Snail, Inc. expects to recognize approximately $11 million from its deferred revenue balance in the third quarter of 2026, tied to the launch of the Genesis Part 1 Ascended DLC for ARK: Survival Ascended. CFO Heidy Kingwan Chow said the company's second-quarter net revenue of $19.7 million was affected by a timing shift, as the ARK: Tides of Fortune and Genesis Part 1 Ascended content launched in early July rather than June, moving the related contribution into the third quarter. Chow also noted that the net loss improved to $3 million from $16.6 million a year earlier, primarily due to the absence of a $14 million income tax provision, while bookings were $21.8 million compared to $27.1 million. Senior VP Peter Kang highlighted that ARK: Survival Ascended sold approximately 1.2 million units and Bellwright reached the top five paid games on Xbox, and introduced a new AI initiative called Non-Human Player under subsidiary Egofold.
