Tencent becomes major stakeholder in Wuthering Waves’ creator Kuro Games

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, with Tencent purchasing a 37% share from Hero Entertainment, becoming the sole external shareholder.

Kuro Games has assured its employees, in an internal memo, that its independent operations will remain unchanged. This mirrors Tencent's approach with other studios like Riot Games and Supercell, prioritizing developer autonomy. This acquisition is consistent with Tencent's extensive portfolio of investments in gaming companies, including Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and FromSoftware. This move significantly strengthens Tencent's presence in the action RPG market.

Wuthering Waves continues to receive significant updates. Version 1.4 recently introduced the Somnoire: Illusive Realms mode, two new characters, weapons, and upgrades. Players can also utilize in-game redeem codes for additional rewards.

The upcoming version 2.0 update promises even more, introducing the new nation of Rinascita, along with characters Carlotta and Roccia. Crucially, version 2.0 will also mark the game's launch on PlayStation 5, making it available across all major platforms.

Tencent's investment secures Kuro Games' long-term stability, promising a bright future for Wuthering Waves and future projects.
