BEIJING/HONG KONG: Chinese gaming giant Tencent Holdings Ltd is bringing PlayerUnknown's Battleground, the world's hottest videogame, to China, but with a twist. The gory, battle royale-style game will get a socialist makeover to meet stringent Chinese rules.
The move comes after China's content regulator slammed the South Korean-made game, PUBG for short, last month for being too violent and said it would likely be blocked because it "severely deviates from socialist core values".
