Students who pay attention to Qi Jam will know that since the first half of the year, many games have been suspended one after another.
For example, Tencent's "Komori Life" and "Food Language", NetEase's "Marvel Super War", "Super Fighting Dreamland", and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy V" and so on.
And just recently, another game was announced to be discontinued.
Recently, CMGE's Guoman IP-adapted action mobile game "Town Soul Street: Born to be King" was officially announced that it will officially cease operation on June 30.

The game was first tested in May 2021 and launched on all platforms at the end of 2022, and has been in operation for less than two years.
At the beginning of its launch, the mobile game added more than 2 million new users in the first week, and the turnover exceeded 100 million, topping the App Store free list.
However, the good times did not last long, and the game gradually faded out of people's sight after that.
Of course, the official has also prepared a compensation plan for players.
Similar to Tencent, the official compensation plan is also other game props under CMGE, and the event ends on July 8.
As for the specific content of compensation, players can send the keyword "service suspension compensation activity" to customer service to get more information.
According to incomplete statistics, in the first half of 2024 alone, more than 30 games have been shut down one after another.
There are games that are closed, and there are games that are "new".
That's right, "World of Warcraft", which has been in beta and has been expected by old players, has officially returned recently.
A few days ago, the "World of Warcraft" national server officially announced that the technical test server will be closed.
On June 27th, WotLK King will be officially relaunched, and players will be able to use their familiar characters to fight in Northrend again.

Previously, according to the official introduction, 2 new servers will be opened first when the server is launched - "Gianna" and "Death Hunter".
It is worth mentioning that due to the fact that the current technology access is still not fully completed, the official cannot carry out any commercial operation during the soft start.
For example, the Battle.net store service is temporarily unavailable, players can only create new characters on the server of the existing character, and the game does not consume game time during the soft launch phase.
It is reported that the soft start phase is expected to end on July 10, followed by a 24-hour shutdown maintenance.
After the maintenance is complete, all Wrath of the Lich King's services will be fully restarted, and the server restrictions will be lifted.
And on the morning of the same day, the official held a "mana crystal face-to-face meeting", and the latest news of the return was announced.
World of Warcraft has officially announced that due to the high load of "Gianna" and "Death Hunter", all servers of "Wrath of the Lich King" are now open.
In addition, the official server of the national server "World of Warcraft" will officially return on August 1.
Not only that, but the World of Warcraft: Battle for the Center of the Earth expansion will also be available globally on August 27.
As for the return gift, World of Warcraft said that it will give all players 14 days of gameplay, as well as exclusive mounts for the national server.
Whose youth is back?
Finally, it is worth mentioning that as the summer vacation approaches, Tencent recently announced the "2024 Game Summer Minors Restricted Play Calendar".
The calendar shows that during the months of July and August, minors can log in to the game every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 20-21 p.m.

Overall, that's a total of 23 hours of gameplay over a 55-day period.
The above are some of the recent new developments in the gaming industry.
