The die is cast again! The epic fantasy collaboration that rocked the Chinese mobile gaming market is back for another adventure.

Powered by Yodo1 Licensing, Tencent and Wizards of the Coast are continuing their IP partnership to forge another experience for Dragonheir: Silent Gods and Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fans in China. Players will get return to the game for another thrilling quest from May 1st to May 28th.

This is the second Dragonheir IP event, featuring Dungeons & Dragons characters, to make it to players in China. The first event brought legendary character Drizzt Do’Urden to the game, while this new epic unveils an entirely new and more spellbinding challenge: helping famed wizard Elminster defeat a dangerous lich.

Yodo1 Licensing first brought together Dragonheir and D&D in 2023, launching to widespread success across global markets. The collab includes D&D characters, themed storylines, dice skins, Avatar frames, in-game items, and map building.

Dragonheir levels up with a magical crossover event

In this second IP crossover event, Dragonheir raises the stakes and amps up the sorcery. Players learn that the Child of Chaos, whose power now dwells within the

player character, once tried to summon an army of fallen dragons to decimate Adenthia. Many years later, the Order Penultima, ardent followers of the Child of Chaos, plan for his return.

The action kicks off when the player encounters the famed wizard Elminster Aumar, one of the first characters to be developed for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and discovers that the banished lich (undead sorcerers often featuring as villains in fantasy gaming) Sammaster plans to revive Adenthia’s dragons and attain immeasurable power.

Battles and intrigue ensue, with the epic story culminating in the player character achieving new levels of power for the next instalment of the IP crossover saga.

The event will feature similar mechanics, but bring in new dice skins, Avatar frames, in-game items, and map building options, along with the Elminster team up.

Watch the official Dragonheir x D&D trailer

In this thunderous trailer for Dragonheir’s second D&D event, watch Elminster blink to a nightmarish landscape and summon magical lightning to battle eldritch horrors. The trailer brings Elminster face to face with Sammaster, his former pupil and a powerful undead mage, and his terrifying dracolich.

STUDIOCANAL holds worldwide licensing rights for Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Come with us if you want to play. In a bid to leverage classic science fiction and late 80s/early 90s nostalgia, Yodo1 Licensing is bringing Terminator 2: Judgment Day to Panteon’s tower defense strategy game Raid Rush.

From May 1st to June 30th, Raid Rush players worldwide will get to experience an exclusive new story from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day universe. Raid Rush is already an industry leader in the strategy genre of the mobile market, and the move to weaving this iconic IP into the game and its lore will keep current players more engaged and excite brand new audiences.

The crossover story, powered by Yodo1 Licensing, will trigger in Raid Rush’s exclusive seasonal events: Judgment Day Roll and Terminator Fortune, and consist of 21 epic episodes.

Read on for a breakdown of the Raid Rush x Terminator 2: Judgment Day IP partnership and why Yodo1’s play to bring together Panteon and STUDIOCANAL is a winning collaboration strategy.

What to expect from the Raid Rush x Terminator 2: Judgment Day collaboration

  • Players will experience a full-scale assault on Raid Rush Universe with playable characters, tower units, weapons, and vehicles from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day franchise.
  • STUDIOCANAL will bring three of the most iconic heroes from science fiction cinema to the game: Sarah Connor, John Connor, and T-800.
  • The crossover event will include game-changing rewards over two exclusive seasonal events, including packages and add-ons.
  • Score daily login bonuses and exclusive deals throughout.

Skynet invades Raid Rush Universe

To create the right story and tone to match Raid Rush’s established universe and mechanics, Yodo1 Licensing helped guide the IP partners toward a shared universe experience.

Raid Rush is a high-octane strategy game set in a science fiction universe, making it a great match for Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s simple yet resonant story of good vs. evil, human vs. machine, and uniting against a nearly invincible enemy.

In the crossover story, Skynet discovers Raid Rush Universe and uses its advanced technology to devise a crushing blow to the human Resistance. John Connor uncovers these plans and sends reprogrammed T-800 Terminator to defend the game Universe.

However, a T-1000, the liquid metal antagonist, brings Sarah Connor and a younger John to Raid Rush Universe.

What follows is an epic addition to Terminator 2: Judgment Day that gives players the chance to play unique campaigns as iconic characters like John Connor, Sarah Connor, and the Terminator himself.

Aside from many in-game rewards and extra content, the IP partnership deepens how players relate to Raid Rush.

We sought to make the IP event more than the sum of its parts, but rather a gaming experience that would elevate Raid Rush’s action and Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s legacy without compromising the game’s mechanics or long-held fan nostalgia.

Come with Yodo1 if you want your IP partnership to live

Every mobile game has its limitations, and partnering with an IP holder is one effective way to expand what’s possible. IP partnerships unlock storytelling and marketing opportunities for your game, to deepen the relationship with existing players and reach completely new audiences.

The trick is finding the right IP for your game and creating a lasting partnership that elevates the game and the brand behind the other creative property. And navigating all the nitty gritty steps from concept to approvals and execution.

Before partnering with Yodo1 Licensing, Raid Rush was eager to explore IP collaborations. Yodo1 Licensing provided expert guidance on supervision and detailed process walkthroughs, empowering Pateon to seamlessly navigate the collaboration.

We also worked closely with both parties to achieve an approval rate of over 85%, bringing a wealth of content from Terminator 2: Judgment Day to the game without significant friction. The goal was to show how powerful these characters and stories could be in the Raid Rush universe and STUDIOCANAL saw the definite value in bringing a novel story to a new medium.

Dungeons & Dragons comes to Dragonheir: Silent Gods’ player base in China on April 3rd

Roll initiative! An epic collaboration invoking one of the most recognized fantasy IPs is coming to China’s mobile gaming audience.

In collaboration with Yodo1 Licensing, Tencent and Wizards of the Coast are expanding their already successful event, uniting Dragonheir: Silent Gods and Dungeons & Dragons. Players in China will be able to explore these merged high-fantasy realms from April 3rd to May 13th.

By honoring its high-fantasy roots and bringing in some of the most recognized character and story elements from D&D’s well-known Forgotten Realms setting, this collab shows the grandeur you can achieve by recognizing the right match between a game and an IP.

Image link

Yodo1 Licensing first forged the Dragonheir and D&D partnership in 2023, launching to widespread success across varying markets worldwide. The collab includes heroes, D&D themed storylines, dice skins, Avatar frames, and in-game items.

Fantasy’s most renowned drow elf join the party

Central to the IP partnership between Dragonheir and D&D is the starring role of Drizzt Do’Urden, one of the most beloved characters from many decades of D&D lore.

Drizzt is a drow elf – a species of elf originally used as villains and antiheroes – who first debuted in R.A. Salvatore’s The Icewind Dale Trilogy over 30 years ago. The legendary ranger is a central figure to the D&D brand. His inclusion in the Dragonheir collaboration is an important element for strengthening the mobile game’s current base and pulling in fans of the genre who may not have played Dragonheir yet.

The collaboration story centers around Drizzt joining players in a quest to defeat Errtu, a demon (or balor) and another recognized entity from D&D stories.

Players will team up with Drizzt and his black panther Guenhwyvar to take on Errtu and his cultist minions. The event promises to be a high-octane showdown designed to merge Dragonheir’s gameplay with a story that’s instantly recognizable for long-time D&D fans and equally engaging for completely new initiates to both games.

In this riveting trailer for Dragonheir’s D&D collab, watch Drizzt quest through tundras and hellscapes, cutting down foes along his path. The trailer closes on Drizzt surveying the realm, ready to take on a new adventure with Dragonheir’s player base.

Experience the Dragonheir: Silent Gods and Dungeons & Dragons

How To Get Started With IP Partnerships And Why Crossover Events Will Triumph In 2025

Image link

Mobile games and brands stand at a collaborative inflection point. Mobile games have emerged over the past years as a key stage for brands and IP holders, while developers and publishers look to licensing IPs as a way to expand audiences and retain players.

And the intersection between games and brands is only getting stronger. In 2024, nearly half of the top 200 mobile games in the United States integrated licensed IPs, with this figure exceeding 60% in China and Japan.

Over the course of Yodo1 Licensing’s work with games and brands, we’ve seen staggering success. Including Pacific Rim characters and skins boosted Top War’s DAU’s by 1.5 million in 2020. Game for Peace integrated costumes, vehicles, and other elements from TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS and saw its revenue increase over 50% over two weeks.

Going beyond the game is an essential strategy for securing a sustainable, scalable legacy in 2025, and will likely remain through the coming years. Game developers and IP licensors should heed the opportunity, but also recognize that there are challenges to overcome.

Connecting iconic IPs, stories, and characters with the best mobile game studios for crossover events is a powerful way to secure every party's legacy.

Henry Fong, Co-Founder & CEO
Start licensing with Yodo1

Why mobile game studios and IP brands should partner up

Mobile games are prime real estate for brands to bring characters and stories to a wider, more engaged audience. At the same time, studios with recognized IP of their own have a lot to gain by mixing their narratives with the gameplay of peer developers and publishers.

Gamified experiences increase engagement and retention, especially when compared to more traditional marketing methods. Familiar IPs can also sway players to stay engaged for longer sessions.

Globally, 64% of players recall a brand featured in a game they’ve played, highlighting how gaming experiences can positively impact brand recognition. Gamification strategies also see customer loyalty rise 22% on average.

At the same time, more than half of players make in-game purchases in IP-based titles, between 10% and 20% more than non-IP-based games. Special events are especially significant, as IP collaborations have the potential to 10% to 30% during these isolated periods.

Based on Yodo1 Licensing’s current collaborations and how they’re received by players worldwide, these trends are likely here to stay through 2025 and the years to come.

One example of how well partnerships can serve games and brands is the event Yodo1 facilitated between the game Top War and the Pacific Rim franchise. By integrating the franchise’s recognizable giant mechs and monsters into the game via a limited-time event, Yodo1 helped boost its daily active users (+5%) and downloads (+12%), also increasing the game’s revenue ranking in the US and China.

What causes friction in IP partnerships?

Strategic partnerships open new marketing channels for games and brands, and unlock promotional opportunities that meet people where they’re most engaged. But they’re by no means simple.

One of the key challenges for strategic partnerships between game studios and IP holders is finding the right match. Developers need to select IPs that match their gaming experiences and play to their audiences, without risking significant player disruption and churn.

Game companies also need to communicate effectively with IP holders, especially if the brands in question aren’t used to placing their stories and characters into games.

On the flip side, IP holders are rightly protective of their creative properties. Merging two gaming IPs, or games with IPs outside the gaming world, can be incredibly complex, underscoring the importance of a collaborative relationship and an intermediary that understands every element of an IP partnership.

Yodo1 facilitates this dialogue, ensuring that developers understand the IP’s unique characteristics while addressing licensors’ concerns.

Bumblebee joins the battle for a second Puzzles & Survival x Transformers event

The world of Puzzles & Survival has always delighted players with its unique, chaotic gameplay, but Yodo1 Licensing is helping 37Games raise the bar with another TRANSFORMERS event.

Following the success of the first collaboration in December 2024, the game is bringing even more legendary Autobots and Decepticons into the fray from April 1st through April 15th 2025.

The event will give players the chance to convert into characters like newcomer Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, and face off against a new enemy, the Quintesson Judge.

Yodo1 Licensing’s next collaboration between Puzzle & Survival and TRANSFORMERS reignites recurring player interest and spending, while also welcoming new players to the game. This announcement highlights the most exciting elements of the crossover event and digs into how the collaboration benefits both brands.

A collaboration built for battle

When Puzzles & Survival first teamed up with Hasbro and Yodo1 Licensing (tag), the goal was clear: compliment the game’s strategy and survival elements while teaming up with the powerful Transformers bots!

The first event, Phase 1, introduced Optimus Prime to players, while also creating an immersive experience that wove the Autobots into the game’s post-apocalyptic setting.

With Phase 2, the stakes are even higher. Yodo1 Licensing has helped 37Games level up the collaboration experience, uniting Autobots and Decepticons against a shared threat and turning them against one another at the same time. Bumblebee also gets a pivotal role in the event as the brave warrior able to turn the tide.

This event ramps up the chaos and gives players a higher octane experience, without disrupting what makes P&S already riveting.

What’s new in the second event?

  • New Playable Heroes:
    • Bumblebee joins the fight, ready to take on the Quintesson Judge.
    • Optimus Prime returns for players who missed the Autobot leader in Phase 1.
  • Limited-Time Skins:
    • Grimlock March-In Skin
    • Scorponok Sanctuary Skin
  • Exclusive Transformers-Themed Content:
    • Special Avatars & Frames
    • Themed Email Background & Chatbox Decorations
    • A thrilling IP-driven storyline that brings *TRANSFORMERS* into the P&S universe for a limited time.

What makes this IP partnership a winning strategy?

Bringing established characters and stories into games isn’t just about adding recognizable faces to gameplay loops. It’s about making the experience more organic, exciting, and valuable for new and current players.

IP partnerships that yield collaborations and events are a tested, successful strategy to bring in new audience and and excite old ones for games partnering up with one another and for games bringing IPs from outside the games market.

For Yodo1 Licensing, Puzzles & Survival and TRANSFORMERS were a natural match. Both are built around common themes of survival, strategy, and epic battles between powerful forces. Fans of the game naturally accept and enjoy the inclusion of Transformers elements, as they complement and highlight the best parts of P&S.

The success of the first event proved that players loved the integration, leading to high engagement, strong in-game purchases, and a surge of new users. With the second event, Yodo1 (tag) worked closely with Hasbro and 37G to take things even further—introducing a bigger story, new playable characters, and deeper connections between the TRANSFORMERS universe and the world of P&S.

Try it out for yourself

For fans of TRANSFORMERS and Puzzles & Survival alike, this event is a must-play. Whether you’re strategizing with Bumblebee or unleashing the power of Optimus Prime, the battle for survival has never been more intense.

Check out the event in Puzzles & Survival to see the TRANSFORMERS takeover in action!

Viking Rise x Vikings: Valhalla Event 4 - The Grand Finale of an Epic IP Saga

Powered by Yodo1 Licensing

After three successful IP events, Viking Rise, the popular mobile game from developer I Got Games (IGG), is bringing MGM’s Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla back for a fourth phase of the collaborative saga that united the two epic IPs.

Players will get to experience these two mobile gaming and TV realms collide one final time from March 27th to April 30th, with major elements from the past three phases returning.

Since the beginning, Yodo1 Licensing has guided IGG to not only select MGM’s IP as the right match for its game, but also worked closely with both parties to ensure each brand’s values and virtues are represented and upheld.

The series of IP collaborations has highlighted the mightiest aspects of Viking Rise’s gameplay and stories, while introducing characters, items, skins, and other elements from Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla at the right time for maximum engagement and fun.

New Vikings enter the fray

The upcoming event will features elements from previous phases in the IP collaboration and introduces new characters, items, and rewards.

Players will finally get to unlock Vikings heroes Athelstan the Noble Advisor, Heahmund, and Sigurd as playable characters or skins. Heahmund and Sigurd will be joining the game with the brand new skins Crusader Heahmund and the Valiant Warrior Sigurd.

This is the first time these specific characters will appear in mobile game collaboration. While most of the characters that have crossed over from the TV show into the mobile game are popular, this final event stands out for highlighting more niche characters that bring their own charm to the game, adding further depth and variety to the story and gameplay.

The event will also feature fan and player favorites Leif Eriksson, Freydis Eriksdotter , Harald Sigurdsson, Rollo, Ragnar, Bjorn, Lagertha , and. Floki, giving players the chance to enjoy the most expansive cast of Vikings yet.

Rewards on the road the Valhalla

Alongside new and returning characters, players will also cash in on a reward system building on their experience throughout the entire collaborative saga.

Players entering the final phase will earn “Einherjar Medals” in redeeming sub-events that can be exchanged for IP items from the entire series, including castle skins, decors, avatar frames, and thematic chat bubbles.

This mechanic is designed to delight new players and reward those who’ve stuck around since the first collaborative event. The entire event is a coveted opportunity for players to collect items they may have missed, and snag more hero shards and skins to get stat boosts for quicker advancement through Viking Rise.

Yodo1 Gathers China’s Top Mobile Gaming Leaders to Explore Global Brand Partnerships in 2025

Vivien Zhang, Head of IP Licensing at Yodo1

In a groundbreaking forum, Yodo1 brought together many of China’s top mobile gaming companies to explore how brand-IP partnerships are reshaping gaming on a global scale. Hosted in collaboration with Gameunited as part of the Yodo1 IP Roadshow in Beijing, the event provided a platform to advance IP integration across the mobile gaming landscape.

Leading developers, including Wanda Cinema Game, Hero Entertainment,  gathered to share their expertise on IP-driven strategies that deepen content engagement and boost player retention. By showcasing best practices in IP integration, these companies shared how strategic brand partnerships can enrich the gaming experience, enhance storytelling, and significantly heighten user engagement.

Bi Sheng, General Manager of Wanda Cinema Game’s Overseas Publishing, emphasized that  in-depth understanding of the IP is essential for a successful integration, sharing insights from the launch of Saint Seiya: Legend of Justice. The forum emphasized the importance of IPs as immersive elements, rather than surface-level brand additions, reinforcing how they improve the storyline and player engagement. More than ever before, developers are capitalizing on top-tier IPs to craft compelling experiences that also drive higher monetization.

Yodo1 Team sharing insights about brands in games collaborations

Drawing on its experience with iconic IP partners such as Hasbro, Sony Pictures Consumer Products (SPCP) and Kodansha, Yodo1 is leading a knowledge-sharing roadshow across China, designed to inspire developers in the evolving world of IP integration. With more than 60% of China’s top 30 revenue-generating developers partnered with Yodo1, the company’s extensive network and leadership continue to shape the IP licensing landscape in China’s mobile gaming market.

One of the event’s highlights was the introduction of Yodo1’s newest platform, DreamData. Presented by Vivien Zhang, Head of IP Licensing at Yodo1, DreamData offers developers a robust suite of tools, including real-time global IP collaboration news, ROI forecasting, and IP partnership recommendations. This platform empowers developers to make informed, data-driven decisions that optimize brand integration, solidifying Yodo1’s standing as a thought leader in the mobile gaming IP space.

As demand for IP-powered games grows, Yodo1 is dedicated to building a network of industry leaders committed to advancing this trend. The Beijing event marks the first of many stops on Yodo1’s 2024-2025 roadshow, which will include additional forums across China, encouraging developers to embrace global brand partnerships. “Our mission is to help developers think globally, act locally, and leverage IP to create unforgettable gaming experiences,” said Sun Ke, Head of Strategic Deals at Yodo1.

With the rising sophistication of China’s gaming market, players are seeking deeper engagement and more immersive content. IPs allow developers to tap into existing fan bases, and the need for high-quality IP collaborations has never been greater.
