The booth also featured mini-games, prizes and interactive activities designed to give attendees hands-on access to Tencent’s broader portfolio.

Meanwhile, gamescom dev focused on the technology behind Tencent’s games. Teams including Central Tech, Motus AI, GIGA, Tencent Games Vox, MagicDawn, Anti-Cheat Expert, GVoice and WeTest presented tools covering content creation, gameplay systems and long-term live-service operations.

Tencent also showcased Light AI, LightSpeed Studios’ in-house platform for generating game assets with AI. Limited beta access is planned to open in September, with a broader launch expected across multiple global regions.
