TREE NEWS update: China’s National Press and Publication Administration approved 206 domestic and 3 imported online games in its September 2026 batch of publishing licenses. miHoYo’s new title “Source Origin Knot” (源初之结) is on the list; the Unreal Engine 5 fantasy realistic multiplayer action game was first shown at Gamescom in August 2026.
China Approves 209 Game Licenses for September, miHoYo Title Included
The steady cadence of approvals is itself the signal: a full domestic batch plus a token imported slate suggests the regulator is keeping the pipeline open rather than tightening. For miHoYo, clearing a UE5 multiplayer action title matters less as a single launch than as evidence that ambitious, graphically heavy projects can still move through the process. What's worth watching is whether the imported share stays this thin — that gap has been the more telling indicator of policy mood than the domestic count.
