- Konami has had its most profitable fiscal year in over a decade, making more than $500 million in pure profit.
- The company’s gaming business was a major reason for this, accounting for three quarters of the revenue.
- In addition, the Japanese giant saw a 17% growth in overall revenue, rising to $2.8 billion.
Konami has been making a gradual comeback in the gaming industry recently, having a strong showing last year with the Silent Hill 2 remake that skyrocketed its stock almost 100%.
With several Metal Gear titles also in the works, the Japanese giant is slowly earning back its rightful place at the top of the ladder. And, if there is anything that showcases this resurgence, it’s Konami’s financial results for the previous year, which are the company’s best in over a decade.
Why it matters: Konami is one of gaming’s most legendary companies, and the success of its IPs is positive for the industry.
As per the year-end report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Konami saw a robust increase in its net profit, with the amount rising 26.2% compared to last year. The company made ¥74.7 billion($509 million) in pure net profit in the recent financial year, its best numbers in the last 10+ years.
In addition, the Japanese giant saw a whopping 17% rise in overall revenue, with the company making ¥421.6 billion in the entire fiscal year, equivalent to roughly $2.8 billion.
Digital games were responsible for most of this revenue, with the sector showcasing 23% growth and making almost ¥100 billion($679 million) in pure profit, rising 25% from the previous fiscal year.
Furthermore, the Silent Hill series surpassed 11.5 million copies sold while Yu-Gi-Oh! has now shipped 32.3 million units globally. The digital entertainment and gaming sectors accounted for 3 quarters of the company’s overall revenue as per the financial report.
This remarkable performance is no surprise when you take the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake into account. The horror title topped 2 million sales just recently and was a massive success on the PS5 while also getting critical acclaim and GOTY nominations.
The developer Bloober Team also got a massive financial push thanks to the game’s performance, and it seems like Konami didn’t get left behind.
