TiMi Studio Group has announced the formation of a new development studio in Seattle, one that will focus on AAA games. TiMi is a subsidiary of Tencent, and is best known for popular MOBA Honor of Kings, free-to-play shooter Call of Duty: Mobile and the upcoming Pokémon Unite. The new US team will be working on a new IP, described as a "AAA, service-driven shooting game for multiple platforms," including consoles. It's a departure for TiMi, which has primarily focused on mobile (although there is a Switch version of Pokémon Unite). The office itself will be based in nearby Bellevue, with 25 team members already on board. It will officially open later in 2021.
