Upon examining VNG's latest project, one will notice the difference compared to the majority.
Kiếm Thế Origin represents VNGGames' newest endeavor in 2023. This game is a focal investment by this publisher and was introduced at the end of 2022. Having undergone two trial runs before reaching Open Beta, Kiếm Thế Origin has demonstrated its divergence from the majority of online mobile games. It's the meticulousness and precision in the completion and release process.
It's evident that Kiếm Thế Origin will be a long-term project of VNG in the Vietnamese gaming market and for Vietnamese gamers. Looking at the game release stages of the Vietnamese mobile gaming industry over the past years, players will notice that the majority are released immediately and also close soon, even after just a few months of release.
Present-day mobile games differ from the rest in such a manner. It's 'quick to bloom, quick to fade,' quick to launch, quick to close, and of course, quick to recoup investment, even turning profits quickly. These mobile game projects often come with numerous top-up events. These games are 'released' en masse in the Chinese market and are easily brought to Vietnam.
Most evident with these MMORPGs is the players' incredibly fast leveling speed. Even within the first few tens of minutes, gamers have leveled up dozens, merely by going through a few main missions. To bolster strength, with good items, many events are launched alongside 'stimulating the rich' activities. That's the greatest disparity when comparing the current mobile MMORPGs to the online PC role-playing games of the past.
Observing Kiếm Thế Origin, one can see that players are quite 'struggling' to level up. Officially launched on March 27th and now almost two weeks later, this game is still trying to find out who reaches level 59 the fastest. Of course, this speed is still faster than the PC games in the past, but not to the extent of a 'storm' like many MMORPG projects have done over the past decade.
Reducing the leveling speed will make players truly want to dedicate time to their games, thereby increasing community benefits and interactive relationships between gamers. That's what Kiếm Thế players of old truly desired.
