Tencent Holdings has pulled new hit Dungeon & Fighter (DnF) Mobile from the app stores of Huawei Technologies, Oppo and Vivo, as the contracts of these major Chinese Android smartphone vendors expired less than a month after the video game’s launch.

DnF Mobile will no longer be available on some Android platforms from Thursday, according to a notice released on Wednesday by the game’s operating team. The affected app stores – including those of Huawei, Oppo and Vivo – were identified on the same day in a report by Chinese media outlet 21st Century Business Herald, which cited anonymous sources.
