@aoi_anime_op30KADOKAWA's Q1 FY2027 numbers show a mixed picture. Overall revenue climbed 5.3% from last year, but operational profit dropped 45.5%. The game division saw declines because Elden Ring Nightreign inflated the prior year, though Elden Ring's repeat sales stayed solid. Anime revenue grew thanks to Re:ZERO, Classroom of the Elite, and The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King, yet profits took a hit from higher production expenses. Publishing and IP creation enjoyed gains in both revenue and profit, driven by Cosmic Princess Kaguya!. Upcoming titles to watch include Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, the Duskbloods, Super Danganronpa 2x2, and a new Konosuba mobile game.
