Foreword: On January 28, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the land of Shenzhou is draped in red new clothes. At this critical point in time when all network companies are frantically rushing KPIs, we saw the figures of "Original God" and "Magic Tower" on the track of "Two-Dimensional Open World Mobile Game". As the leading big brother, the original god officially opened the second half of the 2.4 version on January 25, and the up combination of Ganyu + Zhong Li was full of new year flavor; at the same time, referring to the rhythm of the sea lantern festival being ridiculed by the whole network group in the same period last year, the changes planned in the 2022 sea lantern festival are really "painful and painful". So the question is: how does the original god version 2.4 perform comprehensively? How will the magic tower next door deal with it?
The second half of the original god version 2.4 continued to exert force, and the sweet rain and water crushed Shen Hechi
It may be that the planner knows that "compared with the new character Shen He, who landed in the air, players are more willing to pay for the old characters who are familiar but missed", otherwise it is impossible to arrange Shen He in the early January, and it turns out that Miha You's bet was right. At the same time, the Spring Festival exclusive activity Flying Color Engraving Year opened, and a large number of players in the forum said: "This year's Sea Lantern Festival is a character appearance, much better than last year's full passerby faces", "Not too livery, the reward is not less at all".
In addition, the flow shows that on January 26 (that is, the day after the opening of the Ganyu pool), the original god IOS side is expected to have revenue of 3702469 US dollars, which is more than half of the 2334679 US dollars on January 6 (the day after the opening of Shen Hechi), which is a crushing pressure. In this regard, the author's guess is that "near the Spring Festival, a large number of players return to the pit, the pool is also excellent, and kryptonite is full of power."
The magic tower × the spirit cage linkage opened, the content is really excellent, after seeing the flowing water: very sad
At the key node, even if the original god did not have a new role to appear, the two sides of public opinion and flowing water also announced that "the original god production team can have a good year." Looking at the "Phantom Tower" next door, on January 26, Perfect World's public investor questions showed that the game has continued to decline since the public beta, and the official answer is "the first month of the flow of nearly 500 million yuan, and on January 27, the Phantom Tower launched a new version linked with the spirit cage.".
The meaning of the answer is obvious: when the linkage version is online, the magic tower will perform better. It is worth mentioning that "Spirit Cage" is a fairly excellent work in the domestic area, and it is also the top work of science fiction animation, and Perfect World officially acknowledges the existence of a cooperative relationship with the production group Art Painting Kaitian. On January 26, the new version was officially launched, and the dreamy way brought Bai Yuekui into the game, and the linkage placed on the original god meant that "Rita of Crash 3 entered the original god".
Linkage is excellent, but what about flow performance? The data shows that on January 26 (that is, the first day of the event), the IOS side of the magic tower flow is estimated to be 139215 US dollars, while the original god January 25 (the first day of the event) the estimated 847477 US dollars, there is indeed a gap between the two, but it is not the players' "the difference between the two flows is dozens of times" The unprovoked rumors, can only say a little sad?
Summary of personal analysis
As an objective game observer, it is gratifying to see the outbreak of domestic open world games. The author has great respect for the meticulous polishing of mihayou and the perfect world production team for their own works, which are thousands of works that have been painstakingly worked day and night. However, as far as the matter is concerned, there is still a clear gap between the original god and the magic tower, at least in terms of flowing water; but at the same time, the gap between the two has not reached the order of magnitude of crushing, the original god can not be taken lightly, the magic tower can not give up on itself, and it is the most important to insist on its own product characteristics. Finally, how do you think the original god version 2.4 performs? How do you view the linkage between the Phantom Tower and the Spirit Cage? Leave a comment in the comments section to discuss!
