Good weekend everyone, this is the nostalgic weekly.
[Nostalgic Weekly] is mainly composed of two parts: "Popular Nostalgic Game Dynamics" and "Nostalgic Game New Works".
Let's take a look at what's worth watching this week!
【Popular Nostalgic Game Dynamics】
Blizzard is back and there is a nostalgic craze!
In the Year of the Dragon, Blizzard officially announced that it had reached an agreement with NetEase to return to the Chinese market, and the first Blizzard game will return this summer. All the games that were previously released during the family bucket, as well as other games released by Blizzard during the suspension period, will also return as planned, and the player's account data will be retained intact.
At the first time of Blizzard's return, "Zhuxian World" sent congratulations, and 10 honorary shareholders of World of Warcraft monthly cards were transferred, which can also be discounted into 2 Zhuxian World monthly cards.
Although this wave of "Zhuxian World" seems to be congratulating the return of Warcraft, it is actually implying that his monthly card is cheaper, and he was exposed at a glance in the comments.
And "Guild Wars 2" is much more atmospheric, and it will directly send a national hero gift package, which includes a tavern chair, a Hoblake mountaineering bag, a hero amplifier*2, and a black lion key*2.
In this regard, many players also feel that the wave of "Guild Wars 2" is indeed very atmospheric and patterned.
LOL wants to launch a new way to play Vampire Survivor Like
In a recent developer interview, League of Legends designers admit that they will be playing in a new VvE mode in the style of Vampire Survivors, where players can choose to fight against hordes of enemies alone or with friends, and farm random drops of gear and abilities.
In this regard, many Dota players have expressed their offense:
- What the hell? Protect Athena, right? We have it in 1 generation
- The model is so ugly that even the ability to plagiarize has decreased
- Didn't Glory of Kings have this model for a long time?
Even LOL players find this mode unattractive:
- When will the Six Kills Scramble and Ascension mode be released, and the Nightmare Man-Machine will also work
— It's better to make a chicken map

The national server of "Sword and Soul 2" was announced on April 9, and pre-orders on all platforms were opened. The national version of Sword & Soul 2 will be jointly operated by Xiao Ming Taiji and Tencent Games.
In order to inherit the gameplay characteristics of the Sword and Soul IP and bring players a more extreme game experience, the development team of "Sword and Soul 2" is in full swing to optimize and upgrade the graphics, combat operations, and new gameplay for the national server version.
The official promises that unlike the international server version, the national server will use the dungeon as the core to produce equipment cultivation line, will create a more refreshing combat feel through manual operation, and maximize the actual combat efficiency, will strengthen the combat parts that can change the state of the object such as parrying, dodging, and knockdown, and add different martial arts that can be activated according to different state changes......
To put it bluntly, the version of the national server will be full of "national server features" in order to meet players' expectations for the sequel to "Sword and Soul", rather than being an automatic on-hook skin change legend like the international server.

The new work of "God of War" is suspected to be in development: Santa Monica's recruitment information is now on the way!
According to a job posting posted by Santa Monica Studios, they appear to be working on a new God of War title, as the position requires candidates to be familiar with God of War and God of War: Ragnarok.
Foreign media pointed out that although the new work of "God of War" is in development, considering the huge impact of the last two generations of "God of War" on PlayStation, it is very likely that the series will continue to be produced at some point, and this recruitment revelation is actually undoubtedly a big clue.
So, it's time to start telling the story about Kuiye's son becoming a hero?
Dead Space 2 Remastered may have been canceled by EA
On April 10, EA announced that EA Motive Studios, the developer of Dead Space Remastered, had joined the Battlefield series development team, and that Motive would collaborate with EA's other studios DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect to "build a Battlefield universe that spans both multiplayer and single-player games."
Considering Dead Space Remake's lacklustre sales numbers and player reputation, this news is likely to suggest that EA has canceled development plans for Dead Space 2 Remake.
Industry journalist Jeff Grubb pointed out that EA Motive had been interested in developing Dead Space 2: Remake, but EA was not satisfied with the sales of Dead Space 1: Remastered and canceled the second remaster.
Of course, it's never too late to fry this bowl of cold rice, so Jeff Grubb wasn't sure whether Sony canceled the entire project or if EA Motive was simply too busy to postpone the development of Dead Space 2: Remake.
