The menacing epidemic not only took away the time, but also took away the edition number.
After the approval of the game version number was resumed on April 11, the National Press and Publication Administration finally issued the June version number again today. The day after Beijing resumed normal work, a new batch of version numbers was released, which may also prove that the suspension of the May version number was affected by the epidemic rather than policy adjustments.
The normalization of the version number is the main tone, and the market and regulators have reached a basic consensus. As for whether the May edition number will be reissued, you can pay close attention to the official website of the edition bureau.
It is worth mentioning that the words “domestic mobile games (pilot)” appeared in the declaration category of the approval information for domestic online games this time, which also indicates that the “On Promoting Trade and Investment Facilitation in Pilot Free Trade Zones” issued by the State Council in September last year. The “Several Measures for Reform and Innovation” in “Developing Online Game Territorial Management Pilot Program” has officially been implemented.
According to a report by China Press, Publication, Radio and Television, in order to simplify the approval process, improve administrative efficiency, and strengthen territorial management responsibilities, since 2014, Shanghai, Guangdong, Beijing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hainan and other places have been included in domestic online game territorial management pilots.
The above regions are all provinces and cities where domestic game companies are relatively densely distributed. This time, a total of 16 products have successfully obtained version numbers through territorial approval. In addition, about 18 games are within the scope of territorial management pilots, but they are still managed by the National Press and Publication Administration. Approve and issue version numbers.
The author guesses that this batch of games may be submitted for approval before the measures are implemented. If not, it means that the territorial management measures have not yet been fully rolled out, and whether some games can pass the review still needs to be further reviewed by the State Press and Publication Administration.
The domestic game approval work is expected to usher in a double improvement in quality and quantity under the territorial management model.
Mihayou, Shengqu, Perfection, Hero games were issued version numbers
Finally a new game to play.
In this version number approval, Mihayou, Shengqu Games, Perfect World, and Hero Games were issued version numbers. Society”, “Extremely Unparalleled 2”. In addition, “Gu Jian Qi Tan”, one of the famous domestic three swords, also transplanted “Gu Jian Qi Tan II” to the mobile terminal, and named it “Gu Jian Qi Tan II: Zhaoming Jianxin”.
1. The most important product to get the version number this time is Mihayou “Kocher Frontline”. Just when players exclaimed, “Is “Korchel Frontline” gone?”, “Korchel Frontline” got the version number. As soon as the wind turned, the comment immediately became “Does Mihayou build a nuclear bomb every day to shark all friends and businessmen”?
What game is Cochille Frontier?
Right now, everyone seems to know nothing about “Korcher Frontline”, and can only get a glimpse of the information released.
At present, among the new games developed by Mihayou, there are “Honkai: Xingkong Railway”, “Zero Zero” and “Korcher Frontline” which have opened the second test. On May 13, Mihayou officially announced the first PV of the new tour “Zero of the Dead”. Unlike the initially rumored shooter, Jedi Zero is an action game. Since “Zero Zero” is an action game, you may think that the answer is ready to come out, and “Korchel Frontline” is very likely to be the rumored TPS game made with Unreal Engine.
However, things may not be so simple.
On station B, the up master “walking in the ethereal space” once put a lot of evidence that “War 2061” is “Korcher Frontline”. After he acquired the Thorn Birds studio time from Mihayou, the 3 test times of “War 2061”, the game style of “War 2061”, the soft writing of Jedi Zero, and the trademark registration time, he thought that “War 2061” and “War 2061” were similar to “War 2061”. Kochell Frontline has a very high degree of overlap. Judging from the various information released by “Walking in the Ethereal”, perhaps “Kocher Frontline” is an RTS game.
However, despite the rumors on the Internet, players can only piece together a general idea through various pieces of information, which must not be true. If you want to know what kind of game “Korchel Frontline” is, you still have to be patient and wait for the official announcement of the specific information in person.
2. Perfect World’s “Black Cat Anecdote” is a female-oriented mobile game. The background of the work is set in an overhead and bizarre world. The main plot is constructed with a number of urban legends, and a large number of suspenseful stories run through it.
Players play the president of the Anecdote Club in “Black Cat Anecdote Club”, and dig out the truth together with male protagonists with different puzzle-solving expertise. This game is different from the female-oriented mobile games that are subdivided and in love. The main axis of the game is mainly oriented to solving puzzles. Judging from the evaluation of the game PV and the player’s trial play, this is a female-oriented deciphering reasoning game that allows players to solve puzzles side by side with four male protagonists with different styles, while falling in love and talking about the philosophy of life.
3. The Dragon Valley IP under Shengqu Games can be said to be an evergreen tree in the MMO world. From the “Dragon Valley” end game that was launched in 2010, to the “Dragon Valley Mobile Game” launched in 2017, to the “Dragon Valley 2” in 2020, and to today, the “Dragon Valley” that has won the version number “World” is the fourth work launched by Shengqu Games based on the Dragon Nest IP.
However, if you want to break out of the currently crowded MMO mobile game track, selling feelings may only be short-term speculation. If you want to strengthen the foundation of the evergreen tree, you still have to rely on unique content to speak.
4. “Ji Wushuang” is the representative work of the strategy game direction of Hero Games. The “Ji Wushuang 2” that received the version number this time is the second generation of the “Ji Wushuang” IP series.
The game has been upgraded in quality on the basis of “Ji Wushuang”. The gameplay is to retain the classic mowing gameplay while combining social and MOBA gameplay to add interest to the Three Kingdoms strategy game.
5. When it comes to “Gu Jian Qi Tan II”, I believe everyone is familiar with it. This work is a domestic stand-alone RPG game developed by Shanghai Candle Dragon Information Technology Co., Ltd. It is the second stand-alone work of the “Ancient Sword” IP series, with the theme of “Ask”.
From the beginning of its release, this series has been a hot spot for domestic stand-alone games. The popular stand-alone game is transplanted to the mobile game, I believe it can evoke the memories of many players.
“Gu Jian Qi Tan II: Zhaoming Sword Heart” is an IP series of “Gu Jian” operated and distributed by Shanghai Miaoguo Information Technology Co., Ltd.
At present, the content released by this mobile game is almost rare. Therefore, whether the mobile game inherits the world view of the original work and whether it will continue the real-time combat mechanism of the original work remains to be further announced by the official.
With the release of this version number, it can be said to be a two-way sigh of relief for players and manufacturers. Manufacturers can finally start the publicity work, and players who have been waiting for a long time can begin to expect more game content to be revealed.
Just wait a little longer, the show is about to start.
Two-dimensional and SLG games have all received version numbers
The 60 version numbers released this time involve as many as 60 manufacturers, and almost every company has been issued a version number.
The author selected the last 20 manufacturers and compared them one by one, and found that most of the companies were in existence, and only a small number of companies had been cancelled.
According to Tianyancha data, Hangzhou Bianzhe Network Technology Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Hangzhou Bianfeng Network Technology Co., Ltd., whose main business is online chess and card games, and is currently in operation. The author checked the company’s official website, TapTap, Weibo, and found no information on “The Adventure of Snakes”. Judging from the product name alone, the game is a casual game.
It should be pointed out that this time, “Archer’s Adventure” under the wing network has also been issued a version number. The game is a shooting adventure game that integrates Roguelike gameplay, and it is also a casual game.
Wuhan Shoumeng Network is a game enterprise that takes mobile games as its development starting point and integrates independent research and development, single-generation publishing and product operation. It owns the publishing platforms Jiuwan Games and Wanjingyou. The company is currently in operation. The author checked the company’s official website, TapTap, and Weibo, and found no information on “Immortal Continent”. It is not known what type of game the game belongs to.
Beijing Wall-E Network is a company invested by Xiaomi. The UE Center in the original Xiaomi and the operation of game apps in the Xiaomi App Store have always been in charge of the WALL-E team. It can be said that Wall-E’s official website is directly equivalent to Xiaomi games. The “Dream Travel Tu” game that has been issued a version number this time is a casual puzzle mobile game. The latest promotion was on March 20.
Manufacturers whose main business is also games, such as Dacheng Network, Nuoyunuo Technology, and Finger Technology, are still operating continuously. The “Ball and Ball Around the World”, “Starship Strike” and “One Finger Fighting Heroes” that have been issued this time are all casual games.
In addition, like the competitive world “Wandering Castle” is an SLG product, the latest test was on March 30. Yiguo Network “I’m in Rhinoceros” is a role-playing game with the theme of doomsday diesel mecha punk. At present, the game has a score of 9.3 points on TapTap, and it is in reservation. “Yuan Xing”, a subsidiary of Yixun Technology, is a sandbox survival construction game.
The parent company of Fuzhou Tianmeng Digital is IGG. The author checked the company’s official website, TapTap, and Weibo, and found no information on “Dragon Soul Battle”. It is not known what type of game the game belongs to.
Manufacturers whose main business is not games include Mianyang Zhiru Technology, Zhi Department Film and Television Culture Media, Zeus Information Technology, Fingertip Interactive Entertainment, Starwing Network, Optimus Prime Network, Xiaowo Technology, and Blue Mouse Network. The above companies are still in continuous operation. The “Very Huarong Road”, “Fruit Legend”, “One Shot”, “Falling in Love with Racing”, “Crazy Coolum”, “Prosperous Farm” and “Film Dreamer” which have been issued this time are casual games.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Fingertip Mutual Entertainment, whose main business is not games, and its “Mortal God will be passed” belongs to RPG. It should be pointed out that the controlling shareholder of Optimus Prime Network is Tencent. To a certain extent, it also shows that Tencent did not have a bye in this round of version numbers.
Among the companies that have been issued with game version numbers in this round, the author noticed a new face, Binary Interactive Entertainment. It is new because the company was founded in 2020. But its background is not small. The founder, Jia Fei, is the COO of the original Dragon Fist Storm and is the chief producer of “Dream Link”. At present, the company’s shareholders include Tencent and Dianhun Network. The “Jump Traveler” that has been issued a version number this time is a two-dimensional game, and the official website Weibo has been updated.
The above companies are lucky and wait until the version number. But some companies are not so lucky. Like Qianzhi Interactive’s “Intelligence Pinball” this time, it has been issued a version number. But the company has been deregistered on March 7, 2022.
