Tencent personally went off to focus on the development of 3A games. Tianmei Studio and 3A games always seem to be completely parallel lines, and there should be many players who love 3A games who scoff at Tencent. Penguin's dream of 3A games seems to have started long ago. In the early years, Tencent has been investing in various foreign game studios to concentrate on 3A game development. 1

Tianmei Studio and 3A games always seem to be completely parallel lines. When it comes to Tencent, there should be many players who love 3A games. I have always felt that Tencent is unlikely to make 3A products with large investment and low returns. But Tencent seems to be coming true this time! Tianmei team announced the opening of a new studio in Seattle. This time, Tencent Sword Finger 3A game will be an FPS shooting game for mainframe and PC.

When I heard this news, I quickly checked the relevant information, and found that Penguin's dream of 3A games seems to have started long ago. In the early years, I have been investing in various foreign game studios, including the development team "Game Science" behind the previous domestic Black Myth: Wukong, which was also invested by them.

And this Tianmei American studio has already started preparations last year. Scott Warner, a senior game developer, tweeted last year that he joined Tencent's Tianmei Studio as the director. This brother once served as the design director of Halo 4 and the game director of Battlefield: Hard Battle, which can be said to be an experienced elder brother. Last year, he hinted that Tianmei's special 3A studio was in Seattle or Los Angeles, and today's official announcement completely confirmed his statement.

according to what Tencent announced this time, the studio has 25 employees and has started recruitment. It seems that it is really prepared, and in an interview, Director Scott Warner revealed that the team is developing an original game, but the details will not be revealed until later. According to him, this game will be a first-person shooting competitive game, and it will also have continuous service. If there is no accident, we should mark the types such as Battlefield and COD.

Although it is Tianmei Studio, the core members seem to be experienced veterans, so the quality of finished products is probably guaranteed. But now because of the epidemic, they are all working from home, so the production speed should be slow, and we have to wait for a while to see the game preview.

It is understood that Tianmei Studio Group is the studio group responsible for developing high-quality mobile games under Tencent IEG (Interactive Entertainment Group), and has launched many well-known games including the glory of the king, QQ Speeding, Crossfire Mobile Games, Call of Duty Mobile Games, Reverse War, Cool Running Every Day, Love Eliminating Every Day and so on.

As early as March this year, it was reported that Tianmei Studio was developing 3A console games with unreal engine, and it was a cross-platform 3A masterpiece including the console platform. At the same time, Tianmei Studio is still recruiting globally, including domestic (Shenzhen, Shanghai, etc.) and overseas. According to reports, in terms of product positioning, Tianmei's 3A Open World masterpiece will include many games including FPS, and will be oriented to platforms such as game consoles/PCs/mobile terminals/next-generation terminals.

before that, Tianmei has reached a deep strategic cooperation with Microsoft Xbox Game Studios. It is reported that the two sides will carry out multi-dimensional and in-depth cooperation and exchanges, and * * * will create excellent game content to bring players a brand-new game sensory experience. And earlier, it was reported that the game of specific cooperation between the two sides will officially meet with players this year.

3A is still the face of the game company, which means whether a game company can really leave a temple-level position in the hearts of players, and Tencent's position in the hearts of players has been growing by saving 3A Studio at the earliest.

A few years ago, Ubisoft was maliciously acquired by Vivendi Group of France, and the struggle lasted for two years. At the critical moment of survival, it was Tencent's shareholding that finally saved Ubisoft and was praised by players, which changed players' views on capital strength. Platinum Studio is a small-scale studio with strong technical strength in Japan. It mostly does action outsourcing for well-known action games such as "The Devil May Cry", but the team size is still difficult to develop original games. Tencent's shareholding eased the financial pressure of Platinum Studio, and then it launched its first original brand.

After years of support and investment in the studio, players' attitudes towards Tencent and capital entry have completely changed until they invested in the developer Game Science of Black Myth: Wukong last year.

With the accumulation of investment, cooperation and development team, in a sense, Tencent's time, location and people in the 3A field are gradually converging, and it has entered the stage of exerting strength.
