According to Bloomberg, Tencent is reportedly planning to end its investment in Marvelous, as well as other Japanese game studios. This is seemingly due to “reassessment of the company’s global portfolio.”
The company is evaluating its minority holdings in many studios, and is supposedly preparing to sell stakes back to the management team of certain companies, even if its at a loss. However, its investments in From Software and Platinum Games will be unaffected. Only time will tell if these reports come to fruition, and what will become of Marvelous as a result.
Marvelous’ most recent major game, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, is available now for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). Final Weapon reviewed Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion and gave it a 4 out of 5 score, noting that the game is “a worthy sequel to the original Daemon X Machina, as it improves on its predecessor in nearly every regard.” Lastly, the Steam page describes the game as follows:
Become the ultimate high-tech warrior in an action-packed new entry in the Daemon X Machina series. Fly into battle in your customized Arsenal, unleashing a variety of attacks tailored to your playstyle. Feel the exhilaration of fast-paced combat as you freely explore a deadly and dangerous open world on land or in the air. After taking down your foes, collect their weapons and equipment, and upgrade your skills to expand your options on the battlefield. Suit up for a dark sci-fi story where you can face the titanic boss battles alone or with up to two other players online. New and veteran Daemon X Machina players alike will find a worthy adventure in the latest from Marvelous First Studio.
