What a surprise. After the global shutdown, comes the announcement of a Chinese version of Black Clover Mobile, a gacha RPG based on the popular anime and manga series. This comes shortly after the game’s global service was terminated, leaving many international players disappointed.
While official announcements directly from the game’s developers or publishers on their primary websites (likely in Japanese, given the source material) are still anticipated for concrete details and release dates within the Chinese market, various online communities indicates a strong likelihood of this regional relaunch. For now we have the official site in the TapTap community and the Bilibili page.
The decision to focus on the Chinese market after a global shutdown underscores the strategic importance of this region for mobile game developers. China boasts a massive and highly engaged mobile gaming audience, representing a significant revenue opportunity.
The game was okey, the gameplay was really good, but the P2W side was too abusive for international users. Would be things different in China? Whether this localized version will incorporate significant changes or updates compared to the now-defunct global version remains to be seen.
