Tencent is an everything company.
As long as they think they can make money out of it, there's nothing in the gaming scene they wouldn't invest on.

Incidentally they already had significant investments in Larian (well, significant from Larian's viewpoint, minuscule from their perspective), which is why according to this story Larian is acting as an intermediary with them.

This would explain why Larian has not announced anything. I think they want to stop being nickel and dimed by Hasbro over people creating mods for the game and license usage. Not to mention the huge cut Hasbro is basically getting for the limited license use.

I am hoping this deal goes through because I think it means we will finally get the modding tools we need and Larian can expand on the IP to add additional modules and the next thing they do will be something else in the forgotten realms.
