On the other hand, the progress of the project is described as “slow.” It seems that Tencent envisions this adaptation as a gacha similar to Genshin Impact, free-to-play, and naturally with microtransactions. Several additions of files in the game’s “backend” on Steam increasingly suggest that an announcement is imminent, although neither FromSoftware nor Bandai have officially commented on the matter.
For Tencent, this difficulty resonates with the recent cancellation of a Nier mobile game, and it seems to indicate that the Chinese publisher is really struggling to adapt PC/console games into mobile games.
