『エルデンズ リング』とその DLC が角川ゲーム部門の売上増加を牽引
株式会社 KADOKAWA のセキュリティ侵害により 1,300 万ドルの損失が発生
6月27日、ハッカー集団Black Suitesがフロム・ソフトウェアの親会社である株式会社角川にサイバー攻撃を仕掛け、事業計画やユーザー関連情報を含む大量のデータを盗んだと主張した。角川書店は7月3日、流出にはドワンゴ全社員の個人情報、内部文書、一部関連会社社員のデータが含まれていることを認めた。
Gamebiz によると、カドカワ社が受けたセキュリティ侵害により同社は約 20 億円 (約 1,300 万米ドル) の損失を被り、純利益は前年同期比 10.1% 減少しました。それにもかかわらず、カドカワは2024年6月30日に終了する会計年度の第1四半期に好決算を達成しました。これは、6月8日に大規模なサイバー攻撃により同社のサービスの多くが停止されて以来、カドカワが発表する初めての財務報告書となる。
幸いなことに、現在は事業活動が完全に再開されています。出版・知財創作分野では、影響を受けた出版物の出荷は8月に入り徐々に回復し、8月中旬までには日々の出荷が通常に戻る見込みです。影響を受けた一部の主要なネットワーク サービスも、通常の運用を再開しようとしています。
同社のビデオゲーム部門は、売上高が前年比80.2%増の77億6,400万円、営業利益が108.1%増と大幅な成長を遂げた。この好調な業績は主に、ゲーム部門に大きな後押しをもたらした Elden's Ring とその DLC Elden's Ring: Shadow of the Snowy Tree によるものです。

The highly anticipated crossover between Sword of Convallaria and Delicious in Dungeon has officially kicked off with a thrilling month-long event, bringing together fans of both beloved franchises in a unique fusion of fantasy adventure and dungeon delving cuisine.
🌟 Event Highlights:
Themed Dungeons: Players can now enter specially designed "Culinary Catacombs" inspired by the whimsical yet perilous depths of Delicious in Dungeon. These dungeons feature monster recipes, edible enemies, and hidden ingredients that unlock exclusive crafting recipes.
New Characters: Introducing Sylphine, a hero from Sword of Convallaria reimagined as a dungeon chef, wielding her enchanted blade not to slay, but to "season" foes with magical spices. Meanwhile, Ludwig, the beloved chef from Delicious in Dungeon, joins the Sword of Convallaria world as a temporary ally, offering potions and battle-guiding tips based on his culinary wisdom.
Recipe-Based Combat: A new gameplay mechanic allows players to combine ingredients found in dungeons to create powerful "flavor-enhanced" abilities—such as Searing Saffron Strike or Mushroom Cloud Barrage—adding a delicious twist to traditional combat.
Exclusive Rewards: Complete daily quests, defeat themed bosses like the Goblin Gourmet King, and collect rare "Spice of the Realm" items to unlock limited-time skins, mounts (including the Custard-Covered Wyvern), and a special Sword of Baking Light.
Collaborative Story Arc: A serialized story mode explores how the two worlds collide—when a magical rift accidentally opens between the mythical realm of Convallaria and the cursed dungeon of Delicious in Dungeon. The fate of both worlds rests on balancing flavor, fury, and friendship.
🍲 Why Fans Are Raving:
The crossover has been praised for its clever fusion of Sword of Convallaria's epic fantasy storytelling and Delicious in Dungeon's unique blend of dungeon crawling and gourmet fantasy. Fans are particularly excited about the "taste-based" battle system, which turns combat into a flavorful experience—both literally and figuratively.
