“The game had more than 20 million pre-registrations prior to launch, of which more than 5 million were from outside China,” Ahmad explained. “This is a huge achievement not just for a Chinese developed game, but for a new original IP too.”

The free-to-play, multiplayer-focused Among Us has also raised drastically in popularity over the past month. As a result, the developer has cancelled plans for a sequel to continue working on the original game.
