Legou Games

Legou Games is a Chengdu-based game developer founded in 2017, specializing in mobile 4X real-time strategy games and massively multiplayer online strategy experiences. Its development work combines game design, software engineering and stylized visual production, with an emphasis on large-scale worlds, tactical troop control and interconnected multiplayer systems.

The studio’s debut title, Rise of Kingdoms, launched internationally in September 2018 under its original name, Rise of Civilizations, before reaching mainland China in September 2020. Published globally by Lilith Games, it combines historical themes with real-time strategy gameplay. The game established Legou’s international presence and subsequently exceeded 100 million registered players.

Its second major title, Call of Dragons, launched globally on March 28, 2023, with international publishing through Farlight Games, Lilith’s overseas publishing arm. The fantasy strategy game features three-dimensional terrain warfare, flying behemoths and battles involving multiple factions. Its mainland China release followed in 2024.

Development capabilities

Legou’s production capabilities span full-cycle game design, client and server programming, proprietary mechanics and engine tooling. Its art teams develop character and environment concepts, produce 3D models, and create skeletal rigs and animation. These disciplines support the visual worlds and ongoing content requirements of its strategy games.

The company has expanded internationally to support production across multiple projects. Its teams in China, Ukraine and France collaborate on concept art, modeling, animation and localization, while its Chengdu headquarters directs core engineering and product management.

Legou works with external publishing partners to bring its games to international audiences. Lilith Games and Farlight Games primarily handle publishing, user acquisition and live operations outside mainland China. This collaboration connects Legou’s development work with distribution and ongoing support across global markets.
