China's Tencent buys 'Clash of Clans' maker Supercell for $8.6 billion
China's biggest gaming group Tencent Holdings is to buy a majority stake in 'Clash of Clans' mobile game maker Supercell from SoftBank Group Corp in a deal valued at roughly $8.6 billion.
The purchase will expand Tencent's interests overseas, as the Chinese video game and social network group still relies mainly on its home market even though it has stakes in various foreign studios like Epic Games and Riot Games.
Finnish mobile games maker Supercell will now have Tencent's backing as it pushes more aggressively into China's online gaming market. For Japanese internet and telecoms group SoftBank, the Tencent deal will mark its third major asset reshuffle in the past month.
Tencent will acquire about 84.3 percent of Supercell via a wholly-owned consortium, including all of SoftBank's 72.2 percent stake, it said on Tuesday. The sale is one of the world's biggest ever gaming deals.
The consortium will open up to co-investors, though Tencent expects to maintain a 50 percent voting interest, it said.
Supercell, also creator of 'Boom Beach' and 'Hay Day', has a handful of successful games and gets revenue from in-game purchases, helping it to avoid the problems faced by the likes of rival Rovio Entertainment, which has failed to create a new hit game since its 2009 launch of Angry Birds.
Skullgirls mobile game revealed, acts as a prequel and includes RPG elements
Skullgirls to Fight Its Way Onto Mobile Devices Later This Year
At a live panel at Anime Expo, mobile game developer Hidden Variable Studios, alongside Skullgirls franchise developer Lab Zero, announced that a Skullgirls mobile game is launching later this year. Created for both iOS and Android, Skullgirls distills the essence of a complex fighting game into a more casual, accessible mobile experience with RPG elements.
The mobile game is designed to tell complimentary stories to the console game, with the game’s first “season” acting as a prequel to the Console game. The mobile game features dozens of characters and special moves to collect and upgrade – from Parasite Weave Filia to Epic Sax Big Band. In addition, Skullgirls will have RPG progression, customization, team/deck building mechanics and a Fight Assist feature that lets players take on a more turn-based, tactical role in combat.
In light of the fact that the Skullgirls franchise has one of the most passionate fan bases in gaming, the team also announced a Closed Beta where fans can sign up today for a chance to download and play the mobile game in advance and provide feedback.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of Skullgirls, so the opportunity to bring this amazing cast of characters and unique fighting mechanics to mobile has been a labor of love for all of us over the past two years,” said Charley Price, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Hidden Variable Studios. “I think hardcore fans of the console game will really love the way we’ve captured the essence of fighting gameplay in a simpler, mobile-friendly package, whereas more casual fans will be able to enjoy an awesome accessible experience that explores new stories set in the Skullgirls universe.”
“Over the years, we’ve seen no shortage of proposals to do a simple mobile puzzle game with Skullgirls assets, and that’s not what Skullgirls is about,” said Peter Bartholow, CEO of Lab Zero Games. “But it was immediately clear that Hidden Variable understood the nuance, creativity and depth that made Skullgirls so popular, and we cannot wait for fans to check out the mobile game.”
Critically acclaimed for appealing to both hardcore fighting game fans and casual gamers, Skullgirls made its triumphant return to fans in 2013 after its developer Lab Zero’s successful Indiegogo crowd funding campaign. Most recently, Skullgirls 2nd Encore launched on the PS Vita on April 5th of this year. The global hit franchise has sold millions of copies across console and PC.
Skullgirls will launch later this year on iOS and Android. The mobile game is developed by Hidden Variable Studios and published by Autumn Games. Lab Zero developed the Skullgirls franchise.
