The concept of metaversity is like a tornado, sweeping the entire technology circle, and even triggering a series of chain reactions in the capital market, and even many businesses in other industries want to rub the heat of the metacosm. As the game circle closest to the metaverse, it is also shaken by the concept of the metaverse.
Earlier, NetEase CEO Ding Lei had expressed his views on the meta-universe at the financial report meeting at the end of the year, saying that NetEase was ready in the relevant technologies and rules, and the day that really came would quickly run.
This day seems to have come, NetEase's ancient wind online game "Against the Water Cold" announced on January 20 to open a new expansion pack "Destroy the World", which contains many metaversic characteristics.
In the new version of The Reverse Water Cold, a super giant map covering an area of 2400 square kilometers will be opened, and the area of Hong Kong is 1106 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the new map of the Reverse Water Cold being larger than the two Hong Kongs!
There are nine different regional landscapes in the vast landform, volcanoes, giant trees, ice fields, snowy mountains, swamps, deserts... Wildfire erupts on the volcano at any time, blizzards on the ice field make it difficult for players to walk, giant trees are intertwined like a giant maze, and swamps are full of killing machines, allowing players to experience a wilderness adventure comparable to the end of the world.
Moreover, the map is a cross-service gameplay, all server players can freely connect, as long as everyone exists in the game, you can play socially face-to-face in the virtual world, which is almost consistent with the concept of virtual world interaction in the metaverse.
Although Reverse Water Cold has been a mature game that has been operating for three and a half years, the new open world launched this time is equivalent to a redoed game, adding more interactive concepts of open world and metacosm. The players who had been in the jianghu were collectively cleared by martial arts and turned into mortals and thrown into this new world, and they needed to re-cultivate step by step to stand at the top of the world.
Every area in the game hides dangers, there are volcanic stones falling on Candle Mountain at any time, swamps are full of traps, and snow prison mountain blizzards may be frozen... In moody extreme weather, players can fall at any time. However, there are countless interactive elements hidden in these areas, and players can obtain a large number of treasure chests by solving puzzles and other means under exploration!
In such a wild place to want to be alone is too difficult, at this time the social nature of online games let everyone get together in such a difficult environment, you can avoid extreme weather such as blizzards and rainstorms in the camps in various regions, participate in "camp guard battles" and other gameplay, in the camp can also touch fish, clean, eat, and other players in this new world to carry out different social interaction, to achieve the degree of "simulated reality".
In this large map of mountains and seas, there are also all kinds of vicious ancient beasts, players can conquer the giant beasts when traveling the world, domesticate their favorite mounts, ride steppe wolves to run on the mountains, ride camels in the endless desert, and even ride giant spiders to pull the wind!
NetEase version of the meta-universe game will be opened, such a high degree of simulation realism is really shocking, so how do you think about this new way of playing against the water cold?
