Tencent acquires a controlling 51% stake in Kuro Games, the developer behind the popular action RPG Wuthering Waves. This follows earlier rumors from March and solidifies Tencent's expanding influence in the gaming industry. The acquisition includes a 37% share purchase from Hero Entertainment, making Tencent the sole external shareholder.
Kuro Games has reassured employees that its independent operations will remain unchanged, mirroring Tencent's approach with other studios like Riot Games and Supercell. This acquisition is consistent with Tencent's history of significant investments in gaming companies, including Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and FromSoftware.
Wuthering Waves itself is thriving, with the current 1.4 update introducing the Somnoire: Illusive Realms mode, new characters, weapons, and upgrades. Players can utilize in-game codes for additional rewards. The upcoming 2.0 update promises even more, including the addition of the Rinascita nation, new characters Carlotta and Roccia, and a highly anticipated PlayStation 5 release, bringing the game to all major platforms.
Tencent's investment promises long-term stability for Kuro Games, ensuring continued development and expansion of Wuthering Waves and future projects.
