Tencent’s ‘Dungeon & Fighter’ game dominates China’s mobile download charts

TENCENT Holdings’s newly launched Dungeon & Fighter (DnF Mobile) has got off to a strong start, dominating top-grossing charts on Apple’s iOS platform in China for nearly a month, industry data showed.

The game, launched in the world’s biggest gaming market on May 21, broke the US$100 million revenue mark in just 10 days, according to a report released by data analytics firm Sensor Tower this week.

It also topped the global mobile game revenue growth chart for May and ranked 8th in overall revenue.

In the first 10 days of its launch, DnF Mobile’s revenue in China’s iOS market surpassed the combined earnings of Tencent’s other popular titles Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile, according to a separate Sensor Tower report dated Jun 17.

This surge contributed to a 12 per cent growth in Tencent’s mobile game revenue in May, according to Sensor Tower.
