On February 1, NetEase's large-scale martial arts RPG game "Condor Shooting", which was carefully built with an investment of 1 billion yuan, successfully completed its paid deletion test stage, and announced an exciting news: the game will be officially open beta in the first half of this year!
Since the Condor project team innovatively proposed the concept of "One World Service", they have always been committed to conveying a core concept to the game industry and the majority of players - the path taken by "Condor Shooting" is completely different from any previous game. This game not only introduced a single server "One World Server" that can accommodate all players, but also introduced an industrial system that can permanently change the pattern of the world's main cities, which are unprecedented innovations.
Exploring the unknown is never easy. The "Condor Shooting" project team has spent countless late nights reflecting on why they chose such a challenging and unprecedentedly uncharted path. However, when they look back at the ultimate goal of the game, all their efforts seem to be of great significance: "Condor Shooting" is determined to become a top Jin Yong martial arts game in the true sense, it promises not to change skin, never open new servers frequently, and never force players to "go to work" to punch in, but to faithfully show the fantasy world of Mr. Jin Yong's pen in front of players.
In the test in July last year, "Condor Shooting" put forward the concept of "one server in the world" that shook the game industry: this is the only server in the world, completely abandoning the ro-ro server model. This innovative move means that all players will share the experience on the same server, without having to worry about developing characters in ghost or new servers. This decision not only demonstrates the courage of the "Condor Shooting" project team, but also shows their determination to create a truly martial arts game that does not roll over, does not work, and does not "go to work".
At the same time, the elaborate creation of Mr. Jin Yong's characters in "Condor Shooting" is also breathtaking. The game is invested regardless of the cost, just to present players with a vivid and real three-dimensional world. Players can live with Jin Yong's knights, accompany them on their adventures, learn from them, and ask for martial arts. Official data shows that in this test, thousands of players have reached a "friendship of life and death" with characters such as Huang Rong and Guo Jing.
The "Condor Shooting" project team is equipped with rich content for each Jin Yong knight, including PV, posters, character introductions, etc. In the game, in addition to the main story, there are also various interaction methods such as character development mechanisms, corresponding exclusive gameplay, and favorability. In addition, the Jin Yong heroes in the game also have their own tempers and personalities, and with the blessing of AI, they are as vivid as real people and have become an indispensable member of this Jianghu.
The PV of Mu Nianci's character released in this test fully demonstrates NetEase's art skills and research on the original work. From the overall look to the design eggs in the details, they all perfectly restore Mu Nianci's heroine image. This also makes players look forward to the exclusive content of other protagonists in "Condor Shooting" such as Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
The unique industrial system and free exploration gameplay of "Condor Shooting" also make this river and lake seem more real.
Players can choose different professional identities, open their own shops, and run various industries. Once these properties are built, they remain permanently in the game's large world for everyone to see and interact with. This open economic system not only provides players with a high degree of freedom, but also allows them to find their own role and lifestyle in the game.
What's even more amazing is that the NPCs in the game have the ability to think and act independently with the blessing of AI. They are no longer simple task granters, but become partners and competitors in the game world. According to the test data, in just three days after the test started, NPCs and players jointly built a bustling city in the big world, and there were several more lively commercial streets in the main city. This in-depth interaction with NPCs allows players to experience a more authentic and rich social experience in the game.
At the same time, "Condor Shooting" also abandoned the traditional model of forcing the liver and krypton in terms of character development. The project team knew that forcing players to go online to complete repetitive and boring daily and weekly tasks would not only damage the fun of the game, but also make players lose their enthusiasm for the game. Therefore, "Condor Shooting" uses a large number of one-time content for players to explore instead of routine gameplay, controlling the expansion of values. Players can explore freely in the game, learn martial arts with swordsmen, learn martial arts with knights, and even teach hawkers who are short of catties and taels with Huang Rong. These rich and diverse gameplay not only allows players to find fun in the game, but also allows them to leave valuable memories in the game.
In addition, "Condor Shooting" has also put a lot of effort into the details. Every nook and cranny of the game hides easter eggs carefully designed by the production team, waiting for players to discover and explore. Whether it is the falling flowers and flowers on both sides of the long street, or the food boxes at the entrance of small shops and restaurants, or the wind chimes in the eaves of ancient temples and the five-element lanterns scattered all over the place, they are all content that players can play interactively. This extreme pursuit of detail not only makes the game world more realistic and vivid, but also allows players to experience an unprecedented sense of immersion in the game.
With the in-depth testing and continuous improvement of "Condor Shooting", we are more and more excited about the open beta of this martial arts masterpiece. It's not just a well-built production, it's an open world full of endless possibilities. In this world, every player can experience unprecedented freedom and interactivity, explore unknown rivers and lakes, and write their own legends. I believe it will bring us a wonderful martial arts feast!
