## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**The9 Announces AI-Powered Short Drama and AI-Assisted Interactive Movie Game Development Initiative Based on Licensed TVB Classic IP *The Greed of Man* (大时代)**

Shanghai, China, February 11, 2026 — The9 Limited (Nasdaq: NCTY) ("The9"), an established interactive entertainment and digital technology company, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Shanghai The9 Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai The9") has entered into a definitive cooperation agreement with Chengdu Lumosi Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("Chengdu Lumosi") to launch an AI-powered short drama and AI-assisted interactive movie game.

Shanghai The9 currently holds the exclusive mobile game development and publishing license for the classic TVB drama *The Greed of Man* (大时代). The original television series was produced and is owned by TVB. Building upon its licensed premium drama IP portfolio and recent breakthroughs in generative AI video technologies — including next-generation large-scale video generation models and AI-enabled production pipelines — Shanghai The9 has initiated the development of AI-powered short drama formats and AI-assisted interactive movie game concepts inspired by *The Greed of Man* (大时代), within the scope of its existing authorized rights.

Chengdu Lumosi brings technical expertise in AI-driven content prototyping and interactive entertainment technology development. The collaboration will focus on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· AI-powered short drama format development

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· AI-enhanced script iteration and cinematic scene generation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· AI-driven interactive storytelling mechanics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Hybrid interactive movie game prototypes integrating cinematic narratives with player-driven decision
systems

"Recent advances in generative AI video technologies are fundamentally reshaping the economics of scripted drama production and narrative-driven interactive entertainment," said Gary Gao, COO of The9. "By combining high-quality licensed drama IP with AI-native production workflows, we aim to significantly enhance development efficiency, shorten production cycles, and pioneer scalable new content formats for the global short-form drama and interactive entertainment markets."

"We value our ongoing cooperation with TVB and remain committed to operating within our authorized IP rights. We believe AI-powered short drama and AI-assisted interactive movie games represent a structural evolution in digital entertainment. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate additional high-quality drama IPs to expand our AI-driven content strategy."
