As we all know, the "DNF" national server planning team only has the right to localize and make suggestions, but does not have development rights. Recently, Korean media MTN reported that Tencent has obtained the "hyper-local" development rights for DNF client games and DNF mobile games. It is reported that Nexon and Tencent have reached a new agreement on the development cooperation of "Dungeon Fighter" IP, aiming to use the superior resources of both parties to enhance the performance and influence of this series of games in the Chinese market.
Nexon agreed that Tencent should set up an independent organization internally to directly cooperate in the development and update of "part of the national server content" of DNF client games and DNF mobile games, which is the so-called "hyper-localization". It aims to provide Chinese players with a gaming experience that better suits their needs. This also means that the national server planning also has certain "development rights" for the content of subsequent versions of future client and mobile games. If you want to add anything in the future, you can just write the code yourself.
Some players online are worried that when the national server planning has the development rights, more krypton gold gift packages will follow. There are also some objections within Neople to cooperation with Tencent, fearing that cooperation may affect the independence of its own team and resource allocation.
Nexon said it will maintain its investment in DNFIP and increase manpower support as needed. Nexon also emphasized that IP sovereignty still belongs to it, and Tencent’s support is limited to practical development collaboration.
