CyberAgent subsidiary and game developer QualiArts announced that their annual profits have soared by 6214% over the past financial year. Established in 2016, QualiArts is known for developing and running mobile games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by ITMedia<\/a>, QualiArts released their results for the current fiscal year (spanning from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024) today. Net profit totaled 3,107 million yen- a staggering 6214% year-on-year increase compared to the previous financial year\u2019s 50 million. Net assets were up by 249% to 7,635 million yen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This astronomical increase in profits is believed to be driven by Gakuen Idolmaster, a mobile game that combines idol-raising with Slay the Spire-style deck building<\/a>. Jointly developed and operated with Bandai Namco, the game has been downloaded over 2 million times since its release in May. It also won Best Game in the Google Play Best of 2024 awards<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
