PlatinumGames announces partnership with Tencent which allows them to expand into self-publishing while remaining independent

PlatinumGames has just announced a partnership with Tencent that will allow them to expand their business, all while remaining independent. Check out the official announcement straight from Platinum below.

We would like to announce we have received a capital investment from Tencent Holdings Limited as a basis for partnership. This partnership has no effect on the independence of our company, and we will continue operations under our current corporate structure.

We hope to use this capital to strengthen our foundation as a business and expand from game development into exploring self-publishing. We also hope that this partnership can give us a wider global perspective, while still creating high quality games that stay true to our name.

Thank you as always for your continued support. Please look forward to what we have in store.
