AXION VENTURES LAUNCHES RISING FIRE WITH TENCENT IN CHINA

Axion Ventures Inc. has launched its Rising Fire video game in China through Tencent Holding Ltd.'s massive distribution network, WeGame. Axion expects Tencent to distribute Rising Fire in a staged manner to approximately 1.5 million active WeGame users immediately, 15 million users by mid-July and up to 100 million users by mid-August. Axion will update shareholders with usage and growth data on a periodic basis as these data are made available by Tencent (which has the distribution rights of Rising Fire in China), the world's largest gaming market (with a projected value of $37.98-billion (U.S.) in 2018).

In connection with the launch, Tencent has commenced a multimillion-dollar marketing campaign to raise awareness and drive player participation. Currently trading at a market cap of $475-billion (U.S.), Tencent is the world's largest video game company by revenue.

Through the data that has been logged, our team has produced what we believe to be a successful game within an industry that has exploded in popularity in recent years. We are excited to be able to report user growth as soon as Axion receives the hard data from Tencent."
