Funcom is already partially owned by Tencent, which owns roughly 29% of shares in the company at present. According to a statement released by the studio, Funcom CEO Rui Casais is enthusiastic about Tencent's intent to commence a full-fledged takeover.
"We have had a great relationship with... moreFuncom is already partially owned by Tencent, which owns roughly 29% of shares in the company at present. According to a statement released by the studio, Funcom CEO Rui Casais is enthusiastic about Tencent's intent to commence a full-fledged takeover.
"We have had a great relationship with Tencent as our largest shareholder so far and we are excited about this opportunity,†said Casais. “We will continue to develop great games that people all over the world will play, and we believe that the support of Tencent will take Funcom to the next level."
As well as having shares in Funcom, Tencent owns parts of a variety of massive games studios, including Riot Games, Epic, Ubisoft and more. Tencent intends to make its offer in February, and has announced that even in the case of a full acquisition, there will be no changes to staff or management, while currently supported games will be maintained for the foreseeable future.
"We are impressed by Funcom’s strengths as a developer of open-world multiplayer, action and survival games," said Tencent Senior Vice President Steven Ma. "We are glad to deepen our relationship with Funcom and look forward to collaborating with Funcom to deliver more exciting and enjoyable game experiences to fans worldwide.â€
According to Casais, a hypothetical Tencent takeover would "provide Funcom with operational leverage and insights from its vast knowledge as the leading company in the game space." The publisher has already announced plans to expand the scope of Dune, so expect some changes if the deal goes through.

If being an exile was a career path, you'd have to assume that Forsaken Master was one of its top job roles. Certainly higher than outcast, pariah or Shia LeBeouf. Alas, no, the Path of Exile is instead a game, and Forsaken Master is its new mini-expansion. It adds new stuff, reworks old stuff and brings some more three-month Challenge Leagues to the free-to-play ARPG.
A press release runs through the seemingly never-ending new features:
"Players will cross paths with the seven Forsaken Masters - seven skilled individuals who were exiled to the forsaken continent of Wraeclast by Dominus, a powerful entity of corruption and tyranny. Each Master offers unique quests, training, mission variations, item crafting and modification options, secret and customizable towns known as Hideouts, tiers of Hideout decorations, and more in exchange for an Exile's help. New Challenge Leagues, revamped boss fights, new lore, new Unique items, new skill and support gems, a PvP Spectator Mode, and dozens of other additions have also been implemented as part of the Forsaken Masters expansion."
