According to video games industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, TikTok owner ByteDance has acquired Moonton, the developers of the Mobile Legends Bang Bang mobile game. This was also corroborated by another report by Reuters.
Based on local Chinese media reports, Moonton will still remain independent operations in the future after the acquisition by ByteDance. However, they will have access to ByteDance’s overseas operating experience to jointly develop the global game market. Meanwhile, Justin Yuan will continue to serve as Moonton CEO.
Ahmad added that ByteDance sees gaming as a key strategic vertical after having hired more than 2,000 staff for its game division and setting up multiple labels.
