Tencent Games at its annual conference this 2020 unveiled a new chapter in innovative gameplay and quality games with a roadmap of more than 40 game product updates, including new self-developed and licensed games with fan favorite intellectual property (IP) and partnerships. The Tencent conference was held online this year.

With the theme of “Spark More!”, the Tencent Games’ 2020 conference featured the introduction of Tencent Games’ new self-developed games and collaborations/partnerships with world-renowned IP owners, global game publishers and developers to offer new and exciting gaming experiences to players.

Tencent Senior Vice President Steven Ma opened the conference, revealing that Tencent Games’ strategy will revolve around three core elements – Technology, Gameplay and Storylines – that will drive the future evolution of the game industry.

“Globally, the popularity of new technologies is accelerating, the innovation cycle of gameplay is shortening, and the creation of story IP is also becoming richer.”
