If NetEase and Blizzard previously planned to launch the server between June and August, then with the change in the domestic game market situation, the World of Warcraft national server is also facing the situation of being "encircled and suppressed", so opening in May has also become a better choice.
A few days after the official announcement of NetEase and Blizzard, the DNF mobile game under the goose factory announced that it would be launched on May 21. While it's not surprising that a game is released on any given day, the timing of the DNF mobile game's launch is really interesting.
Players who pay attention to DNF mobile games know that this game was said to be open 4 years ago, and it was not launched early or late, but it chose to be launched on May 21. You must know that May 21 is the day after the NetEase 520 game conference, and its significance is self-evident.
As the saying goes: "Lonely evidence is not proof", if only one game is chosen on this day, it will be fine, and as a result, another extremely popular domestic 3A masterpiece "Black Myth: Wukong" also put the original release plan scheduled for August 20, directly advanced to May 19 pre-sale, and the pre-sale platform is still WeGame of the goose factory.
Although DNF mobile game and Black Goku are both arpg games (action role-playing games) in the strict sense, while World of Warcraft is an MMORPG game (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), the essence of these three games is RPG games, and both DNF mobile games and Black Goku support multiplayer online, which is essentially exactly the same game type.
You must know that many World of Warcraft players are also DNF players, and the popularity of Black Wukong is so high, it is no coincidence that the goose factory arranged this epic game in the two days before and after the NetEase 520 press conference.
I believe that many players still remember that before the official announcement of the national service, the tower under the goose factory "riding face output", not only ridiculed the national service "whether you come or not, anyway, I'm coming!", but also posted a special video, adding a large number of elements related to the return of the national service, which shows that the two sides themselves are competitive.
The popularity of the return of the national service is extremely high, and the official data given by Weibo is from April 9th to April 10th, the number of readings related to the return of the national service has reached 850 million, and the official announcement has 31 hot searches on the same day. Later, NetEase released the data that the number of reservations for the national service on the day of the official announcement exceeded 200W, and any game manufacturer would be moved by such a big popularity.
Although the current mainstream theory is still that the national server will be opened in June, and the news I heard from NetEase before is also the most likely in June, but in the face of this kind of "encirclement and interception", the time for the national server to be launched may really be advanced.
World of Warcraft Pandaren Mystery will go live on May 16;
The World of Warcraft CTM Nostalgia will be available on May 21;
KK's official battle platform Warcraft monthly card event will start in May;
The deadline for NetEase God's latest monthly card activity is May 22;
The launch time of DNF mobile game is May 21;
Black Myth: Goku's pre-order time is May 19;
NetEase's 2024 game launch event is May 20.
So much time points to May, or even around May 20th, when the national server is not really launched, it must be announced before then.
