Development and release
Development and release
Undawn had more than 300 developers and was considered a "key" game developed in-house by Tencent, with an alleged budget of approximately 1 billion (around 140 million). It was first announced in March 2021. A May 2023 trailer revealed that the game would feature actor Will Smith. The game was released on June 15, 2023, for Android, iOS, and Windows. Garena published the game on June 29 for select Southeast Asia countries.
Reception
According to a report by Reuters published on March 21, 2024, Undawn "flopped spectacularly", generating a revenue of $287,000 in the previous month, according to research firm Appmagic. Some reviewers noted that the game was relatively unheard of before the report, despite it featuring Smith.
