![]() Tencent is building studios overseas, including one for Timi and one for Lightspeed and Quantum, both in Los Angeles, with the goal of creating content with original intellectual property that has global appeal. In a recruitment notice last month, a Timi engineer wrote that the company aims to create a new AAA game that resembles the virtual community from the movie Ready Player One, and will “compete head-to-head against big powers from Japan, Korea, Europe and U.S.” It also provides a hefty basis for its ambitions to move beyond mobile games and compete directly with global heavyweights developing expensive “AAA” titles on platforms such as desktop computers, Sony’s PlayStation, Nintendo’s Switch and Microsoft’s Xbox. The $10 billion would make Timi the world’s largest developer, the sources say, which many industry watchers had suspected to be the case. TiMi will continue to support the development of AAA mobile games, and is cooperating with some well-known companies in the field to develop several projects.FILE PHOTO: The Tencent logo is seen at its booth at the 2020 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, China September 4, 2020. Vincent Gao pointed out that the global mobile game market is larger than the sum of PC and console game markets, and there is still great growth potential in the future. This is mainly due to the tax exemption policies of local governments in Canada and Quebec, which make the cost of hiring developers for companies at the same income level only half that of Texas or San Francisco.

TiMi Montréal and TiMi Seattle both focus on the development of multi-platform online games with AAA quality, while TiMi Los Angeles serves as a robust management and operations hub in North America, preparing each project to enter its comprehensive production stage.
