事業および業績の動向

ゲーム事業は引き続き主要な成長ドライバーであり続けました。オンラインゲーム売上高の前年同期比10%増は、自社開発タイトルの貢献が高まったことによるものです。一方、前四半期比では、一部の自社開発タイトルおよびライセンスタイトルの苦戦により、売上高はわずかに減少しました。

リスクおよび注視すべき点

• 一部の自社開発およびライセンスタイトルの減収により、オンラインゲーム売上高は前四半期比で2%減少しました。
• 第2四半期の非GAAP純利益は、主に投資損失の影響で前年同期比減少となりました。
• 経営陣は、最近リリースされたタイトルの1つが中国国内でユーザーから大きな批判を受けたことを認めました。序盤の習得難易度（ラーニングカーブ）が十分に緩和されておらず、初期のプレイヤー体験に影響を与えました。
• 現在テスト中のゲームのリリース時期は、さらなるブラッシュアップとプレイヤー体験に対する経営陣の評価に引き続き依存しています。
• 網易は『Ananta』で競争が激しい都市型オープンワールドのジャンルに参入するため、製品の差別化、コンテンツの質、ゲームプレイの設計が重要な実行要因となります。

アナリストQ&Aの要点

経営陣によると、電話会議で議論された最近リリースのタイトルに対するプレイヤーの心象は、頻繁なコンテンツ更新と体験の最適化を受けて改善しつつあるとのことです。チームは序盤のコンテンツを簡素化して参入障壁を下げ、コアプレイヤーへのサービス提供を継続する計画です。経営陣はその長期的なポテンシャルに自信を示したものの、定量的見通しは示しませんでした。

『Ananta』について経営陣は、開発がスケジュール通りに進行しており、チームがゲームプレイ体験を磨き上げていると述べました。網易は物語の独自性、世界観の設定、ゲームプレイデザインを通じて、この都市型オープンワールドRPGの差別化を図る計画です。

開発パイプラインが絞り込まれ、既存ゲームの比較対象ベースが高水準にある中で、どのように成長を維持する計画かという質問に対し、経営陣はプレミアム製品への投資意欲を改めて表明しました。また、AIを開発の加速やユーザー体験の向上をもたらす増幅器と位置付けました。

現在テストを実施している2つのゲームについて、経営陣はリリース日を明記しませんでした。両製品とも集中的なブラッシュアップが続けられており、ユーザーの期待を満たせる段階に達した時点でリリースすると述べました。
