Tencent has reportedly taken over two ByteDance games teams, and has consolidated them into a new company.
As reported by Retuers, the studios that have allegedly been required are a Shenzhen-based firm working on an action game, and another in East China working on an anime title.
These teams have reportedly been merged into a studio called Salusoi, which is wholly-owned by a Tencent investor.
Both Tencent and ByteDance declined comment to Retuers.
This news comes after ByteDance confirmed that it was in talks to sell its video games operations, with Tencent reportedly in talks as a potential buyer.

Xbox Reportedly “Flatlining” in Europe, Publishers Question Support, More PS5 Ports Coming
While Microsoft has tried to put a happy face on things, the future of Xbox – at least Xbox as a distinct brand with its own hardware and exclusives – has never been more in question. Last month Microsoft tried to calm worries with an Xbox Business Update, in which they revealed several older, smaller-scale games were going multiplatform, but that others, like Starfield, aren’t for now. Furthermore, they vowed to continue working on new hardware which will, apparently, deliver the “largest technical leap ever” (how they plan to deliver on that boast, I don’t know).
