Sumthing Else to release Tencent’s game soundtracks globally

Sumthing Else Music Works has cut a multi-title licensing agreement with Tencent Games to distribute soundtracks based on the Chinese company’s mobile games.

The deal between Shenzhen, China-based Tencent and the New York-based music label shows the companies think that Western audiences are interested in hearing the music that they hear in mobile games made in China. It seems weird, but I take this as another sign that gaming has gone global.
