Half of them are casual games that are mild, but there's no shortage of things to look forward to.
Among the new games mentioned above, “My Three Body: 2277,” which has the “first genuine three-body IP game” aura above the head, gained high market popularity during early warm-up. The game was developed by Youzu's Magic Studio. It retains the art style of the square head character from the animated version of “My Three Bodies” and uses chess gameplay. The actual game game was announced in October of last year and pre-orders started at the same time. It is scheduled to be launched in the first half of this year.
