"Cloud・Nine Swords of the River" is the cloud game version of the mobile game "Nine Swords of the River", a flagship martial arts game developed by NetEase. Players can enjoy a smooth experience of no updates, low latency, high picture quality, and high frame rate through cloud game technology.

The mobile game "Nine Swords of the River" is not only a grand martial arts open world but also a delicate and breathing jianghu. When players are in it, there are not only thousands of adventures waiting to be explored, and all living beings can interact, but they can also meet hundreds of millions of interesting players, achieving fateful encounters. Whether alone, with NPCs with awakened personalities, or with other players, they can experience all kinds of love, hatred, and grudges in this highly immersive jianghu.

In the process of developing the mobile game "Nine Swords of the River", we "absorbed the strengths of various games" and at the same time carried out a lot of innovation, adhering to the core of the oriental martial arts spirit. Finally, we created a truly unique open world that can bring the jianghu to life, which we call - "The Breathing Martial Arts Open World".

I. The Originality of the Martial Arts Open World - The Unique Charm of Oriental Righteousness and Humanities
When the technical strength and artistry are getting closer or even indistinguishable, what is the core difference between the martial arts open world and the open worlds of magic, anime, and the west? Rushing in without figuring this out may end up being a poor imitation.
We bring this question back to the player experience itself.
In open world games with magic/anime themes, players always carry the heavy responsibility and pressure of saving the world on the verge of destruction;
In open worlds with American/western themes, players often gallop on the wasteland of morality and law, and trying to solve violence often leads to more violence.
An oriental-themed martial arts open world should possess typical oriental thinking and characteristics.

First, it abandons the "pressure-based game motivation".
There is no such heavy burden of "saving the world" forcing you forward. The overall tone of the oriental world is peaceful and stable. Players can enjoy the flowers in spring and the moon in autumn, see the waters in the south of the Yangtze River and the snow in the north, casually inquire about a few strange cases in Hangzhou in their free time, and have a drink at the Bianhe Ferry and leave when they are busy.

Second, the foundation of the open world is "ritual" and "law".
Ritual refers to the etiquette in the jianghu, and law refers to the laws of the imperial court. Treating people without "ritual" will damage your reputation and make it difficult to walk in the jianghu; straying on the edge of the "law" will get you wanted and hunted. Some jianghu content will be closed to you, while at the same time, it may open the door to some new worlds. Although it is free, the game as a whole still emphasizes "punishing evil and promoting good".

Third, the core of the jianghu is "human relations and social wisdom".
As a martial arts open world, it is not just about fighting and killing. A large number of open interactive contents and variable performance scripts in the game will allow players to deeply understand the social middle way of Chinese-style human relations and social wisdom. Do you have to draw your sword in a martial arts dispute? Maybe you can solve it elegantly over a banquet.

Finally, it is both a game and oriental human history.
Players can experience the urban human life of the Northern Song Dynasty in a 360-degree panoramic view. The Northern Song Dynasty was elegant and outstanding, and historical figures such as Su Shi, Yan Jidao, Wang Ximeng, Li Qingzhao, Zhang Zeduan, Li Shishi, and Huang Tingjian were still active in the jianghu. Interacting with them will also be an important part of the content of the open world in the mobile game "Nine Swords of the River". The land is as beautiful as a painting, with so many heroes in an instant. Immersed in an era of brilliant literary stars, adventuring and creating with them is also a kind of enjoyment."

II. Everything Can Interact - Interaction with the Natural World and Its Operating Rules
Well-known classic open world game mechanisms in the world follow natural laws and life experiences. There are not only physical engines but also chemical engines, encouraging players to use their imaginations to solve problems (such as using hot air generated by lighting grass to lift into the air, throwing metal during a thunderstorm at the enemy camp to get the enemies struck by lightning, using the enemy's blood pool
