在今天的2016年谷歌I/O开发者大会上,网易研发的VR游戏《末日先锋》首次曝光,并入选谷歌最新发布的移动端VR平台Daydream的全球首发游戏阵营。
网易认为,VR沉浸式的用户体验将为游戏行业带来新的变局,也意味着巨大的商业潜力。作为老牌的一线游戏厂商,网易正在将版图扩张到全球市场,也将触角延伸到了众多像VR这样的新兴领域。
在网易看来,VR这项“黑科技”将成为影响整个游戏行业的变量。此次《末日先锋》作为首批VR产品登陆Daydream平台,再一次证明了网易在研发上的创新实力,也让世界看到了中国游戏厂商在VR游戏领域的更多可能。
网易公司首席执行官兼董事丁磊表示:“我们非常高兴能作为全球第一批游戏厂商登陆Daydream平台。我们在游戏开发领域积累了很多创新的经验,相信网易能为中国乃至全球玩家带来顶级的VR游戏体验。”
作为一款ARPG游戏,《末日先锋》设立在一个架空的魔幻世界里,糅合了网易次时代的游戏画面和先进的制作技术。
网易将在2016年11月与Daydream同步发行此款游戏。除了VR版本,《末日先锋》同样适配移动端和PC端。
