After getting the version number now, the game is expected to make another success in the domestic market, and this year’s two-dimensional track will also usher in a strong competitor.
3. Tencent “Awakening of Dawn: Vitality”

Finally, the National Press and Publication Administration also announced the changes of 24 version numbers. According to the content of the changes, 7 games have added versions, and 17 games have changed their publishing units/operating agencies.
The following is the specific situation:
What deserves our attention here is that Netease’s “Naishuihan” has added a mobile version; and “Terraria”, which originally belonged to Chuangmeng Tiandi , has been changed to Xindong network operation.
Especially “Naishuihan Mobile Games”, which was developed by the largest team in the history of NetEase (412 employees), and the research and development expenses have exceeded 640 million yuan so far. It is trying to subvert the old MMO routines and create a new national style grand open world super martial arts game .
Looking back, just a few days ago, the Game Working Committee and Gamma Data jointly released the 2022 Game Industry Report, and wrote in the summary:
“In 2022, my country’s game industry will be affected by the new crown epidemic, and many market indicators will decline. The production and development of enterprises will be limited, and the progress of projects will be seriously lagging behind; the demand for recruitment will be tightened, and job optimization will be frequent; capital confidence will be insufficient, and enterprises will have difficulties in investing and financing; Spending and entertainment consumption have decreased significantly; overseas competition has become more intense, and the resistance of enterprises to go overseas has increased, and the industry as a whole is under pressure and accumulating strength.”
Specifically, in terms of various data:
In 2022, the actual sales revenue of the Chinese game market will be 265.884 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 30.629 billion yuan, or 10.33%.
·The number of game users was 664 million, a year-on-year decrease of 0.33%.
·The actual sales revenue of self-developed games in the domestic market was 222.377 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 13.07%.
The actual sales revenue of self-developed games in overseas markets was US$17.346 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 3.70%.
The actual sales revenue of China’s mobile game market was 193.058 billion yuan, a decrease of 32.48 billion yuan from the previous year, a year-on-year decrease of 14.40%.
·The actual sales revenue of China’s client game market was 61.373 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.38%.
·The actual sales revenue of China’s web game market was 5.28 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.44%.
The actual sales revenue of China’s e- sports game market was 117.802 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 22.379 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 15.96%.
It is undeniable that the overall development of the game industry has been cold and even declined in the past year. However, only 19 days have passed since the release of the version number this time, and the number is too large, which will undoubtedly inject a boost to the development of the game in 2023.
And more importantly, we can see that the game industry is expected to recover this year and usher in a growth trend.
As early as last year, a number of products such as Mihayou and Youzu became cultural support projects in Xujiahui, Shanghai, and among them, “War and Eternity” and “Henghuai: Star Railway” respectively won the editions in the following period. No.
In July 2022, 27 departments including the Ministry of Commerce of my country jointly released the article “Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Foreign Cultural Trade”, which mentioned a series of suggestions on optimizing the review process of online games and expanding the review pilot.
In any case, the cold winter of 2022 has passed. May the game industry in the new year usher in a revival of vitality with the help of the spring breeze of the version number. I also hope that everyone who has devoted their efforts to the project and will never leave will be You can harvest the version number and finally meet the players.
