China’s National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) on the 26th released a new list of approved import game licenses. The list was confirmed to include a mobile title built on the intellectual property (IP) of Actoz Soft’s LaTale.

According to the import game license approvals posted on the agency’s official website that day, a total of five titles were approved. The game listed as item No. 2 is titled “彩虹岛：爱丽丝之境 (Caihong Dao: Ailisi Zhijing),” which corresponds in Korean to LaTale: Alice’s Boundary.

The original IP for the game is LaTale, a PC online title owned by South Korea’s Actoz Soft. In the Chinese market, LaTale is operated under the name “彩虹岛 (Caihong Dao),” and the newly licensed title is understood to be a mobile game developed based on that IP.

An import game license is a form of authorization issued for games developed by companies outside China, or for games whose IP is held by a non-Chinese rights holder. With this approval, LaTale: Alice’s Boundary has secured eligibility for official service in China.

Meanwhile, 177 domestic game licenses (issued to Chinese game companies) were granted in the latest batch—higher than the typical annual average.
