The team is focused on expanding influence outside the domestic market, continuing adaptation to global trends.
In 2024, the key activities were the promotion of Crimson Desert, for the Black Desert and EVE intellectual itself, as well as preparation for new releases. One of the significant events was the launch of Black Desert in China, which contributed to an increase in the total revenue of IP to 2.6 trillion of Korean won.

Despite the operational loss of 12.3 billion won, Pearl Abyss completed a year with a net profit of 60.3 billion won, which is associated with financial transactions and the sale of assets. The total revenue amounted to 342.4 billion won, showing an increase of 2.7% compared to the previous year. The main part of the income (81.4%) provided foreign markets.
