KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Malaysian video game fans will soon be able to join the more than 1 million online users of the increasingly popular Chinese video game, "Zheng Tu."

The Malaysian company, iG-Interactive Sdn Bhd, has announced that it has reached an agreement with China's Lager Network Technologies Inc. to create a regional online server for the popular video game, China's official Xinhua news agency said Saturday.

"Game mission can teach gamers Chinese philosophy," iG-Interactive Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Tan Teck Seng said Friday.

The Malaysian executive said that the server's official launch would take place on Wednesday, adding that the game's quizzes would also be localized for users in the capital of Kuala Lumpur.

"Zheng Tu" is currently one of only three video games with online capabilities that have more than 1 million concurrent users.

Xinhua said that Chinese online games have been especially successful in other Asian countries such as Malaysia, where nearly one quarter of the country's population are Chinese.
