Dungeon Fighter Mobile's phenomenal success underscores Tencent's bold challenge to app stores. The game's impact is staggering: it generated over 12% of Tencent's total mobile gaming revenue in its inaugural month. This substantial contribution, considering Tencent's position as the world's leading gaming company by revenue, makes their decision to bypass app stores even more audacious.
Last week, we discussed DnF Mobile's explosive launch and Tencent's subsequent conflict with app stores. This new revenue data significantly amplifies the stakes of Tencent's gamble. The South China Morning Post's report confirms the game's immense profitability, even exceeding initial expectations. While the game's strong initial performance is unsurprising given the Dungeon Fighter franchise's popularity and the typical profitability of new game releases, the choice to forgo app store distribution remains a high-risk, high-reward strategy.
