Let's welcome the IG team!

When the IG team entered the arena, the deafening cheers and shouts made players from other countries realize that the Chinese audience's cheers and applause earlier were merely out of politeness.

From a purely visual perspective, VR games don't offer the same immersive experience as wearing a VR headset at home.

To be honest, in terms of visual effects, for ordinary games, especially when the finals are played offline, the experience is never as good as watching on a tablet or computer at home.

Why do so many spectators still go to watch the games live? Why are tickets for popular matches so hard to come by?

Because of the atmosphere at the event, surrounded by game enthusiasts like yourself, everyone experiencing the same joys and sorrows, the sense of belonging and excitement it brings far exceeds that of an offline event.

While the visual effects offline may not be as good as online, they are unmatched in other aspects.

Chen Ran and Chen Chi also contributed to this game; some of the game designs were their work.

Looking at the enthusiastic audience, Chen Ran felt both proud and apprehensive.

I'm proud that I contributed to this game, but I'm wary of Tencent's powerful operational capabilities.

The fact that the first competition could generate such a buzz is a testament to the combination of the game's quality and Tencent's powerful operations.

Chen Chi glanced at Chen Ran beside him, whose face was stern and whose body was tense, and comforted him:

"Ran-ge, we're here to relax and watch the game today. Don't overthink it. We already have a lot of work to do."

"Even if Hero's End is successful, our project has very little overlap with Hero's End's target customer group."

"Besides, we've already built up a fan base, so there's not much to worry about."

Chen Ran and his team named their project "The Wings of Breaking the Law," which tells the story of the revival of spiritual energy at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Against this backdrop, players will experience all sorts of bizarre events during the strange and fantastical Tianqi era.

The main storyline revolves around solving the Wanggongchang explosion that occurred in the southwest corner of Yanjing City in the sixth year of the Tianqi reign, thus saving the lives of more than 20,000 citizens.

The game's premise is unremarkable and, in today's booming entertainment industry, it doesn't even qualify as novel.

Judging from a project alone, most investors would conclude that it involves a large investment and carries high risk.

However, when Red Fox Studio, founded by Chen Ran and his team, released its first promotional video, it quickly sparked heated discussions in the console gaming community.

The promotional CG effects were so well done that their realism is among the best in the world.

Players have high expectations, but they dare not have too high expectations, because they have been badly let down by domestic game developers over the years.

There are plenty of companies that put their heart into CG but neglect game development.

Judging solely from CG animation, Red Fox Studio undoubtedly possesses considerable talent.

However, having the ability to create a game and whether it's a good game are not strongly correlated.

Moreover, most players are skeptical of a startup game studio they've never heard of.

The startup team behind Black Myth: Wukong had at least worked on Red Tide, and the core team had previously worked on Fighting God.

The Red Fox remains shrouded in mystery to the outside world.

Chen Ran and his team released a CG animation, managed the company's Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, and other accounts for a while, and occasionally posted a few preview images to entice players before stopping there.

Until recently, after six months of polishing, Red Fox Studio released a gameplay demo video on Weibo and Bilibili, which quickly caused a sensation in the gaming community.

While mobile game players don't believe in the so-called gameplay demos, console game demos are generally quite credible.

After all, player reviews are very important in the Chinese console gaming community. If your product doesn't live up to expectations, you'll be bombarded with one-star reviews when the game is released.

"Wings of the Law" is a console game that was first released on VR, so the gameplay demos are only available in VR.

The gameplay demo, which boasts visuals that surpass all current VR games, has immediately raised players' expectations to the max.

"I'd buy it immediately just for this picture."

"This effect is even better than Black Myth; the immersion in Cthulhu is too strong."

"Most importantly, the art style incorporates Chinese architectural elements, but the natural scenery in the demonstration images also clearly conveys a Western fantasy and eerie feel."

The combination of these two elements doesn't feel jarring; instead, it feels like it was meant to be.

The lead artist for Red Fox is absolutely a top-tier talent; I wonder which industry heavyweight they managed to recruit.

"The game mechanics seem somewhat similar to the skill point system in Diablo. The combat visuals are fairly standard. With such excellent graphics, if the story is well-developed, it will definitely be a masterpiece."

Even after the gameplay demo was released, Red Fox Studio maintained its secretive approach and did not grant any media interviews.

The scarcity marketing strategy has been taken to its extreme.

If the media can't find out who's behind Red Fox Studio, can't the big companies find out?

Tencent quickly uncovered the founding team behind Red Fox Studio.

After all, most of their team members came from Tencent and still keep in touch with their former colleagues.

"I'm sending you something great. Check it out on Bilibili for VR. It's absolutely amazing."

"Hey, I thought it was something big, but it's just this."

"This is the hottest console game in the industry recently. It has been viewed over a million times on Bilibili. A certain content creator converted the video into a flat format and uploaded it to the regular version of Bilibili. The number of views on mobile devices has exceeded ten million."

This art director is amazing; the visual effects are truly stunning.

"Oh, the main beauty is Tracy."
