Recently, about the netease games of the card game "Above the Kuroshio" announced the suspension of service, caused the attention of many people in the game circle, in the impression of many people, this game was officially launched in just over a year to announce the closure, some people regret this. In fact, what everyone does not know is that not only "Above The Black Tide", on January 17, NetEase has at least 4 mobile games that shut down the server at the same time.
Around November 17, 2021, a number of mobile games under NetEase Games have successively issued announcements on the closure of services, including the familiar "Ezhen Miaobi Qianshan" and "Magical Forbidden Books Catalog", all of which have issued game suspension announcements, and the official closing time is January 17, 2022. Now two months later, these mobile games have now officially shut down the server, including the official website, all offline.
The first is the Magical Banned Books Catalogue, which was officially launched in August 2017 and is based on the light novel of the same name, which is a typical 3D Japanese RPG mobile game. After the game was launched, it attracted the attention of many players, and the game also held many linkage activities in the process of operation, such as "Isu VIII: Dana's Requiem", "Sakura Wars", etc., have been linked, in February 2018, according to the statistics of related activities in the game, its download number has exceeded 5 million.
The second is "Frightening Dreams", the game is NetEase's first Chinese-style color reveal mobile game, adapted from the classical Chinese love story "Peony Pavilion", and released in October 2015. The gameplay is more interesting to decompress, by clicking on a certain part of the scene to absorb color, and then dyeing other parts according to the prompts, and finally reaching a pass, easy to decompress the game, so that this mobile game is popular for a while.
The third is the "Painted Truth, Miaobi Qianshan", which is a stylized interactive narrative mobile game jointly launched by NetEase Games and the Palace Museum, based on the legendary Chinese painting "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which belongs to the same producer as "Frightening Dream". After the game was launched, because of the unique gameplay and painting style to attract the attention of many players, it topped the Free List of the App Store on the first day of the launch, and now 3 years later, the game has finally come to an end.
The fourth game is "The Adventure of the Three Kingdoms and Eight Battles", which is the first Three Kingdoms self-propelled board game under NetEase Games, which was officially released on January 15, 2021, which means that this game has been in exactly one year from the public beta to the official suspension. Judging from the player history reviews on TapTap, the praise is mixed, but from the launch to the decommissioning of less than a year, I believe it should also be the result of internal comprehensive trade-offs.
In addition to the above 4 mobile games officially suspended at the same time, NetEase's mobile games have also issued a suspension announcement, such as the "Magic Book Apocalypse" that many players are familiar with, and the game will be officially suspended on February 14. Behind the suspension of many games, it is inevitable that it is also the result of the overall business adjustment of NetEase Games, but because it involves the company's strategic planning, it is impossible to know the specific reasons in a short period of time.
I don't know what you think, NetEase shut down 4 games at the same time in one day?
