1)Korean/Japanese free-to-play publisher Nexon (3659.TO) has announced its FY13 Q3 financials for the three months ending 30 September 2013.

Revenue was $406 million (¥39.9 billion), up 64 percent year-on-year.

However, over half of this percentage growth was due to the weakness of the Japanese Yen against international currencies.

Nexon’s two biggest markets are China (around 40 percent of Q3 revenue) and Korea (30 percent).

Nexon had net income of $81 million (¥8 billion), up 10 percent year-on-year.

It ended the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $1.1 billion (¥104 billion).

Riding high

In terms of its mobile business, revenue was $70 million (¥6.9 billion).

This is over ten-fold higher than 12 months ago because Nexon spent $470 million buying Japanese publisher gloops in October 2012.

For the quarter, mobile accounted for 17 percent of total sales.

In terms of specific titles, Nexon pointed to the strong performance of KartRider Rush Plus in China and Fantasy Runners for Kakao in Korea.

In Japan, gloops released it first co-developed game with DeNA – Dragon Eclipse.(source:Pocketgamer

2)Webkinz creator Ganz Studios has officially introduced its newest game, Amazing World, a colorful free-to-play browser game, powered by Unity. Aimed at players ages six and up, Amazing World offers light 3D massively multiplayer online (MMO) gameplay, as gamers can create an avatar, complete quests and customize a home in the virtual world.

Amazing World’s storyline asks players to complete enough quests and challenges to eventually stop the evil Queen Vexa, a critter who wishes to destroy the Amazing World. She attacks players early on, stranding them without a home or much of anything in the way of resources, but players are introduced to other critters that can help them build their home, create a garden, and more.

Players in Amazing World are guided through the story by a simple quest system, with prompts that help younger players know exactly what to do without getting confused. They’ll earn experience points and currency for completing tasks, and can use their rewards to purchase items in the store, including new clothing items for their avatars. There are multiple “species” of characters to choose from, so each player can look different from the next.

To make things easier for younger players, many quests in Amazing World contain “do it” buttons, which toggle a large arrow on the screen, guiding players to the exact location to pick up collectibles, meet new characters, and so on.

An in-game chat system allows for social interaction between players, and users can also work with others to chase away the evil Nix, Queen Vex’s minions. Combat is virtually nonexistent, and instead asks players to simply walk over or run into enemies to automatically chase them away.(source:insidesocialgames.com

3)FIFA 14 is the franchise’s first shot at the free-to-play market, and 26 million downloads later (iOS and Android), it’s safe to say that the transition to the new pricing model has paid off  more than anyone anticipated.

In fact, the numbers are so high, FIFA 14’s launch has been the second most successful in EA history, falling just short of the numbers Plants vs. Zombies 2 put up earlier this year.

According to EA, FIFA 14 hit the #1 Top Free Games spot in 148 countries on iOS, and is also one of the Top 10 grossing games on iPhone in 115 countries.

And the number of users is only going to rise now that EA Sports’ announced today that FIFA 14 will also be coming soon to Windows Phone 8 devices above 512 MB RAM.

4)We may not have a mobile version of World of Warcraft, but Blizzard will provide the next best thing.

The company announced that it will release its highly anticipated free-to-play card battle game,Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, sometime in mid-2014, for both iOS and Android devices.

Lucky Blizzcon attendees can check out a near-complete version of Hearthstone on the show floor. We’ll have more details on its release in the months ahead. In the meantime, enter our Hearthstone beta contest for a chance to play the game early.(source:games.com
