Morning Post: Battlefield 6 Wishlist Nearly 500,000 Pokémon ZA Online Multiplayer Mode

Dear friends who ordered the downloader, good morning everyone! It's time to download the morning newspaper every day again. Today's main contents of "Download the morning newspaper" include: "Battlefield 6" Steam wish list is approaching 500,000; rumors: "Pokemon Z-A" may include online multiplayer mode; game giant showdown: Sony officially sued Tencent for infringement.

1. "Battlefield 6" Steam's wish list is approaching 500,000!

　　The trailer for "Battlefield 6" was released and the Steam wishlist was approaching 500,000 copies on the first weekend, showing that players were looking forward to it very high. The trailer likes exceeded "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7", and the number of views quickly exceeded 7.7 million. About 60% of the wish lists come from "Battlefield 2042" Steam players, indicating that the series has high user retention potential. This game has become one of the hottest games to be released by Steam of the week. The trailer focuses on NATO's single player battle against military organization Pax Armata. Although it does not show a multiplayer mode, the leaked information suggests that the destructive gameplay will return. As the multiplayer mode announcement approaches the July 31 multiplayer mode and the expectations for subsequent public testing, the number of wishlists is expected to continue to grow.

2. Rumor: "Pokemon Z-A" may include online multiplayer mode!

　　The "online function" menu mentioned on the Nintendo eShop product page has caused players to speculate that "Pokemon Legend: Z-A" may include a multiplayer mode that has not yet been officially announced. The description points out that players can access the Mysterious Gift feature on the menu after advancing the "Mabel's Research", which is different from the design of the previous work "Arceus", reminiscent of the online ways of early games. However, the store information is still marked that the game only supports single-player play, and receiving gifts requires only a Nintendo account and no membership, which is inconsistent with the Japanese server's explanation of "the number of players to be announced". Players generally look forward to the addition of multiplayer mode, believing that if the innovative combat mechanism of the new work can support players in combat, it will significantly improve the game experience.

3. Game giant showdown: Sony officially sued Tencent for infringement!

Sony officially sued Tencent in California federal court on July 25, accusing its game "Music of Light: Infinity" a "bad clone" of the "Horizon" series, infringing on copyright and trademark rights.

　　The core basis of the lawsuit includes: the red-haired archer heroine is highly similar to Eloy, the world view setting of the coexistence of post-doom mechanical creatures, and the similarity of the gameplay of the taming mechanical beasts and the "coverage command" mechanism. Sony stressed that Tencent had previously sought the authorization of "Horizon" but was rejected, believing that the similarity was not a coincidence. Sony demands up to $150,000 in damages for each infringement and seeks a ban to prevent the game from being released and destroying promotional materials.

　The lawsuit has intensified the outside world's doubts about the originality of "Memory of Light: Infinity", and public opinion is mostly critical. At the same time as this case occurred, Nintendo’s case against “Palu” also triggered discussions on the boundaries of game creative reference. The current release plan of "Memory of Light: Infinity" on Steam may be affected by the results of the lawsuit.

4. "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" will be updated tomorrow! Adding the "New Game +" mode to the main theme

　　"Assassin's Creed: Shadow" will be updated on July 29 with the core content of the "New Game +" mode that players have been looking forward to. In this mode, after completing the main line, players can retain equipment, skills, allies and base progress and start the game again. After completing the level, they can also obtain exclusive gold-plated weapons.

　　In addition, the update has increased the character level cap from level 60 to level 80, expanded the knowledge level system and added related achievements/trophies, and upgraded the forging table to allow equipment to be strengthened to the new level cap, and fixed a large number of bugs. The number of players in the game has exceeded five million since its release in late March, and this update is part of the continuous optimization plan. In the future, there will also be a September update that changes the game map and the large DLC "Awaji Claw" released on September 16. Ubisoft executives' comments suggest that this game may be available on Nintendo Switch 2, but it has not been confirmed yet.

5.Steam's special praise for games is free to be repository

The Steam platform is now giving away a limited time free arcade-style racing game "Barro GT". The deadline for collection is 12 noon on August 4, Central Time. The game, developed by SC Jogos, is usually priced at $4.99 and is currently rated as "specially good" by Steam.
