They did make a blog post today talking about it

Teaming up with Tencent will allow us to move full speed ahead with the execution of the vision for our games. We have chosen an ally who has already partnered with some of the world's finest video game companies and helped them reach new heights while respecting their ways of doing things.

We will retain full ownership of our IPs, maintain creative freedom, and continue to operate the way we believe is right. I'm also going to continue serving as the studio’s CEO.

Could just be PR speak but allegedly it's going to be business as usual.

From what I understand, that seems to be how Tencent works. They buy these studios and then stay largely handoff (though I could be misremembering)

Hands off until the Chinese government figures out what its going to do with it.
