Vivien Zhang, Head of IP Licensing at Yodo1

In a groundbreaking forum, Yodo1 brought together many of China’s top mobile gaming companies to explore how brand-IP partnerships are reshaping gaming on a global scale. Hosted in collaboration with Gameunited as part of the Yodo1 IP Roadshow in Beijing, the event provided a platform to advance IP integration across the mobile gaming landscape.

Leading developers, including Wanda Cinema Game, Hero Entertainment, gathered to share their expertise on IP-driven strategies that deepen content engagement and boost player retention. By showcasing best practices in IP integration, these companies shared how strategic brand partnerships can enrich the gaming experience, enhance storytelling, and significantly heighten user engagement.

Bi Sheng, General Manager of Wanda Cinema Game's Overseas Publishing, emphasized that in-depth understanding of the IP is essential for a successful integration, sharing insights from the launch of Saint Seiya: Legend of Justice. The forum emphasized the importance of IPs as immersive elements, rather than surface-level brand additions, reinforcing how they improve the storyline and player engagement. More than ever before, developers are capitalizing on top-tier IPs to craft compelling experiences that also drive higher monetization.

Drawing on its experience with iconic IP partners such as Hasbro, Sony Pictures Consumer Products (SPCP) and Kodansha, Yodo1 is leading a knowledge-sharing roadshow across China, designed to inspire developers in the evolving world of IP integration. With more than 60% of China’s top 30 revenue-generating developers partnered with Yodo1, the company’s extensive network and leadership continue to shape the IP licensing landscape in China’s mobile gaming market.

One of the event’s highlights was the introduction of Yodo1’s newest platform, DreamData. Presented by Vivien Zhang, Head of IP Licensing at Yodo1, DreamData offers developers a robust suite of tools, including real-time global IP collaboration news, ROI forecasting, and IP partnership recommendations. This platform empowers developers to make informed, data-driven decisions that optimize brand integration, solidifying Yodo1’s standing as a thought leader in the mobile gaming IP space.

As demand for IP-powered games grows, Yodo1 is dedicated to building a network of industry leaders committed to advancing this trend. The Beijing event marks the first of many stops on Yodo1’s 2024-2025 roadshow, which will include additional forums across China, encouraging developers to embrace global brand partnerships. “Our mission is to help developers think globally, act locally, and leverage IP to create unforgettable gaming experiences,” said Sun Ke, Head of Strategic Deals at Yodo1.

With the rising sophistication of China’s gaming market, players are seeking deeper engagement and more immersive content. IPs allow developers to tap into existing fan bases, and the need for high-quality IP collaborations has never been greater.
