Gaming giant Blizzard is reportedly engaging in negotiations with leading Chinese game publishers NetEase and Tencent, exploring the possibility of a return to Chinese servers for the World of Warcraft publisher almost a year after its deal with NetEase ended in acrimony. Tencent subsidiary Morefun Studios was reported to be streaming Warcraft-related content on Chinese video platform Bilibili on Thursday, but its livestream has now been discontinued. Tencent Games told Chinese media outlet Yicai that it was only a test stream. Morefun Studios is an in-house studio at Tencent and does not act as an agent for external products, according to an insider at the Chinese gaming behemoth. Tencent Games refused to directly comment on any possible negotiations with Blizzard. [Yicai, in Chinese]
