Tencent is preparing to officially launch Ring Fit Adventure in China on September 3, according to the South China Morning Post (https://www.scmp.com/abacus/games/article/3098026/ring-fit-adventure-gets-official-release-chinese-nintendo-switch).
Despite not being released there yet, the Switch fitness game has already proven popular in China as a way for people to exercise during the Covid-19 pandemic.
