January 19, 2023
HONG KONG, Jan 19, 2023 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Video games are becoming more and more prevalent in daily life and in popular entertainment. As the Lunar New Year is approaching, Xbox commissioned YouGov to conduct a representative survey of the age 13+ online population with 611 samples to better understand consumer attitudes toward video games, as well as consumer preferences for behavior over the Lunar New Year period.Overall, more Hong Kong people are choosing video games as their first choice for daily entertainment, with Generation Z and Millennials being the most likely to do so. More than three quarters of respondents play video games as an entertainment activity, and more than half of them play video games at least once a week, with one-quarter playing once a day or more frequently. The survey also revealed that Hong Kong video game players prefer games that are simple to play, are multiplayer, are entertaining, and are also interactive. The top five game genres according to the survey are Racing, Platformer, Lifestyle Simulation, Management Simulation and Match Three. Among them, Baby Boomers prefer Match Three, Millennials prefer Management Simulations, and Gen Z gamers prefer Lifestyle Simulation games.The survey found that 66% of gamers prefer to play video games with others over the Lunar New Year break. Middle-aged and older generations are more concerned with how video games can foster intergenerational ties and family reunions, while younger generations think that video games are the main catalyst for social interaction. According to the data, a majority of Millennials believe that playing video games with members of different generations of their family is a great way to build relationships; 75% of Millennials believe that playing video games brings people together more than other activities, and 61% of Gen Z agree. During the Lunar New Year holiday season, 70% of respondents said they preferred playing video games to watching TV with their families because they are more interactive and engaging.While there are differences in genre preferences across age groups, video games are generally acknowledged to play a role in fostering social interaction between friends and family members. Xbox recommends below video games which can enhance interactions during Lunar New Year gatherings, including racing game "Forza Horizon 5" & "Dirt 5", family multiplayers game "Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master", management simulation game "Two Point Campus" and match three game "Bejeweled 3".

Citizen Conflict Hero Shooter Bridges Web2 Gaming and Web3 Innovation ACN Newswire

Citizen Conflict Hero Shooter Bridges Web2 Gaming and Web3 Innovation

January 15, 2023
Bratislava / Dubai, Jan 15, 2023 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Citizen Conflict represents a Paradigm Shift In Competitive Gaming. The big question is: Where does the success of legendary game titles such as World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike, and League of Legends stem from? QORPO Game Studio believes immense popularity is granted by the ability to entertain players for a long period of time within the elaborate and functioning ecosystem. However, this belief is faced with two major problems: the corporatization of traditional gaming and the uncompetitive quality of web3 titles. To solve this issue, developers at QORPO set themselves to build the bridge between both worlds within a seamless and well-integrated ecosystem of AAA games. In practice, Citizen Conflict aims at letting retail players organize tournaments and earn from non-centralized esports without endless hours of obsessive training. The new model lets anyone become a pro.Monolithic Past and Uncertain FutureMost blockchain games cannot keep up with traditional titles. From the graphics and visuals to gameplay dynamics, such games are more akin to standards dating 15 or more years back rather than modern expectations. Oftentimes, blockchain games can't retain players for a reasonable period of time because their model isn't based on high-quality gameplay but on elusive promises of quick profit - mostly powered by highly inflated cryptocurrency, so symptomatic of the infamous play2earn ethos. Having said that, traditional web2 games, while more suited for modern gameplay standards, don't offer power and freedom to the community. In-game assets are mostly a black hole, players don't really own what they paid for - legally speaking, those few pixels called 'skins' are not truly yours. From the perspective of competitive gaming, traditional leagues and tournaments are walled gardens governed by third-party authorities and are reserved only for professional esports players. Thus, just like the whole web2, over the last decades, traditional gaming has become too corporate and monolithic.Forging the Bridge Between Web2 and Web3Rastislav Bakala, CEO and Founder of QORPO, bears these concerns in mind. "Our target is to bring the best players of both worlds. Besides high-quality gameplay standards with an immersive storyline and crispy graphics, Citizen Conflict brings the power back to the hands of players." After signing in to a QORPO ID, which works the same as any other gaming platform registration, you can download the game and enjoy the gameplay seamlessly without ever knowing you entered the waters of web3. On top of that, every single in-game asset players buy or win belongs only to them and no one else.Bakala continued, "QORPO is eager to disrupt the centralization of esports. Players can look forward to regular sponsored tournaments and generous prize pools. You no longer need to spend long hours training and having sponsors to make it to the big league. Going the extra mile, players can also organize their own tournaments; as a result, everyone can earn from esports now."Continuing Where the Metaverse FailedSpeaking of well-integrated ecosystems not seldom pertains to the already flawed idea of so-called metaverse pursuits, sought-after by Mark Zuckerberg or Tim Sweeney. The up-to-date cyber world, though, doesn't have to be just poor graphics and vain efforts. QORPO's vision is to forge a seamless ecosystem of high-quality games under one roof with a universal player's ID. Citizen Conflict is just the start. QORPO is on a mission to build a whole universe of AAA games, each equipped with unique graphics, elaborate gameplay models, and robust, book-worthy storylines. About QORPOBorn of a desire to challenge the limits, QORPO is a leading independent AAA games development studio with headquarters in Bratislava, Slovakia, strong ties to Dubai, and a web of affiliates around the world. Since our inception in 2018, we have made a mark in the blockchain genre with titles such as TRM and Citizen Conflict. The Citizen Conflict project has raised $7M from top VCs including Maven Capital, Firestarter, Master Ventures, VBC Ventures, Halvings Capital, Momentum 6, ZBS Capital and Avstar along with ecosystem partners Binance NFT, Binance Smart Chain, Blockchain Gaming Alliance and others.Let's expand and redefine the genre boundaries together.

ITSBLOC Raises $7.5M to Build a Brand-New Web 3.0 Game Platform

September 8, 2022
Seoul, Korea, September 08, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – ITSBLOC, a web 3.0 game platform, has announced that it successfully closed $7.5 million in an investment round. In particular, in institutional investment round, a total of eight institutions including Vista Labs, Nexus one, Edimus Capital, Atlas Capital, Bull&Bear, and three other institutions participated. ITSBLOC is a platform exclusively developed for web 3.0 games, based on Polygon. With technologies for platform operation and blockchain to build and activate P2E systems such as Wallet, Swap, Dex, etc., it has continued to form a range of global alliances. In particular, what differentiates this platform from other P2E systems is that it offers high-quality games exclusively for web 3.0 games that will be on-chain from the third quarter of 2022, a season-based system, and attractive content where users can “earn as much as they enjoy.” Thanks to the innovative P2E platform, its expertise, and other favorable factors, this investment round is known to have succeeded in attracting an investment sum of $7.5 million, a figure that exceeded the original target.

The initial market price for a NAKA Punk has been set at $200. Investors who buy NAKA Punks will have the option of receiving an airdropped NAKAVERSE property valued at $500 – immediately giving them an asset 2.5x the cost of the NFT.

CryptoPunks, first given away for free, are now sold for roughly 83 ETH as the minimum price. Owning a NAKA Punk will allow investors to earn substantial passive income in two ways.
