Rumour : BigWorld games licensing in China – The 9 & Netease

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009, posted by skg

from the Busy day in the East dept.

In what appears to be some significant licensing to-ing and fro-ing, we may be able to shortly confirm the following :

1) Netease (NTES) is publishing the BigWorld-powered ‘Tianxia 2′ in Taiwan through BigWorld licensee, Userjoy.
2) Userjoy themselves are publishing BigWorld-powered Kingdom Heroes II in mainland China through The9.

All of this is assumption and inference at the moment – stay tuned for confirmations.
