Tencent’s bid to create the next FromSoftware and Larian

Tencent Games, through its Interactive Entertainment and Game Global (IEG) division, is actively pursuing a long-term strategy to cultivate category-leading game studios capable of achieving the global success seen by developers like FromSoftware and Larian.

• Tencent is shifting its global strategy to cultivate category-leading studios capable of producing high-quality console and PC titles, modeled after the success of FromSoftware and Larian.
• The company currently manages approximately 20 studios worldwide, utilizing a 'long game' approach that prioritizes creative autonomy and operational support over rigid corporate oversight.
• Tencent is leveraging the global success of Chinese-developed titles like Black Myth: Wukong to bridge the gap between its traditional mobile-centric expertise and the high-end console market.
