The company operates multiple game brands and IPs including That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: New World, Mecha Party (VR multiplayer game on PlayStation and Steam), Gods of War: Shadow Princess, and numerous classic franchises like Mobile Suit Gundam Series and OVERLORD. Kingnet holds a rich reserve of 22 new products in development, positioning itself for sustained growth. The company has developed an internal 'Xingyi' large model application deployed since April 2024 that enhances development efficiency through AI-powered animation, scene, and code generation.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Kingnet demonstrates solid execution with strong IP portfolio diversification, emerging AI capabilities for development, recent profitability improvements, and strategic overseas expansion.
