Although the report seems promising Square Enix also reported losses in its amusement side of the business. The company’s amusement segment was shut down temporarily in Japan due to the global pandemic. The closure resulted in a decrease of sales by 25% year over year raking up only $310 million.

As for the current year, Square Enix predicts net sales of $3.1 billion; an increase of 2% year over year. Moreover, it also forecasts the operating and ordinary income to reach $365 million; a growth of 15% and 20% respectively.

With COVID-19 restrictions being softened gradually, the amusement segment will improve in the coming year. As for net sales, Square Enix should plan to launch a couple of big titles to further increase sales numbers. Stay with us for more updates on the gaming industry.
