Thunder Fleet is Chinese mobile game studio Kingnet’s first foray into the West

Hard to starboard! Chinese games developer Kingnet Technology announced that its mobile naval game Thunder Fleet will be its first title released for Western markets.

The ship combat-based app will be available for iOS and Android devices, although we do not know when. Expansion westward could bring Kignet a lot more revenue. While market intelligence group Niko Partners expects the Chinese mobile games market to be worth $8.3 billion in 2017, the worldwide mobile market is worth $36 billion.
