Tencent erwirbt eine Mehrheitsbeteiligung von 51 % an Kuro Games, dem Entwickler hinter dem beliebten Action-Rollenspiel Wuthering Waves. Dies folgt früheren Gerüchten vom März und beinhaltet, dass Tencent einen Anteil von 37 % von Hero Entertainment kauft.
Kuro Games versichert seinen Mitarbeitern, dass interne Abläufe und kreative Kontrolle weitgehend unabhängig bleiben, was den Ansatz von Tencent bei Studios wie Riot Games und Supercell widerspiegelt. Diese Akquisition festigt das umfangreiche Portfolio von Tencent weiter, das bereits Investitionen in große Gaming-Unternehmen wie Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard und FromSoftware umfasst.

Wuthering Waves selbst floriert weiterhin, mit dem aktuellen Update 1.4, das einen neuen Somnoire: Illusive Realms-Modus, zwei Charaktere, Waffen und Upgrades hinzufügt. Spieler können auch In-Game-Codes für zusätzliche Belohnungen nutzen.
Das kommende Update auf Version 2.0 verspricht noch mehr und stellt die erforschbare Nation Rinascita, die neuen Charaktere Carlotta und Roccia sowie eine PlayStation 5-Veröffentlichung vor, die das Spiel auf alle wichtigen Plattformen bringt. Die Investition von Tencent gewährleistet langfristige Stabilität für Kuro Games und seine zukünftigen Projekte.
Company of Heroes has recently announced the addition of an online, cross-platform multiplayer mode, marking a significant evolution for the long-running World War II tactical RTS franchise. This new feature allows players on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch to compete and cooperate together in real time, breaking down traditional platform barriers.
The cross-platform functionality is built on a robust, cloud-based infrastructure that ensures seamless matchmaking, consistent performance, and low-latency gameplay across devices. Developers at Relic Entertainment, in collaboration with Sega, have optimized the game’s core mechanics to accommodate different input methods—keyboard/mouse, gamepad, and touch—ensuring a balanced and fair experience for all players.
Key features of the new cross-platform multiplayer mode include:
Unified Matchmaking: Players from any supported platform can join the same game session.
Cross-Progression: Progress, unlocks, and in-game purchases are synchronized across devices via a single account.
Dedicated Servers & Anti-Cheat: Enhanced security and stable server performance to prevent cheating and lag.
New Cross-Platform Events & Tournaments: Regular competitive events with global leaderboards and prizes.
The update was released as part of a free major patch for Company of Heroes 3, which already received acclaim for its deep tactical gameplay, rich historical setting, and dynamic battlefield mechanics. The addition of cross-platform multiplayer is seen as a major step toward expanding the game’s community and boosting long-term engagement.
Relic and Sega have emphasized their commitment to ongoing support, with plans for future DLCs, new maps, and additional game modes tailored to cross-platform play.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or new to the world of WWII tactical combat, the new online cross-platform multiplayer mode promises a more connected and accessible experience than ever before.
