Tencent Holdings is in discussions about unwinding some of its minority investments in Japanese game studios, including Tokyo-listed Marvelous Inc., according to multiple reports. The talks, first described by Bloomberg, indicate Tencent is reassessing its global games portfolio after building stakes over several years. The discussions are reported to involve exits from “several” game studio investments in Japan, rather than a full divestment of all gaming interests.

The companies involved and Tencent have not publicly detailed the scope, timing, or outcomes of the negotiations, and no agreement has been confirmed in the reports.
