The Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 preview is finally here, and at the beginning of this preview livestream, the Pinocone theme song "Sleepless Nights" teased by the production team appeared. Since Star Dome Railway invited Zhang Jie to sing this song this time, players are generally still very concerned about the quality of this song. Judging from the results, this song is quite popular, just Xiaopo Station, the playback volume of "Sleepless Night" broke one million within an hour, and it was also on the hot search on Weibo and Xiaopo Station at the same time.
Not only Zhang Jie's version of "Sleepless Night" has been well received, but also by American male singer Jake Miller (Jake? Mijler) has also been recognized by players. In particular, the dance of the protagonist and the gold dust at the beginning has conquered many overseas players, and within an hour of the song's launch, many players have already called on miHoYo on YouTube to release the full version of "Sleepless Night".
This time, the song "Sleepless Night" is not only a good song, but the information exposed by the picture of the song is also quite large. For example, who is the girl who is playing happily with our protagonist, although in the previous official materials, we learned that her name is "Liuying", but what her identity and ability are, the official has not revealed. Such a seemingly innocent girl appeared on the Pinocone stage, if she didn't have any ability, I am afraid that she would be more than lucky.
In addition, "Sam", who has never been in direct contact with players before, and "Yellow Spring", a sea patrol ranger who is suspected of being "Mei Yi", also appear in this song. Judging from the footage released in the OP, it seems that these two are fighting. And judging from the various cool pictures that burst out in the battle, the battle situation is also quite intense, and why it caused the Sea Patrol Ranger to attack the Star Core Hunter, it seems that it will not be revealed until the official version is launched.
In addition, it is also worth doubting whether the giant Sambo who appeared in the OP is himself, although we players all know that Sambo is very likely to be a believer in pleasure, but he has also previously said in the plot that he does not want to meet with another drama master "Hanabi". Considering that Hanabi has announced that it will enter the card pool in the second half of 2.0, is it possible that this gigantic Sambo was created by Hanabi? And we still have evidence, the lyrics about fireworks in the OP are also "You participate in this scene", which also indirectly proves that fireworks did come to an end.
And the 2.0 preview revelation after the Third World OP is also very informative, because it basically satisfies players' fantasies about the new world. Before the 2.0 preview live broadcast was launched, the production team released a series of foreshadowing, which raised everyone's expectations for the preview live broadcast. And at the beginning of the live broadcast, the production team instantly increased the interest of players through the new OP "Sleepless Night", which pulled players into their own rhythm.
Since then, the famous screenwriter "Roast Chicken Teacher" under miHoYo has been invited to reflect the story tone of 2.0 as "warm sunshine". Just when players began to joke about "warm sunshine", the production team began to slowly introduce new maps, new characters, new enemies and new ways to play. And this content has always been closely related to Pinoconi's theme "Dreams".
It can be seen that with the increase in the number of live broadcasts, the experience of the Star Dome Railway production team has become more and more abundant, and the content of the live broadcast has also changed from the original release of game information to a performance. When to talk about game content, when to talk about benefits, and when to talk about other information, the official has been deliberately guiding. This makes the whole process of the preview process silky and smooth, and at the same time, it also allows the audience to watch the preview live broadcast to have information to accept all the time, which makes the live broadcast atmosphere quite harmonious.
Treating the version update as a "game launch" to operate and constantly raising the fixed expectations of players, Xingtie's approach is a new path that the core long-term products of major game manufacturers are exploring. The background is that at the moment when players are distracted, what games to choose and whether they can stay are more and more dependent on how much charm the product content itself can show and how much it can mobilize the emotions of players. Let the player see the freshness first, and then there will be.
The reason why Xingtie can continue to be forward-looking and run at the forefront of the industry is not only the accurate self-positioning of aiming at the long-term, but also the determination to invest steadily and be willing to invest. Therefore, on the basis of understanding players, it can present what players want, and in the process of constantly responding to players' expectations, it has formed a unique tacit understanding between products and players. So as a player in front of the screen, what do you think of the preview live broadcast of Star Rail 2.0?
