The global version of Tower of Fantasy will transition its publishing and operational responsibilities from Level Infinite (Tencent) to Perfect World Games, the parent company of Hotta Studio, effective February 23, 2025. Players are advised to authorize the transfer of their game data to ensure a seamless continuation of their progress.
The data transfer process is scheduled to commence on December 27, 2024, and will remain open until February 23, 2025. During this period, players can confirm their consent for data migration and have the option to modify their decision if necessary. An extended window for data transfer will be available from February 23, 2025, to April 24, 2025, for those who may miss the initial phase. It’s crucial to note that failure to authorize the transfer by April 24, 2025, will result in the deletion of the player’s account.
Is this good? The publisher and licensing issue is complicated. Many studios are part of the same game sometimes. Community sentiment around the change is somehow optimistic, many attributing the game’s current state to Tencent’s mismanagement through Level Infinite. Perfect World Games’ direct involvement is expected to bring renewed care and focus to Tower of Fantasy. Speculation hints that Perfect World Games may use Tower of Fantasy as a testing ground to refine their global publishing practices ahead of their next major project, Neverness to Everness (NTE).
