Not long ago, Andreas Waldetoft (hereinafter referred to as Andreas), the in-house composer for Paradox Interactive (hereinafter referred to as PDX) and creator of Faster Than Light, came to Shanghai to attend the 10th-anniversary concert for Stellaris. As a well-known PDX "war criminal"—I mean, one of the PDX players—I naturally seized this opportunity to chat with Andreas for a while before the concert began.

I'm tired of talking about MMORPG updates.

Domestic cats are mammals of the Felidae family and Felis genus. They began living alongside humans approximately 10,000 years ago, initially valued for their ability to hunt rodents. However, cats have never been fully domesticated. Even the most well-behaved, affectionate cats that enjoy being petted, held, and kissed still retain their innate predatory wildness.

For a party racing game like Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, the fall of 2025 is hardly an ideal release window—the phrase "caught between a rock and a hard place" seems tailor-made for it.

For many new-generation MOBA players, "Heroes Evolved" is likely a relatively unfamiliar name.

Readers who frequently browse the internet may be aware that Elon Musk recently launched an AI companion feature in his AI software, "Grok." This twin-tailed, blonde, gothic beauty named "Ani" became an instant hit overseas, even propelling Grok to the top of the Apple App Store charts in Japan.

"Lost Soul," a domestic action RPG that has been in development for ten years, is finally set to officially launch this summer. With its distinctive theme, unique art style, and a development journey that has witnessed significant changes in the Chinese gaming industry, "Lost Soul" has become something of an "industry living fossil." This status has many players eagerly anticipating its true reveal.

Not long ago, we were invited to a special media showcase event and received some major news—something we never thought we'd see: Apex Legends is collaborating with the legendary "Gundam" franchise.

As in previous years, OPUS: Echo of Starsong did not offer a demo for attendees at this year's BitSummit.

Every era has its own bards.

When you come to your senses, you find yourself in a dimly lit living room. Outside the window, Tokyo is shrouded in endless rain. At the other end of the room, a girl who looks barely twenty stares at you with cold eyes. Faced with a stranger who has suddenly appeared in her room, her expression shows more disappointment than surprise. The noose hanging from the ceiling suggests that a tragedy was narrowly averted by your sudden arrival.

Tokyo Underground Killer is a fast-paced action game with a linear level structure. It inherits the inherent neural qualities of dreamcore and cyberpunk themes, exuding an aura of mysterious mastery.

Can human memories be tampered with?

On July 25, 2024, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the third batch of selected games for Phase III of the "China Hero Project." The list featured three titles: "Jue Xiao," "Codename: Jin Yi Wei," and "Loulan: Cursed Sands." While "Jue Xiao" and "Codename: Jin Yi Wei" had relatively complete gameplay demos, "Loulan: Cursed Sands" only revealed a few concept art images. As mysterious as the ancient kingdom its name represents, it inevitably sparked considerable curiosity.

In the previous interview, World of Warcraft Associate Game Director Paul Kubit and Lead Dungeon & Encounter Designer Dylan Barker provided detailed answers regarding player concerns about ability simplification and addon configurations. Now, following the update timeline of "Midnight," we continue our discussion on the new hunting gameplay and the revamp of several classic maps in the "Quel'Thalas" region. In this installment, Senior Game Designer Kim Flak, one of the core designers for the hunting gameplay, and Game Designer Jake Shillan, the lead designer for the Zul'Aman area, share their design insights and thought processes.

As a card game enthusiast, "Meow Battle" initially caught my attention with its strategic card battle tag. I thought it would be another trendy pet-raising roguelike deckbuilder in the vein of "Trizon" and "Decktamer".

Clueless foreigners are now locked in a hilarious back-and-forth with Pinduoduo.

It has been a full five years since PRAGMATA first appeared at the PlayStation online showcase. So, when I arrived at the PlayStation Shanghai office, picked up the controller, and faced the demo of PRAGMATA being revealed in China for the first time, my overwhelming feeling was one of "disbelief." If this ghost, which has existed only as a "concept" since the beginning of this generation, also "drifted" before your eyes at a subsequent exhibition or event, you would likely have the same reaction as I did.

Aside from the logo, it is difficult to immediately connect Bungie's early "Marathon Trilogy" with Marathon.
