NetEase’s Action RPG: Vương Giả Vinh Diệu
As of now, the popularity of Vương Giả Vinh Diệu in the gaming market is undeniable. For many years, Tencent’s “little dragon” has been the “king,” consistently dominating game rankings, revenue, and user engagement, solidifying its status as one of the most successful mobile game franchises of the current era.
However, by the end of 2024, the position of Vương Giả Vinh Diệu has been challenged multiple times by new contenders. As of December, it has dropped to 5th place, falling behind the popular title DnF Mobile and another action RPG from NetEase.
The primary competitor is Nghịch Thủy Hàn Mobile – the mobile version of the highly acclaimed online game of the same name, which has garnered significant attention from gamers in Vietnam. Notably, Nghịch Thủy Hàn Mobile was recently launched by NetEase in the domestic Chinese market. At its peak, the game has surpassed Vương Giả Vinh Diệu, becoming the top newcomer on the TapTap platform.
What Makes Nghịch Thủy Hàn Hot and Outperforming Vương Giả Vinh Diệu?
In reality, action RPG titles often possess unique allure, catering to the burgeoning gaming community in China and the global gaming landscape. Especially with Nghịch Thủy Hàn Mobile, this game is noted for incorporating the best elements of its predecessor, aiming to replicate the success of the original online version.
Despite this, according to industry experts, the direct factors contributing to Nghịch Thủy Hàn Mobile’s significant sales increase (up 44 ranks) are attributed to the game’s events and community engagement. For instance, on December 27, the game publisher organized a grand event to celebrate the upcoming new year 2025. Along with the launch of attractive promotional materials, the sales figures of this newcomer are expected to soar dramatically.
It appears that action RPGs have not yet shown signs of slowing down. It is certain that in 2025, the competition among these blockbuster titles will continue to be intense.
