Tencent agrees to publish Orcs Must Die Unchained MOBA in China

Online gaming is huge, and China is responsible for a big part of that growth. With that in mind, one developer is happily partnering with one of the country’s biggest game publishers.

Orcs Must Die Unchained developer Robot Entertainment is partnering with global gaming company Tencent to publish the multiplayer online arena battler in China. While Robot plans to operate Orcs in the West, it required some help bringing it East, and Tencent has plenty of experience with games like this thanks to its stake in League of Legends developer Riot Games. Like League, Unchained is a competitive online game where teams of players must use strategy to outwit an opposing team. Robot is mixing up that formula by introducing booby-trap mechanics that League or Dota 2 are missing.
