Recently, a joint event between Peace Elite and the Japanese anime Evangelion (EVA) has attracted many complaints from players. Usually, the linkage between games and other IPs is to expand the gameplay and increase the stickiness of users. What's more, EVA has always had a "linkage demon", and netizens have ridiculed: "You can see EVA anywhere except the movie theater." "How did you get here and roll over?"
Most netizens have complained that the linkage sincerity of "Peace Elite" is not enough, and the gameplay is not novel enough. In contrast, the old rival "Wilderness Action" has been linked with EVA as early as 19 years, and as early as that time, "Wild Operation" introduced a new gameplay, players can fight with the apostles. Also linked, "Wilderness Action" is much more interesting.
Recently, "Wilderness Action" has been another wave of fire: with its linkage with "Three-Body", it has taken a fierce scenery. Not only did it appear in the official media at home, but it also caused an uproar overseas. The popularity of "Three-Body" in China need not be said, but many people do not know that the sales performance of "Three-Body" overseas is even more amazing. It sold out of stock in the first week of its listing in Japan. Former U.S. President Barack Obama and well-known director Makoto Shinkai will personally send emails to Liu Cixin to urge changes. It is conceivable how much this linkage will be highly anticipated.
"Three-Body Problem" has such a large card face, which can be linked with "Wilderness Action", and the popularity of "Wilderness Action" itself is inseparable. "Wilderness Action" not only climbed into the top ten of the hot list last year, but also made a big move in the "Wilderness Action Day" in the middle of last year. May 5th was officially recognized by Japan as the annual festival of the Wilderness Action game.
During the fourth anniversary, major social media platforms, as well as mainstream gaming media such as 4gmaer, tracked the event. The game official not only invited the popular Japanese comedy group "NONSTYLE" to shoot advertisements, and strongly created the theme concept of the welfare event of "the greatest thanks in the history of the wilderness"; it also invited the famous Japanese composer Hiroyuki Sawano to compose the anniversary theme song "Never stop" to present the players. The 3-hour live broadcast of the celebration attracted countless netizens to clap their hands.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the linkage between "Wilderness Action" and "Three-Body Problem" can have such high expectations. With its own strength, "Wilderness Action" presents the "Three-Body" world depicted by Liu Cixin under the screen, allowing players to face the survival fear brought by the "Three Suns". Let players personally experience the charm of Chinese science fiction, further expand the influence of Chinese science fiction IP in the world, and let the world know that China also has its own game culture.
Nowadays, the game field is still not the world of foreigners, and China can design high-quality game content and achieve cultural output, and the pattern is suddenly opened. At the same time, I also hope that "Peace Elite" can also continuously optimize itself and walk out of its own game characteristic path.
