0614 GMT - Tencent and NetEase appear poised for robust game launches in 2026, though their approaches differ, Daiwa analyst John Choi says in a research note. Tencent plans to launch a range of titles across mobile, PC, and console, focusing on shooting and action titles, the analyst notes. However, NetEase's lineup is centered on a few high-profile flagship games such as "Ananta" and "Sea of Remnants," he says. Both companies will emphasize on global expansion of these titles, building on lessons from recent successes, such as the strong overseas launch of NetEase's "Where Winds Meet." Tencent's shares are 1.65% higher at HK$615.00 and NetEase's are up 1.8% at HK$215.00. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
