On February 2, the Japanese publisher and developer GungHo Online Entertainment published the results for the 2017 fiscal year. For the company, it ended much worse than the previous one. The main reason is the drop in revenue of the main title GungHo, the Puzzle & Dragons card battler, which entered the mobile market six years ago.

The Japanese company GungHo has published its financial results for the second quarter. The company loses both in revenue and profit. The main reason is the drop in interest in her main game – Puzzle & Dragons battler.

Quarterly revenues of Japanese mobile developer GungHo Online Entertainment increased by 2.7% to $229 million compared to the previous quarter.

The Japanese company GungHo, 8 months after the release of the Chinese version of Puzzle & Dragons, is going to close it.
