Tencent steps up overseas expansion with mobile Call of Duty to offset slower games growth in home market

Tencent Holdings, China’s biggest social media and games company, is stepping up its international expansion with plans for a mobile version of Call of Duty as regulatory pressure continues to depress sales in the China market.

Call of Duty, a first person shooter game originating from the hit video game franchise operated by US game company Activision Blizzard, will launch as a mobile version in the US, Japan, Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia at an unspecified date, according to a Bloomberg report.
