0309 GMT - Strong enthusiasm at China's latest games exhibition suggests a sustainable revival of China's games industry, Citi analysts say after attending ChinaJoy 2025 in Shanghai. With China's normalized regulatory environment, stable competitive landscape and improving game content quality, there was more traffic and greater gamer enthusiasm at this year's event than last year's, they say. NetEase highlighted new game reveals including "Sea of Remnants" and "Destiny: Rising," which could suggest an accelerated launch schedule into 2H, the analysts say. Meanwhile, Tencent's "Valorant Mobile" could have a successful launch later this month given its popularity at the exhibition, they say. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
