Tencent Reportedly Developing Mobile Version of “Elden Ring”
According to sources familiar with the project, Tencent is reportedly in the process of developing a mobile version of the highly acclaimed console game “Elden Ring.” This move comes after the Chinese tech giant acquired the licensing rights for the game from Japanese developer FromSoftware back in 2022. The goal is to revitalize their game portfolio with this new venture.
وفيما يلي بعض النقاط الرئيسية حول هذا التطور المثير:
– A dedicated team at Tencent has been working on a prototype since acquiring the rights, although progress has been described as slow.
– “Elden Ring,” a collaboration between “Game of Thrones” author George R. R. Martin and renowned game designer Hidetaka Miyazaki, has been a massive success since its release, selling around 20 million copies in its first year.
– Unlike the original game’s premium, one-time purchase model, Tencent plans to adapt “Elden Ring” into a free-to-play mobile game with in-app purchases, following a strategy similar to that of “Genshin Impact” by miHoYo, a competitor in the Chinese market.
It’s worth noting that while past successes like “PUBG Mobile” continue to generate significant revenue, Tencent’s more recent releases have not met expectations.
The big question now is: Are you looking forward to Elden Ring hitting mobile devices? This anticipated release would likely be available on iOS and Android platforms.
