Blizzard and NetEase officially announced their "remarriage" last week, and it is only a matter of time before the return of Blizzard's national server for the game. This reunion has greatly eased the relationship between the two sides, such as the linkage between some game IPs has also been put back on the agenda.
This morning, Blizzard Games and NetEase Games officially announced the news of the upcoming linkage. It's just that the linkage object makes players a little confused. Because in this linkage event, "Diablo Immortal", a Western fantasy dungeon-style game, will cooperate with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", an oriental fantasy Xianxia-style game.
NetEase Games shouted on Weibo: "Li Xiaoyao called you to come to the sheltered place to fight monsters~ "Diablo: Immortal" X "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" linkage decision! On April 24th, "One Sword Escape" opened a new era of immortal immortal cultivation! One is a classic of Western magic, and the other is the eternal memory of Eastern Xianxia, the dark universe and the sword and fairy rivers and lakes are intertwined with time and space, and the two major IPs work together to slay demons and eliminate demons. ”
In the trailer short film of "Diablo Immortal" X "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the main tone still reflects the gray defeat of "Diablo: Immortal", but the familiar Li Xiaoyao, the Lock Demon Tower and the flight of the sword are all the texture of Xianxia games. In the past, for the linkage between different game IPs, players generally used "double kitchen ecstasy", but this time it is difficult for everyone to accept it calmly.
In the comment area of the official blog, the netizen with the highest number of likes said: "It feels like Li Xiaoyao took the blue fury given by the wine sword fairy and slashed Kane to death while studying the water spirit bead in the Lock Demon Tower, and also took away his World Stone fragments, and the Moon Worship Sect Master who heard the news told him that if he used platinum coins, he could buy more dark gold gems in the auction house." ”
The netizens who unconsciously substituted the protagonist into it made up the scene of Li Xiaoyao's transfer to a necromancer.
But more players still can't understand where these two game IPs can find a linkage angle.
In previous collaborations, there is no shortage of "strange things" in the linkage objects of "Diablo: Immortal". For example, "Werewolf Killing" and Sinochem (you read that right) have all cooperated with this Blizzard game IP. In the field of crossover, Diablo Immortal stands out for a non-bottleneck limit.
At the moment, the way of "Diablo Immortal" X "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been exposed. It is reported that the linkage version will launch a new Lock Demon Tower Secret Realm, Moon Worship Master Fashion, Li Xiaoyao Fashion, Little Grass Demon Demon Skin, Legendary Equipment of Various Professions, Linkage Gems, Edgeworth Flying Mounts and other content.
I don't know what you want to say about this cross-border linkage?
