Arcus Key

Black Friday might be the big shopping event in the USA, but for China it is 'Double 11' which is now well underway. PC gamers and publishers such as Team17 and Raw Fury are currently enjoying Double 11 on Steam (both Steam China and Steam International): https://lnkd.in/e-GBSYpV

Europe, the UK and North America have all now moved to Winter time. This means that the time difference with China extends by one hour. Please note this when scheduling calls with Arcus Key.

There are 845 million users of WeChat in China. That compares to 611 million active users of X globally. Puts WeChat into some sort of perspective.

A reminder that Europe and the UK move to winter time on Sunday 27 October. However, China does not have a Winter and Summer time which means the time difference will increase by one hour to 7 hours in Europe and 8 hours in the UK. Please adjust your timings when scheduling meetings with China based companies including Arcus Key.

On Sunday 27 October, Europe and the UK moves from Sumer Time to Winter Time. Unfortunately, there is no Sumer and Winter time for China so the time difference will extend by one hour (up to 7 hours in Europe and 8 hours in the UK).

Worlds of Aria gets off to a good start in China with this video alone receiving 53,000 views, 1,164 likes and 2,043 shares. Well done to Ishtar Games and Ludogram. https://lnkd.in/edPSm8kn

It’s only taken almost 5 years, a pandemic and the odd visa issue but the Arcus Team finally have a full team gathering. We now realise that we all have legs! An awesome and dare I say, good looking team if ever there was one …

After a totally exhausting but absolutely brilliant Gamescom, the Arcus Key global roadshow continues. Next up it back to home turf and G-Fusion in Beijing (21 - 22 September). G-Fusion is a small but excellent consumer show and this will be our third year hosting booths for our clients and the first year we have organised an after show party (looking forward to that bit). After G-Fusion, comes Tokyo Games Show (26 - 29 September) where we will be accompanying a number of Chinese media. So, if you are exhibiting and would like to meet Chinese media, please reach out. We finish off the year back on home turf where we will be taking clients to WePlay in Shanghai (16 - 17 November). This is another of our favourite Chinese consumer shows. To learn more about these shows and how to grow your presence in China, please reach out.

The #Gamescom diary is now full and it's going to be a busy show. But all is not lost if you are still hoping to learn more about promoting your game in China as you still have two options: 1) You can bribe me with lots of Kölsch and I will happy cancel a meeting or three 2) Message us and we can jump on a call after the show. Either way, Arcus Key is looking forward to speaking with you soon.

Another day another win for Kingdom Rush 5 (Ironhide Game Studio) in China with an excellent 8 out of 10 review score: https://lnkd.in/eQgG22mj 归功于其生动的艺术风格，游戏的魅力还超越了其战略深度；游戏的易上手性和易学难精的深度也是我认为它脱颖而出的特点，对于塔防爱好者而言，《王国保卫战5：联盟》仍然是值得尝试的一作。" "Thanks to its vivid art style, the game's charm also transcends its strategic depth. It is easy to learn, but hard to master, which also makes the game stand out from the genre in my opinion. Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance is still a game worth trying for tower defence fans".
