Steams latest hit is aChinese RPG game thats launched to an immediately receptive audience.Tale of Immortal, out less than a week, has alreadygathered over 124,000 concurrent players at its peak.
Developed and published by Lightning Games,Tale of Immortal is an open-world game basedaround Chinese mythology.Starting as a mortal warrior, you gradually ascend towards becoming a deity of some form or other, makingparticular choices depending on how you want to resolve things and build your character. Its in Early Access right now, offering six chapters, and the full version is due in about a year, according to the Steam page.
Where Taleof Immortal stands out, however, is that its currentlyonly available on Valves store in Simplified Chinese, meaningmany of these players are from China itself.This is the second Chinese-language game to make a splash on Steam this month, following strategy game House of the Three Kingdoms 8, which topped at around 25,000 players a couple of weeks ago. But what separates the two isTale of Immortal is available everywhere, whereas Three Kingdoms 8 is China-only. Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad points out that China now accounts for a quarter of Steams users, and the success ofboth gamesgoes against the general buying habitsforChinese players.
