Among them, there are many works worthy of attention, such as Mihoyo's "Star Cuckoo Land", Tencent's client game "Dark Zone Breakout: Infinite", Liangwu's "The Great Rivers and Lakes: The Azure Dragon and the White Bird", etc.

Next, let’s take a look at other games that are worth paying attention to.

Dark Zone Breakout: Infinite – Tencent, Client

Players who like shooting mobile games will definitely be familiar with Tencent's "Dark Zone Breakout". After laying a solid foundation on the mobile game platform, the official also set its sights on the PC platform. This is also a normal operation of game manufacturers in recent years. The game is no longer limited to one platform, but is as compatible as possible with all platforms.

"Dark Zone Breakout: Infinite" is a PC version based on "Dark Zone Breakout". In "Dark Zone Breakout: Infinite", players will enter the dark zone and become the world's most deadly task force.

As a highly trained military operative, head to the Carmona region in a high risk, high reward war. Pull the trigger, take cover, keep moving, break into the battlefield to loot high-value items and get rich, while always being ready to fight for survival.

The game launched its first closed beta test in overseas markets on May 8. In this test, the official launched two popular maps, Farm and Valley.

On July 6, the "Eco-Partner Communication Meeting" of "Dark Zone Breakout" was grandly held in Shenzhen. The meeting introduced in detail the achievements of "Dark Zone Breakout" along the way, such as "In December 2023, the global registered users of "Dark Zone Breakout" will officially exceed 100 million."

In other words, "Dark Zone Breakout: Infinite" has a high starting point in China, and the approval of the version number also means that it is very close to the players.

"Looking at the Moon" - Shiyue Network, Mobile, Client

The new work "Alien Ring" perfectly announced a few days ago is believed to have surprised many players. However, among the July version numbers announced this time, there is a game that is quite similar to "Alien Ring" and can even be considered a competing product of the same type. It has obtained a version number, that is "Wangyue" from Shiyue Network.

"Moonlight" was first revealed on October 30, 2023, and is said to have been quietly developed for several years. This game is a two-dimensional open world mobile game, which won widespread attention from players in the early stage of exposure.

"Moon Watching" uses an ACT real-time combat mode, and the characters have a stamina bar. In addition to basic attacks, jumps, dodges, and skills, players can also make extreme dodge judgments, defensive counterattacks, and QTE interactions. When the energy bar is full, you can also use a big move to kill.

According to the information released on the official website, you can freely match the character's skills, passives and props in the game to form different styles of play. For example, you can wear various mechanisms that restrain adverse effects to survive and output, or stack the output to explosion, seeking excitement and risking your life.

At the same time, players can also switch characters and release combo skills during battle.

However, what is different from other products on the market is that in addition to regular teammate characters, "Moon Watching" also allows players to add some enemies to the team as "followers" after defeating them. These followers are divided into different types and have many functions. They are the core system of "Moon Watching". For example, in battle, some followers can fight with you on the same screen.

After obtaining the version number, the official also immediately released a congratulatory announcement and launched a lottery event on Bilibili. Interested players can go and try their luck.

In the announcement, the official also stated that the first round of technical testing of the game is being closely prepared. With the arrival of the version number, those carefully constructed colorful and romantic oriental cities will gradually unveil their mysteries. We hope to meet you in the game by then.

While the popularity of "Zero Zone" remains high, miHoYo's "Star Cuckoo Land" has also successfully obtained a publishing license. If nothing unexpected happens, "Star Cuckoo Land" will be miHoYo's flagship product in 2025.

In February 2024, Shanghai miHoYo Liyue Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of miHoYo, quietly applied for a new trademark called "Star Cuckoo Land", which spanned more than ten categories. The moment it was exposed, it sparked heated discussions on major social media.

According to information disclosed by foreign media, "Star Valley" is a two-dimensional theme simulation business mobile game, which is relatively light overall and full of interesting challenges. If you have played "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" on Switch, you will definitely be familiar with these gameplays.

MiHoYo has not announced many details about the game so far, but it is said that MiHoYo will apply its previously developed AI system in the game.

"Ghost Valley" - Guigu Technology, mobile terminal

As the sequel to "Badlands", with the foundation of the previous game, "Badlands 2" is still worth looking forward to. However, the official has not released much information yet, and interested players can only wait patiently.

"The Great Rivers and Lakes: Blue Dragon and White Bird" - Liangwu Games, Mobile, Client

Domestic players should be familiar with Liangwu games. Among them, Liangwu's nostalgic pixel-style martial arts RPG game "The Great Jianghu: The Azure Dragon and the White Bird" was listed and obtained the version number for mobile and client terminals.

"The Return of the Gods" - Kingsoft, Mobile, Client

If you pay attention to various news related to "Black Myth: Wukong", you should have some impression of the name "Investiture of the Gods".

Previously in May, "Fengshen ZaiLang" released a demo video of the game. There were several scenes in the video that were similar to the promotional video of "Black Myth: Wukong", which was a small hot topic at the time. Many players even joked that this was a secondary video of "Black Myth: Wukong".

(Game title's art style)

According to the official introduction, "The Return of the Gods" is a Chinese mythology game based on local mythology and combined with the cultural background of the Investiture of the Gods. The story takes place after Jiang Ziya was deified. At that time, a mysterious person invaded the Yuxu Palace and destroyed the Investiture of the Gods.

After the Investiture of the Gods was shattered, the fragments were scattered in the mortal world and fell into the bodies of gods and demons, causing the gods and demons to be out of place, rituals and music to collapse, and the world to be in chaos! In order to save the people from the water and fire, the player, as a disciple of Yuxu Palace, embarked on a journey to collect fragments and save the people.

During the journey, players will also meet mythological characters such as Nezha, Daji, and Yang Jian, help them resolve their inner demons, find themselves, and ultimately clear the fog to find the mastermind behind the destruction of the "Investiture of the Gods".

The game is now open for pre-order, and the game officials also stated that the first test will be coming soon. Interested players can go and make a reservation.

Players can learn or encounter some enemies using a variety of skills and moves, such as Tai Chi, swordsmanship and gunmanship.

In terms of music, the game soundtrack is designed with suona, pipa, Chinese shakuhachi, guqin/guzheng, and various Chinese percussion instruments as the main instruments.

We are committed to showing the charm and uniqueness of traditional Chinese culture. Through the integration of martial arts, opera and Chinese-style music, we hope to bring players a brand new gaming experience and let everyone experience the profound heritage and charm of Chinese culture.

What’s more interesting is that the PC version of the game has been launched on the Steam platform. The original name of the game was also "乂聞錄:蹂輪", but now the name on the Steam platform has been changed to "乂聞錄:蹂源". I wonder if the mobile version that has passed the review this time will be renamed.

In addition to the many games mentioned above, there are many other games worthy of attention in this version number. However, due to space limitations and the fact that some game officials have not released much information, they cannot be introduced in detail.
