It has been announced that TANWAN (ASX: 09890) has launched full public testing across all platforms for its new horizontally scrolling fighting mobile game, Time Hunter • Awakening, which is developed based on the premium IP "Time Hunter".
The original game in the "Time Hunter" IP, Time Hunter, is a classic, phenomenally successful Chinese-original horizontally scrolling fighting mobile game. Since its official launch in 2013, it has achieved a peak monthly revenue exceeding RMB 200 million, with cumulative global revenue surpassing RMB 6 billion and over 250 million registered users. It has built deep brand recognition and emotional resonance among a vast player base, establishing itself as one of the most representative products in the Chinese horizontal fighting mobile game genre. "Time Hunter" was developed by Guangzhou Yinhan Technology Co., Ltd., one of China's earliest developers to specialize deeply in horizontal fighting mobile games.
As a new title that inherits the core essence of the original IP, Time Hunter • Awakening has undergone comprehensive iterative upgrades while fully retaining the original game's core gameplay systems and combat mechanics. These enhancements span the upgrade of the engine technology architecture, refinement of art quality, optimization of operational responsiveness, and the systematization of operational philosophies.
The development and launch of this new game reflect the group's strategic assessment of the long-term value within the horizontal fighting game category. Against the macro backdrop of the mobile gaming market entering a stage of competition for existing users, the iterative renewal of premium IPs relies not only on solid underlying technological capabilities but also on precise insights into and effective responses to the demands of core users.
The launch of the new game represents the group's further strategic deployment in the horizontal fighting game track, based on its "AI + Gaming" capabilities. The group has long been deeply committed to the premium game publishing and operation sector, consistently prioritizing user experience as its core focus and continuously advancing the development of premium IPs and the construction of a diversified product portfolio.
Leveraging its systematic "AI + Gaming" capabilities, the group has established a full-chain operational capability covering user insights, content optimization, user acquisition, and refined operations. These capabilities will provide continuous support for the subsequent version iterations, content updates, and long-term operation of the new game, contributing to achieving a stable and enduring product lifecycle.
Regarding IP operations, the group will continue to adhere to its core strategy of developing classic IPs and building a diversified product portfolio. It has established a systematic publishing and operational framework around high-quality IPs such as "Legend", "Mu Miracle", "Rejiang Online", "Douluo Continent", "Jinyong Wuxia", and "Time Hunter", consistently transforming core copyright resources into iterative and reusable content assets.
