Gaming

A record Chinese presence at this year’s Gamescom points to an industry moving beyond scale toward greater creative diversity.

A major IP, a veteran MMO team, and a nine-figure RMB budget have given Kuaishou’s Spark Nexa every advantage except a guaranteed hit.

Tencent, Mihoyo, and other game companies are taking different paths toward AI, but increasingly see it as a competitive capability.

The footage offers the clearest look yet at the follow-up to Black Myth: Wukong.

A valuation of more than USD 1.5 billion could be enough for Alibaba to part with the gaming studio.

It may lack the gaming roots of Bilibili and HeyBox, but Xiaohongshu’s community dynamics can help smaller titles turn authenticity into attention.

Its strategy now spans indie publishing, platform-grown IP, and a broader slate of steadily advancing projects.

Some studios are betting on blockbuster ambitions, while others are sticking to lower-risk models that keep returns predictable.
