a 37.5 % increase over the previous fiscal year and surpassing the revised target of €160–170 million. Gaming revenue remained flat at €69.1 million, while accessories sales surged to €103.2 million, up 96.1 %. The accessories boom was driven by premium RIG® headsets, licensed controllers, and new Xbox Series X|S accessories launched late in the year. Back‑catalogue game sales tripled to €31 million, contributing high margins and offsetting a slight decline in overall game sales. Digital game sales rose to 75 % of Q4 revenue, up from 70 % the prior year.

Quarterly performance highlighted a strong fourth quarter: €42.6 million in sales, a 68.7 % increase over Q4 2019/20, with gaming and accessories both outperforming. The company’s strategy, outlined during its March 2020 IPO, included acquisitions of Neopica, Passtech Games, and BigAnt Studios, expansion into the U.S. market with RIG® accessories, and a licensing agreement with Microsoft for Xbox Series X|S. These moves are expected to lift sales and operating margins in FY 2022/23 and 2023/24.

Nacon confirmed a 18 % operating income rate for FY 2020/21 and plans to revise its 2023 guidance upward. The company operates globally, with a distribution network in 100 countries and over 510 employees across 17 subsidiaries.

Nacon reported a robust FY 2020/21 performance, with sales rising 37.4 % to €177.8 million and current operating income increasing 43.8 % to €32.5 million, representing 18.3 % of sales. Gross margin improved to 52.6 % from 61.1 %, while EBITDA grew 24.7 % to €60.3 million (33.9 % of sales). Net profit reached €18.2 million, up 19.6 %, after accounting for a €5.1 million bonus‑share expense, a €1.5 million financial charge and €7.7 million in tax. Operating cash flow surged 146 % to €55.7 million, sufficient to cover CAPEX of €56.4 million and bank repayments, leaving cash and equivalents at €96.7 million.

The company attributes growth to premium accessories, successful U.S. expansion, and a tripling of back‑catalogue sales. Forecasts for FY 2021/22 have been raised to €180–200 million in sales with a 20 % operating margin, driven by digital catalogues and new titles such as RIMS Racing and Blood Bowl 3. For FY 2022/23, sales targets are further increased to €230–260 million, maintaining a margin above 20 %, supported by studio acquisitions and high‑profile releases like The Lord of the Rings.

Nacon, listed on Euronext Paris (ISIN FR0013482791), operates through 18 subsidiaries and a distribution network covering 100 countries, employing over 600 staff. The board has opted to retain earnings for reinvestment rather than distribute a dividend in FY 2020/21.

Nacon reported Q3 2020/21 sales of €48.7 million, a 20.3 % increase over the same period in 2019/20, driven primarily by a surge in gaming accessories and back‑catalogue sales. Accessories grew 58.7 % to €32.5 million, largely due to the RIG® headset line and licensed controller sales, while back‑catalogue revenue jumped 216 % to €6.9 million, reflecting high‑margin older titles. Game sales fell 19.7 % to €13.8 million, with only two new releases (Monster Truck® and Handball 21) and a digital sales share of 74.4 %. Other revenue, mainly mobile and audio, declined 16.3 % to €2.3 million.

Cumulative sales for the first nine months rose 29.9 % to €135.3 million, with accessories contributing a 90.5 % increase and back‑catalogue sales up 24.9 million versus €7.5 million in the prior year. The company projects Q4 growth, citing upcoming releases such as Werewolf® : The Apocalypse – Earthblood and new console versions of Monster Truck®, Tennis World Tour 2, and Hunting Simulator 2. Digital sales, back‑catalogue momentum, and a robust order book for RIG® headphones are expected to sustain the upward trajectory.

Nacon confirms its annual target of €160–170 million in sales with an 18 % operating margin, and it has announced the acquisition of Australian studio Big Ant to strengthen its sports‑game portfolio. No dividend will be paid in 2020/21, as funds are earmarked for studio acquisitions and development. The company maintains a 2023 plan targeting €180–200 million in sales with an operating margin above 20 % for 2022/23.

Nacon reported a 24.5 % rise in first‑quarter sales for FY 2020/21, reaching €38.0 million against €30.5 million in the same period a year earlier, confirming its annual financial targets. The growth was driven primarily by accessories and digital game sales. Accessories surged 134.9 % to €22.5 million, propelled by the launch of the RIG premium headset line and a new U.S. subsidiary. Digital game sales, which accounted for 80.7 % of total game revenue, offset a decline in new releases; back‑catalogue sales jumped 340 % to €10.8 million, matching the entire previous year’s back‑catalogue volume.

Game sales fell to €14.5 million from €20.0 million due to a strong comparison base of major titles released in the prior fiscal year, but the accelerated digital channel and successful releases such as Hunting Simulator 2 and Pro Cycling Manager/Tour de France 2020 mitigated the impact. Other revenue categories remained flat.

Geographically, Nacon operates through 16 subsidiaries and a distribution network spanning 100 countries, with recent expansion into the United States. The company’s outlook for Q2 and the remainder of FY 2020/21 remains positive, citing upcoming releases (WRC 9, Tennis World Tour 2, Monster Truck Championship), continued digital momentum, and a new partnership with Microsoft for console‑compatible controllers. Nacon projects FY 2020/21 sales between €140–€150 million and a 18 % operating margin, while maintaining its 2023 plan targets of €180–€200 million sales and over 20 % margin for FY 2022/23.
