What Rayking Game does

Rayking Game (远京科技, DBA RayKingGame/远京游戏) is an international game publishing and technology company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Shenyang, China, with publishing studios also in Suzhou. The firm operates two core pillars: (1) Publishing in China and the Middle East — providing cultural localization, digital and physical release across PC, mobile, and all major console platforms, China mobile game license (版号) filing, marketing campaigns, and post-launch community operations; and (2) Full-Channel Growth & Promotion — a 1,000+ live-streamer network operating 24/7 to deliver localized creative campaigns, KOL promotion, and user acquisition. Revenue is generated via project-based B2B services including publishing/distribution fees, technical services (custom development, cross-platform porting, HD remastering, LQA localization), marketing services, consulting, and mobile license application support, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than published. The company employs 51–100 professionals (per firmographics) or 123 across international publishing and technology teams (per operational description), supported by liaison offices in Tokyo, Seoul, Vancouver, Paris, and Barcelona.

The firm's published game portfolio includes DarkSwitch (a vertical city-building title developed by Cyber Temple, releasing April 9, 2026 on Steam) and Space Nation Online (a AAA Web3 MMORPG co-created with Hollywood director Roland Emmerich, approximately $40M total budget). Additional published titles span shooter, tower defense, visual novel, and action RPG genres. Customer relationships include Space Nation Inc. and Cyber Temple as published-developer clients, and consultancy engagements with SEGA Corporation, 2K Games, and SUCCESS Corporation for market-entry support. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (B2B publishing deals), channel partnerships (Steam, Epic, console platforms, Chinese platforms including WeGame/Bilibili/TapTap/Douyin, MENA regional partners), and direct-to-consumer community/social operations (Bilibili, Douyin, Weibo, REDnote, Discord, WeChat/QQ groups, plus Arabic Twitter/X for MENA). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public ticker.
