今年7月，友谊时光上线了一款以国风武侠架空世界为背景的RPG游戏《墨剑江湖》，该游戏上线后迅速进入中国iOS游戏畅销榜Top50，跻身Vivo和小米飙升榜Top1、TapTap新品榜Top2。中金指出，公司游戏品类逐步扩张，下半年关注《墨剑江湖》及小游戏端起量、APP新游储备。从公司当前储备及部分已上线新游情况来看，在女性向之外亦有一定突破，如上述《墨剑江湖》即为偏男性向国风武侠类游戏。Friendtimes (06820) surged over 15%, as of the time of publication, it rose by 15.38%, trading at 0.6 Hong Kong dollars, with a turnover of 0.6662 million Hong Kong dollars.
According to the WiseFinancial APP, Friendtimes (06820) surged over 15%, as of the time of publication, it rose by 15.38%, trading at 0.6 Hong Kong dollars, with a turnover of 0.6662 million Hong Kong dollars.
On the news front, in the first half of this year, Friendtimes achieved revenue of 0.526 billion yuan (RMB, the same below); gross profit of 0.36 billion yuan. During the period, the total revenue increased by 20.7% compared to the second half of 2023, mainly due to the online launch of the Simplified Chinese version of 'Eternal Love of Dream' on January 2, 2024, and its subsequent availability in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and South Korea on March 21 and June 27, respectively; and the revenue increment brought by the online launch of the game 'Clouds Above' with monthly revenue exceeding tens of millions for several consecutive months.
In July of this year, Friendtimes launched an RPG game 'Ink Sword Jianghu' set in a Chinese martial arts fantasy world. After its launch, the game quickly entered the Top 50 of the best-selling games on the Chinese iOS platform, ranked Top 1 on Vivo and Xiaomi's rising list, and Top 2 on TapTap's new product list. CICC pointed out that the company's game categories are gradually expanding, and in the second half of the year, attention will be on the volume of 'Ink Sword Jianghu' and small game terminals, as well as new game reserves in the APP. Judging from the current reserves and some newly launched games of the company, there is a certain breakthrough beyond the female-oriented segment, as the aforementioned 'Ink Sword Jianghu' is a Chinese martial arts genre game leaning towards male players.
