| 14s | Your food is served, ladies and gentlemen! |
|---|---|
| 42s | Help! Chef, save me— |
| 131s | Welcome, one and all |
| 132s | to the launch for this year's NARAKA Fest Direct! |
| 134s | Today we'll be doing more than just revealing key content. |
| 138s | We'll also be inviting Ray Kwan |
| 139s | and other developers |
| 140s | to discuss this new content |
| 142s | along with stories about its creation |
| 143s | Let's welcome Ray Kwan! |
| 144s | Hello everyone, |
| 145s | my name is Ray Kwan. |
| 146s | Right! |
| 147s | We're very glad to have Ray Kwan here |
| 149s | to share such a wealth of great new NARAKA content with us all. |
| 151s | Speaking of which |
| 153s | Let's begin with something I know you've all been waiting for: |
| 156s | our latest weapon. |
| 157s | That's right: |
| 157s | You might have noticed a little hint we left for you— |
| 161s | an Easter egg, hidden at the end of the clip |
| 164s | showing our Spear Congenic weapon, the Staff. |
| 167s | Haha, I remember that! |
| 167s | Yeah |
| 168s | That shot of the monk almost tripping over a weapon, |
| 170s | That Looked like a Polesword straight out of the Three Kingdoms Legends! |
| 174s | That's right. |
| 174s | Yeah, it's our latest addition: |
| 178s | the Greatsword Congenic weapon, the Polesword. |
| 180s | Share with us, Ray, the details of this new weapon. |
| 183s | Sure. |
| 185s | It's based on weapons first used during the Western Han. |
| 188s | Compared to other swords of its time, |
| 190s | this progenitor had a wider and longer blade, |
| 194s | a fearsome thing to face in battle. |
| 196s | As time went on, |
| 198s | its design changed to have a long handle, |
| 200s | and it evolved into the Polesword we see today. |
| 203s | The Polesword has a much longer hilt than the Greatsword, |
| 205s | the latter being about 1:1; half blade half hilt. |
| 208s | The ratio is about 3:1 with the Polesword, though. |
| 211s | It's a top-heavy weapon |
| 213s | with a huge reach, |
| 215s | granting massive centrifugal force |
| 217s | able to send even enemies on horseback flying. |
| 222s | In the history we have |
| 224s | the 'Three pointed double-edged blade' |
| 226s | and Guan Yu's 'Green Dragon Crescent Blade'. |
| 227s | You mentioned its use against cavalry: |
| 230s | would you need to be on horseback yourself |
| 233s | to fully utilize its power? |
| 235s | Not exactly, no, |
| 237s | as there's no horses in NARAKA for now. |
| 239s | The Polesword will bring loads of new ways |
| 242s | to play with its Souljades, though. |
| 245s | You touched upon Guan Yu |
| 247s | and his 'Green Dragon Crescent Blade', right? |
| 249s | There's a tale about him |
| 250s | that inspired our Souljade,"The Overcomer" |
| 252s | It's called 'crossing five passes and slaying six generals'. |
| 254s | With it, you'll ride upon a mighty steed to gallop across the battlefield, |
| 257s | a fearsome force to be reckoned with as you wield your Polesword! |
| 259s | So I guess you could say that this Souljade lends players |
| 262s | some serious 'horsepower', eh? |
| 264s | Indeed. |
| 266s | So when will players be able to try out |
| 268s | the Polesword for themselves? |
| 269s | We're aiming for a February release. |
| 274s | February? |
| 274s | I can't wait! |
| 276s | And in the meantime |
| 277s | we can read up and get familiar with it. |
| 279s | So that we will be able to flatten the opposition |
| 281s | as soon as the Polesword drops! |
| 283s | That's right. |
| 284s | Yeah, the Polesword will be arriving in February. |
| 286s | You'll have to wait a little longer |
| 288s | before you can lay waste to your opponents with one! |
| 333s | My Trouble is not that scary, is he? |
| 438s | Hello! We're back again, |
| 440s | and on the topic of Feria Shen. |
| 441s | She made an appearance |
| 443s | back in our anniversary video. |
| 445s | Many were enchanted by her, |
| 446s | as she flashed a mischievous smile from behind her hood. |
| 449s | She's quite the force to be reckoned with, am I right, Ray? |
| 452s | You are indeed! |
| 454s | Did you see the Musket she was armed with |
| 457s | back in that video? |
| 458s | Yeah. |
| 458s | Fighting against Matari. |
| 462s | Our new hero Feria is more than just a sharp-shooter. |
| 466s | She's a mastermind when it comes to building weapons! |
| 469s | In NARAKA, there's a region known as Eternia |
| 471s | and within which a power called Valtheca |
| 474s | Valtheca aided Eternia in its weapons development throughout history, |
| 478s | from cold hard steel all the way to artillery. |
| 480s | Take the 'Meteor', for example |
| 482s | is developed by Valtheca themselves. |
| 486s | Yeah. |
| 486s | Feria Shen is one of the Valtheca, |
| 488s | that has been developing powerful new armaments for Eternia. |
| 494s | She's among the greatest weapons researchers around. |
| 497s | That's Feria's back story. |
| 499s | What about her gameplay? |
| 501s | When we finally meet Feria, |
| 504s | What about her sets Feria apart |
| 506s | from other heroes' gameplay? |
| 508s | A whole lot. |
| 510s | We mentioned just now that she's an inventor of sorts. |
| 512s | As such, she wages battle using the tech she's created |
| 515s | —including her Bronze Mech. |
| 519s | She refers to it as 'Trouble', |
| 521s | a rather cute name |
| 522s | for a hulking metal mech. |
| 523s | Yeah. |
| 524s | Aside from her good looks and willful nature, |
| 526s | Feria's also really mischievous. |
| 528s | And her Bronze Mech really means business. |
| 530s | It sets the battlefield aflame with a Swarm on each arm |
| 535s | It's great for unloading a clip at crowds |
| 537s | With her first Ultimate variant she can soar airborne |
| 541s | to apply pressure from above |
| 544s | I know what you're thinking does this render the Vajra useless |
| 547s | Well first and foremost |
| 548s | a fortress it may be |
| 550s | but its front is relatively exposed |
| 553s | If their aim is on point |
| 554s | a Vajra could snatch Feria |
| 556s | right out of her pilot's seat |
| 558s | The Bronze Mech's |
| 559s | a handy companion |
| 560s | for sure |
| 562s | but it doesn't offer |
| 563s | her absolute protection from foes |
| 566s | Right |
| 567s | She's more of a |
| 569s | mid-long range support type |
| 571s | I'd say |
| 572s | that's where she's strongest |
| 574s | If enemies push up close and get in her face |
| 576s | or if a Vajra swings a fist right at her |
| 578s | then she's in trouble. |
| 582s | So there's a certain strat that |
| 585s | other heroes can employ |
| 586s | when Feria's upon her Bronze Mech. |
| 588s | They can attack its body parts to take it down. |
| 591s | Her first skill variant lets you apply pressure from above, up in midair. |
| 595s | And her second variant |
| 597s | opens up some space around the mech, |
| 599s | meaning nearby allies can dish out damage |
| 602s | without being put in harm's way. |
| 604s | Some protection? |
| 605s | Yes. |
| 605s | It seems Feria is a strong all-round hero. |
| 609s | When exactly will we get to try her out ourselves? |
| 613s | We plan to have Feria Shen in-game by December 22nd. |
| 617s | Okay! That's our next big news for you all, then; |
| 619s | you'll get to meet Feria Shen properly as of December 22nd. |
| 636s | Aside from Feria, we've also got more news: |
| 638s | the Spark Season is well underway! |
| 640s | That's right. |
| 641s | Aside from Feria, |
| 642s | what else do players have to look forward to? |
| 644s | We've prepared a new beginner's tutorial, |
| 647s | one that'll bring you closer to the game's rich lore. |
| 652s | There's loads of additions to other in-game content too |
| 654s | that'll aid newbies, |
| 656s | easing them into the world of NARAKA |
| 658s | They'll bring up the immersion |
| 660s | and increase the fun, |
| 662s | that's the first one. |
| 663s | And secondly, |
| 665s | Tianhai's joining Showdown |
| 667s | with his new weapon, the Staff, in hand. |
| 669s | On top of that, |
| 671s | there's something else |
| 672s | I know you've all been eagerly awaiting— |
| 751s | Whoa! These new cosmetics are insane! |
| 753s | Let's hear what our lead art designer Johnny |
| 756s | has to say about them! |
| 758s | Hi, everyone. |
| 759s | Actually, Johnny, |
| 760s | there's something I've always wanted to ask: |
| 762s | How do you go about |
| 763s | making such awesome outfits for NARAKA? |
| 766s | We can't get enough of them. |
| 768s | I reckon it's a result of both our passion and technical skills |
| 771s | We're gamers too, |
| 772s | So we know we've got to love our own designs |
| 774s | if the players are going to like them. |
| 776s | That aside, |
| 776s | we work with loads of great talent |
| 778s | from devs to marketing team, |
| 780s | all helping out. |
| 781s | Lots of the cosmetics draw inspirations from |
| 784s | the game lore, high-profile collabs, and so on. |
| 787s | Right. |
| 787s | Looking over all NARAKA: BLADEPOINT cosmetics, |
| 790s | and there's a whole lot, |
| 791s | which would you say is your favorite? |
| 793s | That's a tricky question. |
| 796s | We've poured our heart and soul |
| 798s | into the design of each one, after all! |
| 800s | Take Valda Cui's 'Merfolk Finery', for example, |
| 803s | it's a close-fitting number |
| 804s | that really shows off her curves |
| 808s | that we hope brings to life her personality |
| 811s | as the Mistbreak Dragoness. |
| 813s | To have it really shine, |
| 814s | we had our techies create a new function |
| 817s | that allows for dynamic fish-scale effects; just for this outfit! |
| 820s | That much painstaking effort goes into all our cosmetics, huh? |
| 824s | Given our designers work so hard on every outfits, |
| 827s | it's really tough for me to choose one over another. |
| 829s | As of late, though, |
| 830s | one I've really taken a liking to is the Colossus of Sunwing. |
| 834s | Because we've been keen on telling a story with our cosmetics. |
| 836s | From planning out the back story, |
| 839s | to the art design, |
| 841s | and through the anniversary video, |
| 843s | it's a desire of ours that has only grown stronger. |
| 845s | Indeed. |
| 846s | I've been saving money for those cosmetics |
| 848s | ever since the anniversary video dropped! |
| 852s | Did you come prepared with |
| 854s | any sneak previews of new content for us, Johnny? |
| 858s | Well we all saw Feria Shen, |
| 860s | our new mech-pilot, just now. |
| 862s | It's Chinese New Year in a month or so |
| 864s | There'll be a all-new New Year Lucky Lantern, |
| 867s | and we'll be really bringing out her role as a mech pilot |
| 871s | as we prepare her an eye-catching new outfit. |
| 874s | Speaking of the holiday, |
| 875s | there'll be lots more cosmetics |
| 877s | that'll usher in the festive spirit, |
| 879s | like firework Pistols |
| 882s | and firecracker Nunchucks. |
| 884s | Besides, |
| 885s | we have prepared an awesome lightning-themed Spear skin, |
| 890s | as well as outfits for Yueshan and Justina Gu |
| 892s | that will be put in the New Year Lucky Lantern. |
| 896s | Oh, |
| 896s | and the Spring Lanterns we've seen before |
| 899s | will also be returning for a limited time. |
| 901s | Looks like we'll spend the holiday playing NARAKA again. |
| 904s | Maybe the world in the Morus Isle |
| 906s | is going to be as festive as in real life. |
| 910s | Since Ray's not here, |
| 911s | can you tell me one little secret? |
| 913s | Is he an anime nerd? |
| 915s | I hear he's always wearing Ghost in the Shell |
| 917s | and Gundam T-shirts around the office. |
| 922s | Did that play a part in the new Feria Shen designs, perhaps? |
| 924s | No, of course not. Who told you that? |
| 927s | Wind. |
| 928s | Don't listen to him. He's the anime nerd, if anyone! |
| 930s | Always tinkering away at his |
| 933s | [REDACTED]! |
| 934s | What is that? |
| 934s | I heard it and now I can't even tell— |
| 936s | Hey, hey, hey! Cut, cut, cut! |
| 937s | Edit it out! |
| 938s | Ray's the anime nerd. |
| 948s | Clash League has begun! |
| 950s | Come join the fun! |
| 1025s | Clash League has been going on for a week. |
| 1027s | You know, Wind. |
| 1028s | It's a right blast, playing esports with friends. |
| 1031s | I played several games last week, |
| 1032s | I can get an idea for the kind of pressure |
| 1035s | Pro players must be under! |
| 1036s | I'll go easier on them |
| 1037s | when commentating matches in future. |
| 1039s | So, Wind, |
| 1040s | what do you think really sets Clash League apart |
| 1043s | from The Herald? |
| 1045s | Clash League is designed |
| 1046s | more for our players to think like pros, |
| 1050s | to understand the differences between the matches. |
| 1054s | For example, |
| 1055s | the reason why pro players need better strategies |
| 1058s | to get Morus' Blessing is that |
| 1062s | it has to be unlocked, |
| 1063s | but players that mostly play The Herald might not get it. |
| 1067s | And there'll be more parties if players are in Clash League, |
| 1072s | and everyone's going to get along better |
| 1075s | with lots more friends |
| 1077s | and have some even more thrilling and exciting experiences in-game. |
| 1081s | The Clash League's a blast. |
| 1083s | But how should I sharpen my skills if I want to up my game? |
| 1087s | The J CUP！ |
| 1089s | Yes, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT World Championship. |
| 1191s | The long-awaited J Cup Finale begins tomorrow! |
| 1193s | As the official commentator |
| 1195s | I've a lot to say about it all! |
| 1196s | Each day at 4pm, through December 15 to 18, |
| 1199s | the greatest teams from across the globe |
| 1202s | will be testing their might in a 4-day showdown. |
| 1204s | First, let's look back over |
| 1206s | the team roster for the Finale. |
| 1223s | Is there any player |
| 1224s | that you think might do well in the final? |
| 1226s | Well, as part of the devs team, I can't just say whom I support, |
| 1230s | Yeah |
| 1230s | Except for Dao1Hui. |
| 1232s | Yep, I think he'll definitely win the championship! |
| 1234s | I think he's got tons of support, |
| 1236s | whether that's good luck or bad luck. |
| 1240s | What about teams? Which one do you support? |
| 1243s | I'd say GG. |
| 1246s | I think they've done a very good job |
| 1247s | in terms of execution, direction, command, |
| 1249s | and strategy management as we've seen so far, |
| 1253s | so I think they might keep winning more honors |
| 1257s | after the NBPL S2. |
| 1259s | Indeed. |
| 1260s | These teams fought their way to the J Cup final and earned a place here. |
| 1263s | It's enough proof that they cannot be taken lightly. |
| 1266s | As we've seen in previous seasons, |
| 1268s | teams in the J Cup final, |
| 1270s | no matter where they are from, be it Europe or Vietnam, |
| 1272s | are all unequivocally best of the best. |
| 1276s | I hear some Vietnamese players are super skilled and fierce. |
| 1279s | Let me put it this way, for our Chinese players, |
| 1281s | don't underestimate your opponents. |
| 1284s | There's a load of great competition hailing from all over the world! |
| 1288s | Alright! Well, aside from the upcoming tournament, |
| 1290s | I'm sure lots of players want to know |
| 1291s | if there are any bonus rewards. |
| 1293s | The answer is yes! |
| 1294s | Head to the Event Center in-game |
| 1295s | and click [Victory Reforged] |
| 1297s | to join in the event! |
| 1298s | There you'll find Extreme skins, |
| 1300s | Treasure, exclusive event items and loads of other goodies! |

| 1345s | you can build snowmen in-game in December, |
| 1347s | and get loads of rewards. |

| 1391s | Enough talking, though. |
| 1392s | It's time to check out what great offers are available. |
| 1395s | Wind, I hear we have another great news. |
| 1397s | That's right! |
| 1397s | We're finally launching on Xbox One on December 22. |
| 1400s | Pre-order now! |
| 1450s | It's finally the time for exclusive reveals! |
| 1453s | The clip that we played just now dropped a lot of information. |
| 1456s | I'm sure you couldn't wait to tell us about it, too. |
| 1458s | So, let's break it down one by one. |
| 1461s | First, as we all know, |
| 1462s | we released an animated short, |
| 1464s | Crimson and Winter, |
| 1466s | and it raked in over 1.2 million views on YouTube, |
| 1468s | and it's been really warmly-received. |
| 1469s | And now a second episode is on its way! |
| 1473s | So, Wind. Last year's animation revealed the new hero, Justina Gu. |
| 1478s | What new surprise will this year's video bring us? |
| 1482s | We're not revealing any new hero. |
| 1484s | Th video is not long, |
| 1485s | but it might have even more information. |
| 1488s | We released a new video at the start of this Season. |
| 1490s | In that clip, |
| 1491s | there is a mysterious figure standing upon Yushan Ruins. |
| 1494s | An equally mysterious weapon in her hand, |
| 1496s | She calls down lightning |
| 1497s | that pierce the icy barrier. |
| 1498s | I'm sure a lot of people know that. |
| 1502s | She's Viper Ning's... You know. |
| 1505s | How do I put it? |
| 1505s | Mother? |
| 1506s | Yep, she's her mother. |
| 1506s | The Matron of Yushan. |
| 1508s | What's with the long pause? |
| 1511s | Well, you know, |
| 1512s | We can't spoil the story for the audience, can we? |
| 1515s | You need to watch the short for yourselves. |
| 1517s | You'll know all about the complicated relations |
| 1520s | between Viper Ning and her... mother, after watching. |
| 1523s | Will Justina Gu be making an appearance this time around, then? |
| 1526s | I'm really excited for that. |
| 1529s | She will be making an appearance— |
| 1531s | and a mighty fine one at that. |
| 1533s | It's written that she'll be arriving with two swords, |
| 1536s | Winter's Savor and Stalactice, in hand as well. |
| 1539s | I got you. |
| 1540s | So we can expect a dual-wielding in the next patch, right? |
| 1542s | Nah |
| 1543s | We're making Congenic weapons. |
| 1545s | And we are not going to make |
| 1547s | a pair of exactly the same weapon. |
| 1548s | We aren't that lazy. |
| 1549s | Not dual-wielding. |
| 1551s | Alright. |
| 1552s | What's the new gameplay we'll be revealing in this video? |
| 1555s | You got it right. |
| 1556s | Apart from the Matron of Yushan, |
| 1560s | we will be revealing our new Showdown stage. |
| 1563s | You'll be up against the fearsome Matron of Yushan herself |
| 1566s | upon the Snowy Peaks |
| 1567s | and find the truth of the Yushan Whisperers. |
| 1570s | You'll witness Viper Ning's destiny, |
| 1573s | and it will be a boss battle more epic than the Omnius fight of the past. |
| 1577s | Progressing through different stages of the battle, |
| 1579s | your foe's appearance and skills will change. |
| 1582s | It will also be the first time that you'll experience a stage shift. |
| 1585s | Fighting all the way from the Snowy Peaks on Yushan Ruins |
| 1588s | to the inside of it. |
| 1590s | I absolutely cannot get enough of Showdown! |
| 1592s | I can't wait to see Mama Ning in action! |
| 1595s | Yay, Mama Ning in action! |
| 1597s | Showdown mode has been performing pretty well |
| 1599s | so we will go ahead and invest a whole lot |
| 1601s | into developing it. |
| 1602s | We'll be introducing more new gameplay of Showdown |
| 1606s | bringing thrilling experiences to players |
| 1609s | that go beyond just teaming up to take on a boss, |
| 1612s | and tantalizing rewards up for grabs too. |
| 1616s | Back to the animation, Wind: |
| 1618s | at the end, |
| 1620s | Viper's blindfold falls to the ground. |
| 1622s | What's that all about? |
| 1623s | It's something I can't tell you, yet. |
| 1626s | We're all well-acquainted with her blindfolded appearance, |
| 1628s | so this scene certainly holds a deeper meaning. |
| 1631s | You'll know when you watch the full video. |
| 1633s | Speaking of blindfolds: |
| 1635s | now would be the perfect time to introduce |
| 1638s | a new friend to you all... |
| 1733s | Can I say it out loud? |
| 1736s | Yeah, go ahead. |
| 1738s | 2B! |
| 1739s | The NARAKA: BLADEPOINT NieR crossover has been officially confirmed! |
| 1744s | That's right, 2B will be joining the struggle for the Mask of Immortality! |
| 1747s | Hey, what's the matter? |
| 1749s | Was this why I was made to sign |
| 1751s | a 3-million NDA before we started recording?! |
| 1753s | Yep. |
| 1753s | We've all got 3 million at stake, my friend. |
| 1756s | I really like 2B. |
| 1758s | Perhaps we should explain a bit. |
| 1761s | In order to get the most natural reaction from the host, |
| 1764s | she didn't know about the NieR crossover beforehand, |
| 1767s | so that was her real reaction. |
| 1776s | It's an interesting story, actually. |
| 1778s | Since the TGA in late 2019, |
| 1781s | there had been lots of fan artworks about Viper Ning and 2B. |
| 1788s | Because they both got their eyes masked, |
| 1791s | one of them featuring red |
| 1793s | and the other black and white. |
| 1794s | It was super fun when they were together. |
| 1796s | And we saw the artworks |
| 1798s | and thought that this was really cool. |
| 1800s | So we reached out to the Square Enix team, |
| 1803s | who were also in LA at the time, |
| 1806s | and told them our idea, |
| 1808s | and finally, after the game was launched, |
| 1810s | SE has probably been impressed by our sincerity, |
| 1811s | the game itself, |
| 1814s | and players' responses, |
| 1816s | and agreed to the crossover. |
| 1820s | It really is an invaluable opportunity for us. |
| 1822s | Collabs take a long time to smooth over, I see. |
| 1825s | They sure do. |
| 1826s | And now we've just started with the crossover, |
| 1830s | which means |
| 1831s | you may tell us what you want in the comments, |
| 1835s | and we'll see if we can make it in the game. |
| 1838s | Tell us your favorite characters and weapons in the NieR games. |
| 1842s | As a player myself. |
| 1843s | I'm burning to see more awesome crossovers! |
| 1845s | Of course there will be more. |
| 1847s | The first is from our old friend, The Onmyoji. |
| 1850s | Its crossover character, Yoto Hime, |
| 1853s | has got another new Skin, |
| 1854s | which is a highly expected one from Onmyoji Arena. |
| 1858s | Yoto Hime's limited-edition skin |
| 1863s | As far as I know, it's a cyberpunk-themed outfit. |
| 1868s | I'm sure all the Yoto Hime players would love it. |
| 1871s | Robots, NieR: Automata, |
| 1874s | and now cyperbunk?! |
| 1875s | Is it Holoroth or Tech-roth? |
| 1877s | Actually, we've been in talks over a whole load of 2023 crossover content so far. |
| 1882s | There are more games besides NieR, |
| 1886s | and collaborations with designers, museums, |
| 1890s | which we can't reveal yet for legal reasons. |
| 1895s | But I don't mind giving you some spoilers, |
| 1898s | and I'll tell you about two crossovers. |
| 1901s | The first is a game crossover, |
| 1903s | It's a highly expected single-player action game |
| 1908s | that is yet to launch, |
| 1911s | and there will be our contents in their game. |
| 1917s | And the story behind this crossover |
| 1919s | is even more interesting and fantastic than that with SE, |
| 1924s | and it seemed like fate in a sense. |
| 1927s | We'll tell you about it when we have the chance. |
| 1930s | And there's another one with a designer. |
| 1934s | For me and Ray, |
| 1935s | the designer was almost like... |
| 1937s | a lover. |
| 1938s | It'll definitely be different. |
| 1943s | What the heck? |
| 1946s | Yeah, I mean, |
| 1947s | when I told Ray that we'd made the deal, |
| 1951s | I saw his eyes shining. Can you imagine that? |
| 1954s | So probably you'd know that person must be an anime nerd. |
| 1958s | I'm so happy I'm the host today. |
| 1960s | You've got to tell me more after the stream. |
| 1963s | I could tell you, |
| 1963s | but remember about the 3 million |
| 1965s | before you tell anybody. |
| 2031s | So, that's all for the crossover. |
| 2033s | Let's talk about Sunwing Relics. |
| 2034s | At first, we tried to restore relics, |
| 2036s | including Equestrian Blade and others, |
| 2038s | And when it came to the White Snake and Green Snake outfits, |
| 2041s | we incorporated our ideas and elements of our time. |
| 2045s | All in all, |
| 2046s | we've been trying to present our beautiful cultural traditions to players. |
| 2053s | We'll be working with Zhejiang Provincial Museum in 2023. |
| 2058s | We'll be able to take its splendid collections to the game |
| 2063s | in a way that our players would love. |
| 2065s | There will also be checkpoints |
| 2068s | for our players in the Museum, |
| 2070s | where you can get exclusive rewards |
| 2072s | while admiring the beautiful collections for yourself. |
| 2076s | What exactly can we expect |
| 2078s | from this Museum cooperation? |
| 2080s | There's not much I can tell you now, |
| 2083s | but I'll give you a little teaser. |
| 2085s | A big one, actually. |
| 2086s | Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. |
| 2089s | Wow. |
| 2090s | We'll be focusing on such non-commercial experiences |
| 2093s | and real-life events in the future. |
| 2096s | I hope you'll appreciate our efforts. |
| 2099s | I remember the Sunwing Relics project was launched |
| 2101s | on the NARAKA Fest last year. |
| 2103s | So you've created so many interesting contents within this year. |
| 2106s | I really love White Snake and Green Snake outfits. |
| 2108s | I love how they incorporated new elements into the traditions. |
| 2111s | And I even read a lot about The Legend of the White Snake because of that. |
| 2116s | We do believe that |
| 2117s | culture can be combined with entertainments. |
| 2119s | Sometimes you get interested through entertainment |
| 2121s | and then you want to learn more about the culture behind. |
| 2124s | We didn't only create The Operatic Legend |
| 2126s | based on The Legend of the White Snake, |
| 2128s | but made use of the sisterhood in the story |
| 2130s | to stress the relationship |
| 2131s | between Viper Ning and Justina Gu. |
| 2133s | In the next year, we will also follow this way |
| 2135s | and create new outfits based on mythology |
| 2138s | and two intimate male characters. |
| 2141s | Their fight will be remembered in history. |
| 2143s | Stay tuned. |
| 2145s | Feel free to tell us what you want |
| 2146s | from Sunwing Relics in the comments. |
| 2148s | Be it museums, |
| 2149s | cultural heritage, |
| 2150s | or mythologies... |
| 2151s | We'll spare no efforts. |
| 2153s | You've made a lot of promises so far, Wind. |
| 2157s | I can't wait to play the game. |
| 2159s | I'm sure you all noticed |
| 2162s | that we've been suggesting on Social Media that |
| 2165s | we're really busy, |
| 2167s | like the one during the Anniversary: |
| 2169s | We've been asked a lot what the studio name "24" means. |
| 2172s | So on the Anniversary Balloon, |
| 2174s | We wrote "4 years of experience after 2 years of working"; |
| 2177s | The players thought we were complaining about the job. |
| 2181s | I have to admit it was true. |
| 2183s | We were telling players how hard we've been working |
| 2186s | but at the same time, |
| 2188s | it is part of our spirit in 24 Entertainment |
| 2191s | that we love making games more than anything else. |
| 2194s | if you followed our social media, |
| 2196s | you would know that |
| 2198s | even shooting NARAKA Fest Direct this time |
| 2200s | has been very unlucky. |
| 2201s | We faced sudden lockdown. |
| 2203s | Heavy snow in Hangzhou. |
| 2205s | We had to cancel a lot of shooting projects |
| 2207s | There have always been accidents |
| 2209s | during our development of NARAKA, |
| 2212s | but we have never been stopped or dispirited, |
| 2215s | because we believe |
| 2216s | A blade must stand the test of fire, |
| 2221s | and a man shall set his sights higher. |
| 2226s | As a man whose spirit is unchained, |
| 2230s | I will strive till my power is drained. |
| 2237s | Alright, I got you |
| 2238s | Too emotional, though |
| 2239s | You're interrupting the players of Clash League |
| 2242s | Let's go then. |
| 2244s | Let's take a picture. |
| 2270s | NOOOO! |
