Good weekend everyone, I'm Dr. X.
[Hot Tour Information] will be composed of two parts: "New Tour Dynamics" and "Global Popularity".
I can't say it clearly, but let's talk about what hot news this week is with Dr. X.
【New Tour News】
Highlights: The third anniversary of Naraka: Bladepoint is a big new map, new weapons, and new characters
On July 3rd, Naraka: Bladepoint will celebrate its third anniversary, and the anniversary version will also be launched at this time, with major updates such as new characters and new maps.
First of all, the new map [Dragon Hidden Cave] released in the anniversary version, this time "Naraka: Bladepoint" for the first time moves the traditional open surface scene of the chicken game to the underground, combining rich mechanisms, weird underground creatures, large tomb buildings and other elements to present a dangerous underground world.
It is this "cave" that looks a bit like a huge catacomb, and it is also full of terracotta warriors.
In order to visit the tomb, this season "Naraka: Bladepoint" also linked with "Tomb Robbery Notes" to make Zhang Qiling a new hero. When the new version is launched, players will play Zhang Qiling to explore the Dragon Hidden Cave Sky, and the elements will be full.
Of course, the new version of the linkage is more than that, and the future linkage that has been officially announced includes many popular IPs such as "The Witcher 3", "Tomb Raider", "Plants vs. Zombies", etc., if a new weapon of the Ice Shooter is launched, the picture is really a bit abstract.
In addition, the mobile game "Naraka: Bladepoint" was also officially announced this week on July 25.
It is understood that the mobile game will be interoperable with the terminal game in terms of appearance and activity, and after the dual-end account is bound, players can inherit the skin, rewards, and season experience in both directions, and they can get double rewards by playing one.
If you are interested, you can experience it.
Highlights: "Phantom Beast Palu" launched a DLC-level update "Tencent Palu" has an open beta and a version number
On June 27th, Phantom Beast Palu launched a new large-scale update "Sakura Island", which is a "free DLC" level expansion on a large scale.
The new area "Sakura Island" added this time is located in the northern part of the second game reserve, and players will not have the opportunity to see it until the late game. The area is mainly based on the Japanese style, with spectacular buildings such as torii gates and shrines, and a large area of cherry blossom trees. The regional tower boss Palu "Tezuki-i" is also a reference to the Japanese mythological character "Kazuki-hime".
You must know that before this, the maps in "Phantom Beast Palu" were mainly based on bare plains, volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, deserts and other pure natural ecological fields, and the new complete building terrain this time can be regarded as injecting more possibilities into the game.
On top of that, the hostile area "Oil Field Fortress" has also added a ton of interesting new gameplay, such as laser turret defense, meteorite drops, and even the alien Palu.
On the other hand, Tencent's two "Palu" games also have new developments this week, one of which is "Create! Our Planet", and the other is "Rock Kingdom: World", which has just received the edition number.
Friends who are familiar with Tencent know that things like "Let's Create! Our Planet", a pathfinder product that has not been able to confirm the core gameplay for many years and was not able to confirm the core gameplay until Palu exploded and quickly changed its public beta, the quality is as indescribable as "Noah's Heart", even if a large number of Palu elements are added, but because the production is too rough, it is really difficult for people to ignite their desires, and the results after the public beta are not very impressive.

On the other hand, "Rock Kingdom World", which has many years of elf design background, at least don't have to worry about the elves being too dramatic. After getting the version number this time, it is estimated that the first external test will be ushered in soon.
Focus: Welfare crit, more more! The anniversary skin of "Dusty Forbidden Zone" is directly on the field
Since catching the traffic password, the whole work of "Dust White Forbidden Zone" has also been better than once.
Just recently, when all manufacturers in the summer file were preparing cool skin, "Dust White Forbidden Zone" opened up directly, and used a real beautiful girl to interpret a wave of flower wedding crit.
This time, they are finally not limited to 3D beautiful girls, and directly break through the dimensional wall!
I like this kind of skin to publicize PV, and the evaluation is more.
Of course, the preview of the anniversary version of this real-life beautiful girl trailer "Empty Capital Interpretation" is even more exciting, not only the most anticipated flower wedding skin of ML, "Where the analyst's big hand touches, the value will be flooded", and the benefits and changes are also really knocked on the hearts of players, making players say that they have to krypton this time.
Highlights: The PV of the new domestic sci-fi MMO terminal game "Star Age: Protocore" is exposed for the first time!
Recently, a new domestic MMO terminal game called "Star Age Era: Procore" (Nova Era: Atom) exposed its actual PV for the first time.
It is understood that this new Chinese sci-fi MMORPG game is developed by Guangzhou Xingjie Network Technology Co., Ltd., which was founded in 2021 and is located in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, with a registered capital of 30 million yuan.
You must know that in the field of MMORPG terminal games, few domestic manufacturers have been involved in recent years, and even large manufacturers are at most engaged in creation in the comfort zone such as martial arts, and there is no innovative MMO.
With such a young team bringing a cosmic farming MMO, Dr. X still expressed verbal support and a wait-and-see attitude, hoping that they can bring something different to players and the domestic game market.
【Global Hot Spots】
Key points: The national server Warcraft will officially return on August 1, and the nostalgic service will be opened for free this week
The Warcraft national server is finally back this time!
This week, NetEase officially announced that the official server of the "World of Warcraft" national server will officially return on August 1, and the nostalgic service will be the first to open for free on June 27, and the nostalgic service will be free to play until July 10.
Although the national server will be launched a month late, after the server is launched until August 27, it will directly synchronize the new season "Battle of the Center of the Earth" globally, and directly jump gears to catch up with the foreign server.
The nostalgic suit will also provide players with a new super helicopter function, which can directly upgrade to level 80, and also exchange for additional 213 equipment for the whole body, and when it comes to July 25th, players can directly prepare for Ulduar in one step.
It's just that this super direct promotion service has made the studio boosters numb, and all the orders that have been set for the booster have been cancelled, and the national server studio has lost a wave of blood, which can only be said to be very happy.
In addition, on July 4th, Diablo Immortal will launch a major collaboration with World of Warcraft [Return of the Frozen Throne], where players can obtain weapon cosmetics and portals related to the Frozen Throne in Diablo Immortal.
Highlights: Bandai Namco Online declares bankruptcy The future of the Blue Agreement is uncertain
This week, Bandai Namco Online declared bankruptcy due to a massive loss of revenue, with its losses exceeding $51 million in the last fiscal year and continuing to grow.
At present, Bandai's explanation is that due to the long development cycle of the "Blue Protocol" and the market effect that is significantly lower than expected, the follow-up funds are seriously insufficient, and other research projects in hand have also been cut.
The problem is that the overseas operations of "Blue Protocol" have already been sold, and if the game cannot provide follow-up long-term update services, it may also face a large amount of compensation, which is both left and right.
Let's be honest about manga and Gundam.
Key points: "Singing Tide" 1.1 shopping guide has excellent strength, and the welfare carnival will start next week
Due to the rescue of Yin Lin in version 1.1, "Ming Tide" gradually relieved itself from the negative rhythm at the time of the launch, and the revenue at home and abroad has rebounded well.
Just to save the card pool that was launched in advance, after all, it disrupted the follow-up plan, and after this week's update, the card pool time of the new character Jinxi will also be extended to 25 days, which is almost equivalent to 50 days to update a version.
Judging from the feedback from all aspects after the current version 1.1 is launched, this version is indeed the real "open beta version" in the minds of players, not only bringing two popular female characters, but also good positive feedback in the main plot, performance animation, final boss battle, new map puzzle exploration and other aspects, and even in the first half of the plot foreshadowing, many players are hooked on the role of "long departure", which has been scheduled to be drawn, and the strength of this shopping guide is amazing.
In addition, in order to fight against the public beta of "Jeopardy Zero" on July 4th, "Singing Tide" will come up with an activity of signing in and giving 40 draws from July 4th, but the next door server is a combination of 100 character draws + 80 Bangbu draws, I don't know if "Ringing Tide" can withstand it.
Highlights: Guild Wars 2 spear skill test starts on June 28
This Friday, the "Guild Wars 2" national server spear skills test officially opened on June 28, players can now enter the game to create characters, test the spear skills of all professions, it should be noted that the event time only lasts until July 1, players who want to participate should hurry.
