Thanks to our direct presence in China, we have been able to partner up with the major actors in the industry bringing our videogames in the Far East” said Raffaele Galante, Co-CEO with his brother of Digital Bros. “The HFF publishing partnership with X.D. Network, among the most experienced indie game publishers in China, illustrates the commitment to the Chinese market and the Group’s intention to bring successful contents and unique videogames to Asia”.
Ever since X.D. Network co-founded and launched TapTap, one of the most prominent mobile platforms in China, it has strived to publish and license great games; one of these titles, “Brothers, A Tale of Two Sons” an award-winning 505 Games IP, also represented an important milestone for X.D. Network in terms of licensing indie games from overseas. The other games published by X.D. Network, “To The Moon” mobile version, “Gemini”, “ICEY”, and “Muse Dash”, also showed its determination to bring excellent indie games to Chinese players.
As a leading pay-to-play game platform for Android, TapTap has also shown its capability in hosting a large and lively community of players. Indeed, HFF mobile has already been reserved over 2,87 million times on TapTap, which is the highest record on the platform and makes TapTap the biggest community for the game in Greater China.
"We’ve seen that more and more indie games are brought to China from overseas in the recent years, this is indeed a great news for all games players. After all, a healthy game market requires not only enthusiasm and sincerity from players, but also competition and standardization, and the partnership with Digital Bros for HFF represents a step forward in this direction” said (Dash) Huang Yi-Meng, the CEO of X.D. Network.
