On February 1, NetEase's new big world martial arts RPG game "Condor Shooting" created with a huge investment of 1 billion yuan successfully completed its paid deletion test stage, and announced exciting news: In the first half of this year, "Condor Shooting" will be officially open beta!
Ever since the Condor project team came up with the innovative concept of "One World Server", they have been showcasing the uniqueness of the game to the gaming community and players at large. "Condor Shooting" takes a very different path from previous games.
The answer is actually hidden in their product goal: "Condor Shooting" aims to create a top Jin Yong martial arts game that does not need to change skin, no rolling, and no overwork, and truly shows the fantasy world of Mr. Jin Yong's pen in front of players.
Judging by the performance of this test and the set of design concepts that Condor has come up with in the past that are relevant to players, they are really working towards this goal. They dare to put forward the goal of creating the top Jin Yong game, which is backed by the strong support of 1 billion R&D funds and their solid foundation.
"One server in the world", this is the concept proposed by "Condor Shooting" in the test last July. This means that there is only one server in the entire game world, and all players share the gaming experience on this platform. There is no roll-on/roll-off, no merging, and all the player's input will be retained permanently. No longer have to worry about the server becoming a ghost suit and no one cares about it, and you don't have to worry about changing to a new server and having to develop a character from scratch.
In fact, opening a new server frequently is no different from cutting leeks. In order to make money, many martial arts games will open new servers after the loss of old players, attract players to invest in new servers through various recharge and rebate methods, and harvest players again and again. "Condor Shooting"'s "One World Uniform" is a kind of courage to categorically reject this behavior, and it also shows their determination to create a game that truly does not require rolling clothes and does not require overwork!
And seeing this design, many martial arts players are so angry that they slap the table and scold: your other games say that they don't have liver or krypton, but they haven't opened so many servers, what rebate service veteran service nostalgic service, the essence is just cutting leeks!
In "Shooting the Condor", Jin Yong's knights have become lifelike. The game development team spared no expense to create these characters, just to present players with a realistic and three-dimensional martial arts world. Players can live with these knights, explore the rivers and lakes, and learn martial arts. According to official statistics, in this test, a total of 2,219 players formed a "friend of life and death" with Huang Rong, and 1,182 players established a deep friendship with Guo Jing.
The "Condor Shooting" project team has prepared a wealth of content for each Jin Yong knight, including PV, posters, character introductions outside the game, as well as the main plot in the game, character training system, exclusive gameplay and favorability system. And, in a game world that is synchronized with real time, these heroes will also have their own schedules and random side quests.
These heroes all have their own personalities and stories, and with the support of advanced AI technology, they become as alive as real-world people. The MV of Mu Nianci's character released in this test fully demonstrates NetEase's artistic strength and respect for the original work. From the overall image to the detailed design, it perfectly restores Mu Nianci's heroine style.
The Condor industry's system gives players a high degree of freedom and the right to rebuild. Players can choose different professional identities, open their own shops, and run their own industries. What is striking is that these structures are not decorations in separate spaces, but are permanently preserved in the larger world for all to enjoy and interact with. NPCs are no longer simple background boards, but living beings with thoughts and action tracks. Together with the player, they build the city and create a bustling commercial district, which fills the whole world with life and vitality.
The introduction of the intelligent construction function makes it easy for both architectural and design novices to realize their industrial dreams. No matter what style you prefer, you'll find something for yourself.
In Condor Shooting, players don't need to be bound by boring daily and weekly tasks, and they don't need to worry about the pressure of numerical inflation. The game replaces the routine gameplay with a large number of one-time content for players to explore, allowing players to explore and discover freely in the free and unfettered world of rivers and lakes. Compete with the swordsman, learn martial arts with the knights, and teach the hawkers with Huang Rong...... These are all ways to play that you are free to choose. And small details such as the five-element lanterns scattered around the world and the wind chimes at the eaves of ancient temples hide easter eggs carefully designed by the production team, waiting for you to discover.
In order to make the exploration of running pictures more easy and interesting, "Shooting the Condor" also implements the "Condor" running map function. Under the traction of the white eagle, players can soar into the sky and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the rivers and lakes. It is said that in this test, all players can fly a white eagle for a combined distance of two and a half weeks around the equator, which undoubtedly adds more fun to the player's exploration journey.
With its unique industry system, one-time exploration content and free world of rivers and lakes, "Condor Shooting" brings players an unprecedented martial arts online game experience. There's no such thing as a scheming routine, just freedom, exploration, and endless surprises to discover. Come and join this vibrant and creative world!
