Today, the acquisition has finally been made official by the giant Chinese tech company.  According to a media statement, Tencent has decided to acquire iflix’s content, technology, and resources to help increase its presence in the region.

The company is also using iflix’s catalogue to expand its video streaming service, WeTV within Southeast Asia. Tencent did not reveal further details behind its iflix acquisition but according to Variety’s industry sources, iflix’s brand will continue to live on for at least 6 to 12 months.

Given the reason behind the acquisition, we would not be surprised that if Tencent decides to rebrand the Malaysian streaming service to WeTV very soon.
