Tencent plans to withdraw its investment in multiple Japanese game studios, Tencent: Maintaining long-term focus on the Japanese game market

Recently, according to multiple foreign media reports, Tencent is in negotiations to exit its equity investments in several Japanese game studios, with Tokyo-listed company Marvelous becoming the core target of this round of divestment. The news revealed that Tencent is evaluating the minority stakes in its overseas studios one by one, and for targets where the synergistic value disappears and the returns are below expectations, they are even willing to sell the shares back to the original management team at a discount to cut losses and complete the exit. In response to the above actions, Tencent stated: "Gaming is one of Tencent's core businesses. We will continue to fully support our investment companies and maintain our long-term focus and investment in the Japanese gaming market."
