Gaming giants including Tencent, Blizzard, Ubisoft and Epic Games will join ChinaJoy in Shanghai next week while Sony and Microsoft tap out. While Covid-19 has dealt a blow to ChinaJoy in terms of attendance, this year has actually been a boom year for video games. — SCMP
China is charging ahead with its biggest gaming expo ChinaJoy next week, going against the trend of recent tech and game show cancellations due to Covid-19 restrictions, including the demise of this year’s CES Asia in Shanghai.
Although the show goes on, it will be different from the format in previous years. Attendees will need to wear a mask at all times, admittance will be via a face scan, they will need to confirm their recent heath status and no large gatherings will be allowed inside the venue.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
