Gamania Digital Entertainment, a developer/operator of online games in Taiwan, announced it has obtained a license from China-based Beijing Perfect World to exclusively operate the company's online game Chi Bi in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, with the launch in Taiwan scheduled for the third quarter of 2008.
Chi Bi is based on legends from China's Three Kingdom period, Gamania indicated. The game was launched in China in 2007 and has recorded 250,000 concurrent players, Gamania noted.
Beijing Perfect World did not select Soft-World International, its first operating agent of online games in Taiwan, to operate Chi Bi probably because both sides failed to reach consensus on licensing charges, according to industry sources.
