Today (February 21st), a large number of news circulated on the Internet: ByteDance's Chaoxi Lightyear is planning to develop a two-dimensional 3D open world game similar to "Original God", which is currently being developed by 101 Studio in Hangzhou and has begun recruitment.
This news quickly fermented on major media and circle of friends and other platforms, for this reason, the game gyro asked the relevant person in charge of the morning lightyear for verification, and got a response: the information is untrue, there is no plan to develop a similar product to the original god.
Of course, the media that sent this news is not empty-handed, the author can find out on the recruitment official website of ByteDance that there are indeed two-dimensional open world positions in Hangzhou that are being recruited recently, but this does not mean that the related games developed are similar to "Original God". And from other recruitment information, 101 Studio is not in Hangzhou, but in Shanghai.
It is understood that since the formal establishment of the brand, most of the business is global, of which overseas flow accounts for nearly 80% of the global total flow, not including the "Mu Hitomi" formally acquired last year.
Backed by the huge traffic and mature advertising distribution model of Douyin, today's headlines, Chaoxi Lightyear has successfully released many games, including 9 agent-issued games such as "Dart Man" and "Wulin Idler", as well as "Voyager King: Blood Route" and "All-Star Guild Wars" two games jointly developed with china mobile games, all of which have achieved good results. In May last year, according to the statistics of the OWNER of the B station UP, "The Sailor King's Blood Route" even surpassed the phenomenon-level popular product "Original God" in the same month with 390 million monthly flow.
However, most of the games launched by Daylightyear have been cooperated with well-known manufacturers or published as agents, and a self-developed masterpiece has been lacking. Until November 26 last year, The first self-developed national style cultivation mobile game "Huayishan Heart Month" was officially launched, which is also its first original self-developed game, which dominated the iOS free first on the day of launch, and according to Douyin data, the number of players has exceeded 1.7 million people in less than two hours of going online.
Despite this, the popularity of "Flower Yishan Heart Moon" has only lasted for a while. Dawn lightyear does need a truly representative self-developed blockbuster game to prove itself.
In fact, in the past year, Lightyear has made great efforts to self-research, in addition to "Hua Yi Shan Heart Moon", but also successively announced "Codename: Advent", "Crystal Nucleus" and other self-developed medium and heavy mobile games, and is introducing talents through continuous recruitment. Although the official rumors are not true, according to the official recruitment information and last year's achievements, the future actions of 2022 will be more worthy of attention.
