Tencent becomes the majority shareholder of Tequila Works

Tencent has reached an agreement with Tequila Works , responsible for titles such as Rime or The Sexy Brutale, to become the majority shareholder of the Spanish study. In the statement issued on its website, they affirm that this investment "will provide the necessary means to carry their games to the next level".

Raúl Rubio, CEO of Tequila, spoke in the same statement about the high quality projects that they had created over the years, but also points out that "there is a limit as to what you can grow for yourself." For its part, the administrator of the Luz Sancho study, also added that this action "allows to make tequila Works a stronger study, with access to all the necessary resources to produce titles of higher quality, all done with the same affection and the Passion so our dear community knows us, at the same time that we will achieve these projects to a growing audience. "

At the moment, we know that Tequila Works is developing Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story , a title for a player starring the LOL Champion composed of Nunu and Willump in the form of adventure game focused on the puzzles. Although many was surprised by the news at the time, it seems clear that it is now easier to see the relationship between both facts, especially considering that the IP of League of Legends is in Riot Games, study that is also owned by Tencent.

The Chinese company's streak by buying studies has not reached the level of Microsoft or Sony at this beginning of the year, but neither have they been totally out of the wave: at the end of February, it added the acquisition of 1C Entertainment (King's Bounty) that A Its time has QLOC (which has collaborated on developments such as Dark Souls Remastered), in addition to incorporating Games Inflection studies a few days before, a team consisting of BioWare veterans. In addition, a couple of weeks ago we knew that Bandcamp had acquired, the North American platform of independent music.
