<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/23/nexon-revenues-are-up-largely-driven-by-maplestory/">We reported back in August</a> that Nexon America had begun the third Quarter of 2009 with a very solid July; their revenue for the month grew 35% over the numbers for July 2008. Now that Q3 is over, they are happily touting some additional (and still impressive) figures. August 2009 beat out last year's August revenues by 32%, and September hit a lofty 44% growth in revenues compared to the same time in 2008. Overall, Nexon America's third quarter revenue grew 36% compared to Q3 2008.<br /><br />Nexon America's CEO David Kim pointed out that this success comes without the bump that releasing a new game often brings: <em>"Increasing our revenues without having added any new games to the company's portfolio for more than a year tells me that we are on the right track. Dungeon Fighter Online is just ramping up, so no revenues generated by that game are reflected in the outstanding third quarter we've had.</em><br /><br /><a href="http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/"><em>Dungeon Fighter Online</em></a> is still <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/dungeon-fighter-online-hits-open-beta/">in open beta</a>, but <a href="http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/News/View.aspx?boardNo=101&amp;contentNo=005hg&amp;pageIndex=1">an item mall has just been launched</a> for the game. We can only imagine that Nexon's growth will continue when these revenues begin to show up on future financial reports.<br /> <p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/16/nexon-americas-financials-continue-to-impress-in-q3/">Nexon America's financials continue to impress in Q3</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:00:00 EST.
