Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3. The event brings together 500 executives, founders, investors and tech leaders shaping the $200 billion interactive economy for candid discussions on gaming, entertainment, technology and AI, plus executive networking and opportunities to build partnerships and close major deals.
Unity chief executive officer John Riccitiello will partner with Tencent to support Tencent Cloud. This will be available later this year. Riccitiello made the announcement during Unity’s press event at Game Developers Conference 2019 in San Francisco.
Tencent Cloud is a cloud computing service from China’s largest game company. It promises a secure and high-power service.
Riccitiello noted that this will help Unity developers penetrate China, which is the largest gaming market in the world.
China has strict regulations that make it difficult to sell games in the country without working with a native company, like Tencent. Unity also revealed that Tencent is helping make Call of Duty Mobile, which will run on Unity.
