NetEase announced that his studio Sakura Studioformed in 2020 and with dual headquarters in Guangzhou (China) and Tokyo (Japan), is working on three console titles: an action RPG in which you will go on an adventure with a party of allies, a new type of battle game based on a very popular series, and a cooperative action where you will fight against colossal enemies.
From an interview by Famitsu some team members working on the three different games have revealed new details about the productions of Sakura Studio:
Action RPG
Mr. S: “We are creating a single-player game that can be categorized as an Action RPG, with a character progression system, and new gameplay elements that emerge as the story progresses. Our goal is to create an action combat system that is fun to play, with dynamic characters to control and stages that have depth and verticality. […] As for the atmosphere, it is an adventure that will take you to a welcoming world. […] Since the project requires smooth exploration of large areas, we are using Unreal Engine’s streaming technologies. As for the AI, however, we are looking for an efficient way to manage the many types of enemies and NPCs, to give them unique personalities. […]. “
Cooperative action
Mr J: “This co-op action is based on totally original intellectual property. […] You will have to fight gigantic and evil enemies using extremely stylish and pleasant to use action moves. It is an exciting game, in which you will work together with your team to be able to finish it. […] We are creating new game systems that offer an unprecedented co-op experience. It’s tough, but we’re dealing with it as we make our development ecosystem more efficient. We are also working on tools that regulate the AI of the enemies, to create new battle experiences. We don’t want to just create ‘powerful’ AI, but provide both solo and group players with enemies to challenge and entertain the user. To do this, we are developing tools that determine critical areas and provide directions to enemies on how to move and which destinations to reach, as well as allowing collaboration between enemies. “
Battle Game
Mr. E “This is a new type of battle game based on a series that boasts truly passionate fans. […] Keep following us to find out more. “
