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 CN¥1 billion (around US$140 million).[3][4] It was first announced in March 2021.[5] A May 2023 trailer revealed that the game would feature actor Will Smith.[2][6][7] The game was released on June 15, 2023, for Android, iOS, and Windows.[1] Garena published the game on June 29 for select Southeast Asia countries.[8]

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.[10][4] Some reviewers noted that the game was relatively unheard of before the report, despite it featuring Smith.[11][12]
