Fuze Entertainment CEO, Wang Feng, announced this week that their new console is due to launch in China this year. The announcement came during a press conference where the company revealed their brand new “Tomahawk F1” Video Games Console. The company is aiming to release their console next month but the final release date is currently subject to change. Fuze Entertainment first announced their console around this time last year and are finally ready to launch their console in China.

Fuze Entertainment are the next company jumping on the bandwagon but they are going about things differently and their CEO Wang Feng says their ‘Tomahawk F1’ console is going to be a serious contender to Sony and Microsoft in China. The company raised $60 million in funding from a consortium including IDG Capital, Northern Light Venture Capital, Bosun Ventures and LineKong back in October 2015. Fuze Entertainment’s CEO believes that they can hold an advantage over Sony and Microsoft by tackling issues like localisation, region lock and high game prices with ease due to their familiarity with the Chinese market and say that this will allow for a successful domestic console market in China.

Below is a list of foreign games already confirmed for the console and the company has said that there are already 50 games in development with over 100 due to release in the first year.

Dynasty Warriors 8 with Xtreme Legends
Assault Android Cactus
Mighty No 9
Red Ash: The Indelible Legend
Grid Autosport
Hawken
ZHeros
Teslagrad
Ziggurat
Anima: Gate of Memories
One Upon Light
Heart & Slash

Fuze Entertainment are also planning to launch a VR headset to go alongside the console (Similar to Sony with PS4 and Tencent with MiniStation) but the full details of this are currently few and far between. Wang Feng says that VR is a natural fit in gaming and that it is only logical that they are looking into VR.

Interesting name. Sounds like it would have come from the 90's if sold in the US

 

[Shizuka]

Another console? Set aside, Apple.

 

[Fat4all]

Ha, I love that ZHugeEX has his own news blog. First time I'm seeing it.

 

[Hayama Akito]

This deserves his own thread!

I'm sure this is one of those VC money scams. Avoid at all costs.

 

[Twentieth]

Controller looks exactly like the Xbox One's and the UI is exactly like PSN's.

Great job.

I still remember everyone's stars in their eyes at the mention of Inafune. How the *ahem* mighty have fallen.

 

[koutoru]

Well, the Tomahawk F1 looks suspiciously familiar

 

[SerTapTap]

Lol these are the people who're funding Red Ash. Their website used to have this:

I do wonder if microconsoles will actually somewhat take off in China but I kinda doubt it. They were clearly a major fail in the west.

And this rip off of a company is the one Inafune partnered with to save Red Ash? Good lord!

I'll never get over at how blatant they're ripping shit up and hey still have a big press conference where they give zero fucks about.

 

[Chobel]

Red Ash is still alive?

 

[SerTapTap]

Red Ash is still alive?

That which has no life may never die.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Steam Machine?

 

[djplaeskool]

Red Ash is still alive?

Yup.
And Fuze was the entity that threw it a life preserver.

Can't believe this can be called "game console", ! ! !

This is what I've been waiting for. Surely it's capable of an amazing VR experience.
