Tencent's Acquisition of Kuro Games: A Boost for Wuthering Waves and Beyond
Tencent has acquired a 51% controlling stake in Kuro Games, the developer behind the popular action RPG, Wuthering Waves. This follows earlier rumors in March and solidifies Tencent's continued expansion within the gaming industry. The deal involves purchasing a 37% share from Hero Entertainment, making Tencent the sole external shareholder.
Reassuringly, an internal memo from Kuro Games confirms that the studio will maintain its operational independence, mirroring Tencent's approach with other acquired studios like Riot Games and Supercell. This ensures creative control remains largely with the developers.
Tencent's investment in Kuro Games is a strategic move, given its extensive portfolio of gaming investments, including stakes in Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and FromSoftware. This acquisition significantly strengthens Tencent's presence in the adventure RPG market.
Wuthering Waves itself is experiencing significant growth. The current version 1.4 update features the new Somnoire: Illusive Realms mode, two new characters, weapons, and upgrades. Players can also utilize in-game codes for additional rewards.
The upcoming version 2.0 update promises even more, introducing the new explorable nation, Rinascita, along with characters Carlotta and Roccia. Crucially, this update will also mark the game's launch on PlayStation 5, making it available across all major platforms.
Tencent's investment provides Kuro Games with enhanced long-term stability, paving the way for future success for Wuthering Waves and subsequent projects.
