Tencent’s WoW-Like Tarisland Is Launching Globally On PC And Mobile Later This Year
When Blizzard and NetEase parted ways, marking the end of World of Warcraft in China, Tencent couldn't resist making a bold move. Following the split, the Chinese media giant promptly announced a new MMORPG called Tarisland that bears a striking similarity to Blizzard’s popular MMORPG.
It looks like Tencent is just about ready to unleash their creation out into the world as it confirms a global launch on PC and mobile device later this year.
“Tarisland will open the gates to this new world later this year,” tweeted Tencent. “We are striving to create a non-pay-to-win MMORPG on PC/mobile, featuring raids, diverse classes & builds, and a vast world for exploration. What world are you hoping for?”
The studio also dropped a flashy CGI trailer to mark the game’s announcement, promising a closed beta test coming soon. Sign-ups are now open on the Tarisland website if you want first dibs on the game. You can check out the official announcement trailer below.
