A cold-blooded and indiscriminate killer, Muskan is the commander of the Kzarka Shrine Priests, a group willing to do anything to aid Kzarka’s resurrection. The weapons that cover his hands make his appearance even more fearsome, and his powerful hits will decimate any challengers that fail to avoid them. 

With the arrival of Enraged Muskan, Adventurers must train harder to become agile and cunning fighters. Adventurers who are level 45 or above can challenge this new World Boss, and those who successfully defeat him will have a chance to get Muskan’s Shoes and Muskan’s Tokens. 

Moreover, Abyssal Relics have been added to Black Desert Mobile. Adventurers can now obtain these relics by fighting Difficulty 11 of the Ancient Ruins, which is now available in the game. Abyssal Relics can also be crafted using Relic Fragments.

Shadow Arena‘s 14th Hero Igrid is an ancient female warrior with powerful offensive and defensive skills. She is known as the cursed warrior who has been wandering after losing a flame given by her god. 

Igrid uses a mighty Battle Axe and Shield where her Shield blocks an enemy’s attacks then counters them with her own attack. She can also neutralize an opponent by grabbing or knocking them down. Players must attack carefully as some of her offensive skills consume a lot of stamina. 

The "Free-Play Event" will be held in Shadow Arena until August 27. During the event period, all 14 Heroes including Igrid will be unlocked and players can experience each Hero’s combat moves and skill set. 

Last but not least, the Spectator mode has been enhanced. Players can now find the nearest player and spectate. When that player dies, the camera will automatically switch focus to another player.

Based on the similarities between our business models, we believe that this deal has the potential to generate powerful synergies and thus significantly bolster our competitive advantages in the industry going forward. After thorough analysis, we maintain our belief that this acquisition is a true win-win arrangement for both parties and will help to provide our users with an increasingly vibrant and interactive social environment going forward."

Perfect World CEO Dr. Robert H. Xiao: Content Consumption to Change Dramatically Thanks to 5G

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Aug. 5, 2020 — On July 30, Dr. Robert H. Xiao, CEO of Perfect World, delivered a keynote speech at the 2020 China Digital Entertainment Congress (CDEC), discussing the changes 5G has brought to the digital cultural and creative industry, and, most notably, to games.

Perfect World CEO Xiao Hong delivers keynote speech

Dr. Xiao explained that the digital transformation of the game industry is the current trend, while 5G is a new technical extension and foundation for the next stage of growth across the industry. Content consumption will change dramatically as a result of the imaginative possibilities brought about by 5G. To cite an example, new technologies such as 5G+AI and VR/AR will instigate disruptive changes across traditional cultural and entertainment communication channels and scenarios, generating new expectations in terms of content and experience, further promoting innovation in the integration of technology and content as well as the digitization and intelligentization of those channels and scenarios, while driving a new consumption experience.

Dr. Robert H. Xiao took e-sports as an illustration, expressing the opinion that with 5G, in tandem with cloud computing and increasingly mature virtual reality technologies, both the participation and the business model of e-sports in the future will become "hyper-interactive". With wearable devices, the audience can directly participate in the competition and even interact with the contestants within the competition environment in real time. This will be a truly innovative new approach when compared with how one approaches traditional sports. In turn, the experimental application of new technologies in e-sports will further activate and nurture the development of even newer technologies, breaking the current e-sports business model.

In addition, the possibilities for new media and other applications as a result of the popularization of 5G will move the user’s attention completely from offline to online. Xiao said that businesses must find new ways to interact with users, and that a wave of creative ideas around the new digital technologies will give rise to a whole new array of approaches for deeply interacting with users, bringing to the fore an important force empowering the transformation of the industry.

Epic Seven Releases New Limited Hero “Holiday Yufine”

Holiday Yufine is a new Limited Hero specially introduced for this year’s summer season. This new Yufine is an exceptionally strong supporter on the battlefield, capable of both removing debuffs from allies and increasing their Combat Readiness. Additionally, her skills attack all enemies at once and grant her increased Attack, opening up a variety of potential strategies for players to employ when placing her on their teams.

Holiday Yufine’s bright, bubbly personality and unique skills can be seen in full in the special summer Side Story "The Holy Order of the Blue Cross and the Mysterious Island."

Additionally, Smilegate Megaport is holding a login event in collaboration with Amazon Prime, the membership service provided by the world’s largest e-commerce company, Amazon. The event ends on January 14, 2021, and players can collect unbelievable rewards simply by logging in to their Amazon Prime accounts on Epic Seven. The rewards change every two weeks and include items such as a 4-5 Star Hero Summon Ticket, level 85 Epic Equipment sets, and more.

Smilegate Megaport’s Business Department Manager Sanghoon Lee commented, "This year’s summer season seems to be less lively than usual due to the issue we are facing globally. We will prepare more content for our Epic Seven fans to enjoy so that everyone can experience a refreshing summer vacation within the game. We hope to see players enjoy the event with Amazon Prime as well as even more upcoming events."
