North Carolina's overseas revenue is projected to become a more significant portion of its overall sales in the near future, as the game developer plans to broaden its intellectual properties (IPs) to appeal to international markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. According to the company's earnings report, overseas revenue made up 52 percent of its total sales in the second quarter of 2026, surpassing the midpoint and rising for the fourth straight quarter.
This trend of increased global sales share followed NC's expansion of services for its main IPs and its ongoing success with titles designed for global audiences. As the company's revenue structure transitions from a domestic focus to a greater overseas presence, it is also shifting its development strategy to prioritize global markets.
In Japan, NC is aiming to diversify its game offerings, launching Astraea Oratio, a subculture-themed role-playing game (RPG) title. Research firm Oshikatsu Soken notes that Japan's subculture game market is valued at 3.5 trillion yen, indicating a strong consumer base for subculture content spanning animation and fan-created works.
