In recent years, how hot the open world is, I believe everyone can see it, from the explosion of "Original God" many game manufacturers have also begun to enter the open world, Tencent and NetEase have also begun to "show their fists" in the open world of martial arts.
Some time ago, Tencent Photonic Studio announced the CG of the open world martial arts mobile game "Snow Knife Line", which restored the big river and lake world of the "Snow Knife Line" novel through the technical support and open world system of Unreal Engine 4. According to Photon, in the open world of the "Snow Knife Line" mobile game, each npc has a rich interactive experience and running logic, players can meet many characters in the original in the game, these characters have distinct personalities, each has a different jianghu grudge and encounter, players in the process of interacting with NPCs can also change the growth path of the character, and make different jianghu friends, appreciate the various states of life in the jianghu.
There is no other breaking news about "Snow In the Knife Line" at present, from the released CG, Tencent's ambition to do a martial arts open world game is still very large, as to what the game will be made, it will not be known until the game is online. However, at present, this game is still in the research and development stage, and it is estimated that it will take several years to officially launch, at least ten years and eight years.
In addition to "Sword Line in the Snow", another martial arts open-world game "Jianghu Eleven" also recently released its first trailer. This game is known as an open world + high degree of freedom martial arts RPG, in the game players can use their own characters, experience adventure growth in the Northern Song Dynasty, and improve themselves through cooking, treasure hunting, playing, poetry, writing, painting, writing kung fu cheats and other gameplay, participate in the Heavenly Book on the Sword to compete for the lord of the jianghu alliance, each NPC in the game has its own network.
The game "Jianghu Eleven" has not yet announced a specific release time, there is gossip that it is expected to be released in 2022, it seems that whether it can be played this year is still unknown.
Compared with the two distant martial arts open world games of "Sword Line in the Snow" and "Jianghu Eleven", NetEase's "Against the Cold Water" should be regarded as the "highlight" of this year's martial arts open world games. "Against the Cold Water" will open the open world play on January 20th, not only has a seamless map of 2400 square kilometers for players to explore freely, but also has a variety of gameplay for players to experience, since the relevant content of open world gameplay has been much concerned by players, many players are waiting for the arrival of the 20th.
In the open-world gameplay of "Against the Cold Water", the player's previous equipment combat power after entering the other-world map is all cleared, and they need to collect and hunt to obtain equipment by themselves, and they can only survive by relying on their own skills. The beasts hunted by players can be domesticated directly into their own mounts, and beasts such as spiders and tigers can be domesticated. However, if the domesticated beasts have too low a hunger value, they will also leave their owners, so players must not only solve their own food and clothing problems, but also find ways not to make their mounts hungry.
Not only that, on this 2400 square kilometer map, players will also face various extreme weather, such as blizzards, sandstorms, volcanic bursts of emergencies, in this emergency situation need to test the player's ability to adapt, the gameplay will be more interesting.
There are also various puzzles in the game, there are treasure chests hidden everywhere in the map, some treasure chests are on the edge of the cliff, some treasure chests are in the enemy camp, and some are under the waterfall, so you need to be extra careful to get the treasure chests. If many people find the same chest at the same time, then it is bound to go through a fierce battle, who can win the final victory before having a chance to take the treasure chest, thrilling gameplay adds a lot of fun to the game.
Wuxia games to do open-world gameplay is a more challenging attempt, "Against the Water Cold" on the basis of the original mmo game to develop an open-world gameplay is really impressive. At present, the "Snow Knife Line" mobile game and "Jianghu Eleven" have no specific online time, perhaps "Against the Water Cold" will become the leader of the martial arts open world game in 2022, what do you think about this?
