Tatsuo Eguchi, who leads PlayStation Shanghai,
The China Hero Project has always been committed to promoting the development of Chinese games and we are fortunate to have seen many great Chinese developers shine on our platform. Their masterpieces have been warmly welcomed not just here, but they also received recognition on the worldwide stage.
In the future, we intend to continue working with our partners and push the boundaries of game development with even more Chinese developers. We also intend to leverage the prestige of the PlayStation platform around the world to introduce more extraordinary Chinese games to global gamers.
If you’re unfamiliar with the China Hero Project, it was originally launched in 2016 by PlayStation and publicly announced in 2017 to locate and support outstanding local developers and present their games to the world.
Several games supported by the project like ANNO: Mutationem, F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, and Hardcore Mecha have already been released not only on PlayStation, but also on other platforms after a while.
There are quite a few still in development, including Lost Soul Aside by Ultizero Games, which has been one of the most visible among the titles supported by the Project.
