This announcement extends Gravity’s Ragnarok franchise with Ragnarok Origin Classic launching on both PC and mobile across Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia on March 26, 2026. It follows several recent regional launches and preliminary FY 2025 results showing KRW 560 billion in revenue and KRW 77 billion in operating profit. Investors may focus on user adoption, monetization of the monthly pass system, and how this title contributes to stabilizing or improving recent quarterly profit trends.

Recent Company History
Over the last few months, GRVY has combined steady Ragnarok franchise expansion with softer financial trends. A December 25, 2025 China launch for Ragnarok: Rebirth and multiple January 2026 regional launches extended its global MMORPG footprint. However, preliminary Q4 2025 results on February 13, 2026 showed revenue and operating profit declines. Today’s multi‑region launch of Ragnarok Origin Classic continues the strategy of leveraging the Ragnarok IP across new platforms and territories.

mmorpgtechnical
"an MMORPG Mobile and PC game, in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau"
A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a persistent virtual world where large numbers of players interact, complete tasks, and develop characters over time, like a digital playground or long-running TV series you can join. Investors care because these games generate ongoing revenue through subscriptions, in-game purchases, or expansions and rely on player numbers and engagement—similar to a membership club—so retention and network effects drive long-term cash flow and growth potential.
operating profitfinancial
"with operating profit KRW 12 billion, down 18.6% QoQ and 12.9% YoY"
Operating profit is the amount of money a company makes from its core business activities after subtracting the costs directly related to running those activities, such as wages and supplies. It shows how efficiently a company is generating profit from its main operations, serving as a key indicator for investors to assess its financial health and profitability before considering other expenses like taxes or interest.
unauditedfinancial
"reported preliminary unaudited results for Q4 2025 and business updates"
"Unaudited" describes financial statements or reports that have not been examined or verified by an independent accountant or auditor. Because they haven't undergone this review, they may not be as reliable or accurate as audited reports, making them less certain for investors to rely on when assessing a company's financial health. Think of it as a preliminary estimate that could change once checked by an expert.
form 3regulatory
"has filed an initial statement of beneficial ownership on Form 3"
Form 3 is the initial public filing that officers, directors and large shareholders must submit to report their ownership of a company’s securities when they become insiders. It acts like an opening inventory sheet that gives investors a starting point to see who holds significant stakes and to spot later trades or potential conflicts of interest, helping assess insider confidence and transparency.
beneficial ownershipregulatory
"Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
"no derivative securities positions for this reporting person"
Financial contracts whose value is tied to the price or performance of another asset, such as a stock, bond, commodity, index, or currency; examples include options, futures and swaps. They matter to investors because they let you protect against price swings, bet on future moves or gain larger exposure with less upfront cash—like using a lever or insurance policy on an investment—so they can amplify gains and losses and help manage portfolio risk.
