About Kuro Games
Kuro Games is a Chinese video game developer and publisher founded in 2014 in Zhuhai and relocated in 2015 to Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, where it is headquartered. Its global official website, in English, showcases its games and its work across development, long-term live operations, global publishing and original IP incubation.
Its first major hit was Punishing: Gray Raven, a 3D action RPG released in 2019 that built a loyal player base across Asia and the West. In 2024 the company launched Wuthering Waves, a story-rich open-world action RPG with a high degree of freedom and fast-paced combat, released globally for PC, mobile and PlayStation 5 and nominated at The Game Awards, which has placed Kuro Games among China's fastest-growing studios.
The company combines in-house development with live-service operations and a growing line of franchise-derived products such as collectible figures and music editions. Its trajectory reflects the rise of Chinese studios specialising in anime-style RPGs launched simultaneously across the world's major markets.
