Tencent Prepares for the Gaming Metaverse

The world’s largest game publisher made clear some of its future metaverse plans during a call with investors last week noted TechCrunch. It outlined three possible pathways to reach the metaverse. Notably, Tencent is more focused on the software side of things and said it isn’t as worried about VR headsets or other devices. “Hardware will probably be an assisting condition but not the necessary condition,” Tencent president Martin Lau said.
Another recent report from The South China Morning Post claims the company is developing an international team to create new games geared toward the metaverse.
