On April 24, Samsung Securities analyzed that expectations for new releases from NCSOFT are growing, indicating potential for long-term stock price increases. According to analyst Oh Dong-hwan, "Anticipation in the market will rise again following the announcement of new, unrevealed titles, including Aion 2," adding that there is high investment appeal from a long-term perspective. Oh noted that NCSOFT has released in-game videos for five self-developed and published titles scheduled for launch by next year, including Aion 2.
He explained that the company is expanding its genre into shooting and subculture games while planning to outsource non-core genres to external developers. He particularly praised two titles currently in development: the open-world shooting game set in a multiverse Seoul titled "LLL" and the battle royale hero shooter "Time Takers," stating they show a high level of completeness, which has heightened anticipation for new releases. Oh further stated, "These shooting games are being developed as AAA titles for PC and console platforms, and they are expected to be released sequentially starting in the second half of next year.
" He also explained that NCSOFT is not content with RPGs that resemble "Lineage-like" games, but is developing a new MMORPG with a unique worldview to satisfy existing users..
