In a recruitment notice last month, a Timi engineer wrote that the company aims to create a new AAA game that resembles the virtual community from the movie Ready Player One, and will 'compete head-to-head against big powers from Japan, Korea, Europe and US' It also provides a hefty basis for its ambitions to move beyond mobile games and compete directly with global heavyweights developing expensive 'AAA' titles on platforms such as desktop computers, Sony's PlayStation, Nintendo's Switch and Microsoft's Xbox. The $10 billion would make Timi the world's largest developer, the sources say, which many industry watchers had suspected to be the case. Chinese tech giant Tencent's Timi Studios, maker of popular video games Honor of Kings and Call of Duty Mobile, generated revenue of $10 billion last year, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
