Revenue
Last War: Survival set its revenue record and took first place in December with $147 million. 42% of revenue came from the US, 24% from Japan, and 17% from South Korea. Interestingly, China is not on the list of countries at all.
Royal Match ($126.2 million) and Whiteout Survival ($122.8 million) performed well in December. Both projects rose to the top 3 in revenue charts.
Honor of Kings showed its worst result since December 2021 - $100.7 million. However, it’s worth remembering that the game’s main audience is in China, and the main in-game events will coincide with the Chinese New Year (which happens in late January). For the past 3 years, the game’s revenue has grown significantly during this period.
Love and Deepspace is far ahead of all visual novels/dating sims. The game earned $42.7 million in December, 10 times more than its closest genre competitor and also the best month in the project’s history. It’s important to note that the game has RPG elements and Action combat - not typical features for this genre.
