GCL Global shares surge 84.11% premarket after announcing trailer for WWII game "The Defiant" by 4Divinity.

GCL Global Holdings Ltd. surged 84.11% in premarket trading following the announcement of a trailer for its upcoming World War II-themed first-person shooter, "The Defiant." The game, developed by Hoothanes and published by 4Divinity, focuses on China's War of Resistance against Japan, a historically underrepresented conflict in gaming. The trailer highlights the title’s narrative-driven approach, diverse combat mechanics, and historical authenticity, including the use of period-specific firearms. As a story-driven title from a subsidiary of GCL Global, the game’s launch on PC and consoles, supported by Steam wishlisting, signals the company’s strategic pivot toward culturally resonant, high-impact interactive content. The premarket spike reflects investor optimism over the game’s potential to differentiate GCL in the competitive gaming sector.
