"Limitless Warmth" is a role-playing game set in a fantasy world, developed by Zhuhai-based game studio Aurogon. The game features a unique storyline, stunning graphics, and engaging gameplay, which have helped it to attract a large fanbase. The approval of "Limitless Warmth" has sparked a flurry of activity on social media platforms like Weibo, with fans excitedly discussing the game's release and sharing their anticipation for the official launch. Many users have expressed their eagerness to play the game, with some even urging the game's developers to speed up the release process.
Fans also discussed other games on the Ministry's approval list, including "Xuan-Yuan Sword VII" (玄冤长剑7), "Chen's Diary" (陈歌的日记), "Honkai Impact 3rd" (坎克雷影响三), and "Tower of Fantasy" (幻塔奇术). These games also generated a great deal of buzz on social media, with fans excitedly anticipating their official release. In addition to "Limitless Warmth," the Ministry of Culture and Tourism also approved the highly-anticipated "Hakusonsha Kenshi YoRHa Ver.1.2" (黑神话: 悟空), a role-playing game set in the world of NieR:
Automata. The game's official Weibo account revealed that the mobile version will be released on August 20, 2024, further fueling the excitement among fans. The approval of these games marks a significant milestone for China's gaming industry, which has faced challenges in recent years due to regulatory changes and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Chinese government has tightened restrictions on video games, including limiting the number of new games that can be released each year. However, the latest approval list shows that the government is still committed to supporting the growth of the country's gaming industry. The approval of 111 games in February is a significant increase compared to previous months, which saw much lower approval numbers. According to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the increase in approvals is due to the streamlining of the game review and approval process, which has helped to reduce the backlog of games waiting to be approved. Overall, the approval of "Limitless Warmth" and the other games on the Ministry's February list is a welcome piece of news for the Chinese gaming industry and the fans who have been eagerly awaiting their release.
As the games continue to garner attention and anticipation, it remains to be seen how they will perform once they hit the market.
