Text |jinx1, according to the 21st Century Business Herald, a number of people familiar with the matter recently told the ** that the "compounding" of NetEase and Blizzard is already on the agenda. According to industry insiders, the core of this re-cooperation is still to value the huge potential of the Chinese market.
In addition, internal changes such as the departure of Bobby Kotick are also the reasons for the turnaround in cooperation.
Although neither Blizzard China nor NetEase have given a clear response, it is worth noting that the World of Warcraft community in NetEase's gamer forum app "NetEase God" has recently resumed its update, adding new content including Battle of the Center of the Earth and Warcraft Exploration Server.
Zhang Shule, an industry leader, analyzed this, and he said: Microsoft is in a hurry, Blizzard is even more anxious, and domestic game manufacturers are not in a hurry. Choosing NetEase is the shortest path for Blizzard's national server to reopen, and it is also one of the best choices for Microsoft to transform Blizzard's IP mobile games.
There are no eternal friends in the mall, only eternal interests. In Zhang Shule's view, the departure of Activision Blizzard's CEO is also a step forward in a sense.
It is extremely important to develop mobile games through Activision Blizzard IP, especially to jointly develop Activision Blizzard IP mobile games with Chinese game manufacturers, to quickly form Blizzard's influence in the mobile game market, and to learn from the experience of mobile game research and operation. Zhang Shule believes that the two sides need to complete three main tasks: the stable operation of old games, the research and operation of new games with old IPs, and the promotion of joint research and development.
