Asus ROG Phone 2 is expected to arrive in July and it will compete directly with the likes of Black Shark 2 and Nubia Red Magic 3. We should also point out that Tencent Games is a part of Tencent Holdings that owns a number of game companies like Epic Games and Riot Games. The company also owns the studio that created PUBG Mobile. According to the post on Weibo, the partnership does not detail any major future plans, however, it does hint at the launch of Asus ROG Phone 2. As we mentioned earlier, the new gaming smartphone is expected to be launched in July this year. Asus ROG and Tencent Games are said to be working to create content and gaming experiences for smartphone users. In addition to this, the company is also likely to leverage Tencent’s extensive reach in the world of e-sports tournaments. Asus can make use of this to create awareness of its ROG brand among other traditional gamers. The ROG brand by Asus has a line of gaming notebooks and a smartphone that is aimed at gamers. Tencent Games has been established as one among the key subsidiaries of Tencent Holdings in 2003. Initially, it was only popular for the online games that it created, however, with PUBG Mobile, the company has become a household name. The popularity of the company particularly escalated once the mobile version of PUBG was launched as it crossed more than 200 million downloads and 30 million daily active users.
