Takuro Mizobe, CEO of Pocketpair, the developer of "Phantom Beast Palu", tweeted yesterday: "Tencent is rapidly making a clone of "Phantom Beast Palu"! In China, several companies are simultaneously developing a mobile clone version of "Phantom Beast Palu", with a budget of 10 billion yen, which is 10 times that of "Phantom Beast Palu......
There should be a large number of Genshin Impact-quality monster (or beautiful girl) development games coming out in the coming year...... Amazing times. ”
Previously, at the end of March, Bloomberg reported that Tencent's TiMi Studio and Photon Studio were each developing mobile games inspired by "Phantom Beast Palu", and the projects were competing with each other to produce the best results. Previously, "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite" were all successful in this way.
Today, Mizobe stressed that his remarks are only a description of industry trends and a reasonable speculation about the future, and do not criticize any imitation. IGN's report used the word "allegation", which is contrary to Mizobe's original meaning. He made it clear that he was not pointing fingers at anyone because he did not believe Tencent's actions were improper.
Takuro Mizobe is open to innovation in the industry, and he believes that drawing inspiration from his favorite games is an important way to innovate in the industry. At the same time, the Japanese media outlet Automaton also pointed out that their report did not hint at the intention of Takuro Mizobe to make any accusations.
