Hit Chinese Co-op Horror Looter Tomb Busters Rolls Out Globally in Western Markets Following 200M Domestic Downloads

Giant Games today announced the official Western launch of its breakout co-op horror extraction title Tomb Busters, which went live across PC, iOS and Android on May 28, marking the game’s first-ever release outside Asia after an unprecedented runaway success across mainland China.

Crafted with distinctive Chinese folk horror aesthetics and a unique “scary solo, hilarious co-op” gameplay hook, Tomb Busters has smashed major industry benchmarks in its home market: over 200 million cumulative downloads, 10 million daily active users, and an astounding 140 billion views across global social media platforms, cementing its spot as China’s top co-op horror extraction game. Now the fan-favorite title brings authentic oriental tomb-raiding thrills and chaotic multiplayer fun to Western gamers worldwide.

Game Details & Core Creature Highlights

Set as tomb raiders employed by the Supernatural Company, players venture into ancient, trap-laden crypts inhabited by mythical beasts rooted in classic Chinese folklore, hunting for precious loots amid life-threatening dangers. Each bespoke monster is engineered to blend spine-chilling horror, slapstick comedy and chaotic four-player mayhem:

• Red Panda: Adorable-looking yet ferociously hostile; prolonged crying triggers a grotesque mutation into a towering, terrifying beast.
• Alternate: A master shapeshifter that perfectly copies another player’s full appearance including cosmetic outfits to trick teammates into fatal close-quarters attacks.
• Jiangshi (Chinese Hopping Vampire): Ambush predator hiding inside cabinets to jump isolated travelers; its toxic bite poisons victims and forces them to hop uncontrollably like a jiangshi for 10 seconds.

Gamers can explore tombs either in solitary horror runs or assemble four-person squads with playable classes featuring exclusive skills and roles. Deeper tomb floors feature deadlier threats with full loot loss upon death. Dynamic random environmental events including dense fog, solar eclipses and blood moons keep every expedition unpredictable and fresh.

Designed from scratch to contrast solitary terror with emergent group comedy, Tomb Busters is positioned by Giant Games as a long-term global live-service game. To boost overseas community growth, the publisher has rolled out in-game seasonal events, influencer campaigns and a dedicated global creator program alongside Western launch.

“Exploring pitch-black ancient tombs alone delivers pure heart-pounding horror with unexpected jumpscares and hidden traps around every corner,” commented Producer Zhu from Giant Games. “Yet with a full squad, diverse class abilities turn dread into laughter. One reckless teammate triggering a trap and spawning hordes of monsters to wipe the whole party, with everyone yelling over voice chat — that’s where Tomb Busters’ magic comes alive.”

Tomb Busters is now downloadable globally on PC, iOS and Android. Players can check official social channels including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Discord plus the official game website for launch trailers and ongoing updates.
