The mobile gaming industry has once again witnessed a significant development in the international market with the celebrated title War Robots' revitalized presence in China. MY.GAMES, the developer of this esteemed mobile shooter game, has successfully negotiated the game's re-entry into the Chinese market in collaboration with their third-party publishing ally, iDreamSky.
War Robots is not your average mobile game. Launched nearly a decade ago, it has established itself as an omnipotent force within the gaming community. Garnering a massive player base of over 250 million registered users and a lifetime gross revenue that towers at a staggering $750 million, the game has defied the typical life cycle norms of mobile gaming.
As we sail through the digital expanse of 2023, the Asia-Pacific region has carved out over half of the game's global player demographic, with China alone accounting for 40% of that statistic. This places China at the epicenter of War Robots' strategic market expansion, highlighting the country's indomitable presence as a cornerstone in the mobile gaming industry. This is not surprising considering that China boasts nearly a quarter of the world’s mobile gamers and is responsible for about 30% of the global revenue generated from mobile gaming.
The Chinese market is already acquainted with the thrill that War Robots offers. Previously available before the institution of the ISBN publishing license—a necessary accreditation for games in the Chinese market—War Robots had rapidly catapulted to be among the top three games on the App Store within China in 2021.
Despite its temporary absence from the Chinese gaming topography, the demand and the charm for War Robots have remained undiluted. This reintroduction is more akin to a grand homecoming; the game's hiatus has only amplified its desirability and the anticipation for its re-entry into China’s thriving mobile gaming sector.
Leveraging their long-standing expertise, iDreamSky has been fundamental in attaining the critical ISBN from the State Administration of Press and Publication, which is a testament to the meticulous effort and unwavering commitment from both parties to propel War Robots back into the limelight in China. Alex Sorbac, Business Development Director at iDreamSky, shared the excitement and optimism enveloping this partnership. He shed light on the distinctive attributes of War Robots that have cemented its position as a captivating third-person PVP (player versus player) experience.
Understanding the pulsating market dynamics and the voracious appetite of Chinese players for shooters and competitive games, iDreamSky brings an experienced publishing team to the table, with all eyes set on the successful launch of this localized version. As they eagerly anticipate the game's surge within China, it is crystal clear that this collaboration seeks to fortify and expand upon the already robust War Robots franchise.
The resurgence of War Robots in China marks a new chapter not only for MY.GAMES and iDreamSky but for the millions of avid Chinese gamers who have patiently awaited the game’s second advent. With its return, the landscape of mobile shooters in China is expected to be both invigorated and enriched, ushering in a new era of entertainment and competition.
Present-day players who call China their home can rejoice as they are now able to reconnect with the virtual battlefield that War Robots offers. Through the seamless integration with China’s mobile platforms, gamers can once again immerse themselves in this prolific gaming experience. Whether you're an old fan yearning for the nostalgia of combat or a new recruit eager to dive into the fray, War Robots Remastered stands ready for download and poised to dominate the gaming charts yet again.
