The deal was announced back in July, with Magic Universe one of a number of Chinese studios including China Wireless Arts to sign up for the platform.
"Rebels & Rulers is a mobile MMO game set in imperial China, featuring martial arts of the Yuan Dynasty," says the developer of the PlayPhone version.
