Morgan Stanley stated that, given the strong collaboration between Tencent and South Korean game company Nexon in the field of game development over the past 20 years, Tencent's acquisition of Nexon may bring potential benefits to Tencent. Analyst Gary Yu stated in a report that the revenue growth of Nexon's mobile game "Dungeon & Fighter," authorized to be published by Tencent, is slowing down in China, but its PC version revenue is on the rise, with Nexon expecting the game to resume year-on-year growth starting in the second quarter. The cooperation between the two parties has further expanded, with "Final Battle" and "First Berserker: Krazan" currently in pre-registration in China and set for an official launch in the future. Shares of Nexon surged by 10% in Japan during Friday's early trading.
