Tencent Invests in Drama Studios to Speed Up Its Hyperrealistic Shooter Unrecord
It's not only fans who are looking forward to the game's release.

Drama Studios' shooter Unrecord got a huge boost in popularity a couple of years ago, when the creator, Alexandre "esankiy" Spindler, revealed its hyperrealistic graphics, and the excitement is still lingering, with the title being the 9th on the list of most wishlisted games on Steam.
However, Unrecord is still in development and doesn't have a release date, but it might change, as Chinese tech giant Tencent has purchased a minority stake in Drama Studios, according to GamesIndustry.biz.
We don't know the exact number, but the funds will go toward hiring more people and speeding up development, Drama says.
"In Tencent, we found not just a world-class partner, but a team genuinely passionate about our game and vision," Drama Studios CEO and founder Theo Hiribarne said. "Despite its scale, Tencent has approached this partnership with humility, respect, and a real appreciation for our creative identity. It believed in Unrecord early and has supported us at every stage of our growth. We're confident this collaboration will help us reach our full potential."
Tencent Games Europe's VP of partnerships, Mark Maslowicz, added that Tencent believes in creative talent and has been "consistently impressed by the drive and dynamism of Drama Studios, and the remarkable progress it has made on Unrecord," so this investment will "help the studio unlock their full potential and deliver the first of many outstanding games."
Tencent is not shying away from spending money on developers, but let's hope we won't hear about yet another acquisition anytime soon.
