In what can be called as a small achievement for Huawei, the much-anticipated Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall will be available on the company’s App Gallery on the same day and time as the Google Play Store. The collectible strategy game will launch on the App Gallery on April 3.
Ever since the US-ban, Huawei has been marketing the App Gallery as an alternative to the Play Store. And in the past year, the company has been slowly but steadily adding popular apps and their alternatives to its own store. The fact that Huawei has managed to convince a popular game developer to publish its app on the App Gallery is an important development.
Behaviour Interactive Inc., the developer behind the GoT Beyond the Wall game also benefits from this partnership. A few months back, we reported that Huawei was offering 85 percent of the revenue generated from an app on the App Gallery to the developer, which was significantly higher than the traditional 70:30 revenue split ratio offered by the Play Store and Apple App Store. Huawei’s software team has also worked closely with Behaviour Interactive Inc. to integrate Huawei’s own services like Account Kit and in-app purchases inside the new game.
