In addition to showcase a new wave of trailers of Chinese games that Sony is supporting via their China Hero Project initiative, and announcing that Sony will fund Exiledge and DaBa: Land of Water Scar, Sony announced another stratetic partnership with Virtuos and RichTap.

Virtuos started as a Chinese company but now has their headquarters in Singapore and over two dozen offices and over 4200 employees across Asia, Europe and North America, making them pretty likely the largest outsourcing and porting company in the world. In recent times they even made themselves entire remasters/remakes such as the recent Metal Gear Solid Delta or Oblivion Remastered.

RichTap is a company from Shanghai who has an app to design haptic feedback vibration patterns.



In recent times SIE or Sony announced several strategic partnerships, some of them not limited to gaming, or inside gaming apparently mostly focused on the Asian market and specifically mobile:
  • Bandai Namco
  • Kadokawa
    • One with Kadokawa as a whole, also involving CyGames for mobile games
    • One specificically with FromSoftware
  • NC Soft
  • Koei Tecmo + Akatsuki
  • Netease
  • Epic Games (I assume mostly UE related)
  • Carry1st (South African startup to leverage African market)
