Elden Ring is one of the most successful games by FromSoftware Inc. According to anonymous sources, Elden Ring is getting a mobile version and the project was initiated in 2022. It was shortly after Tencent bought a 16% minority stake in FromSoftware.
A recent report by Reuters mentioned that the company wants to keep Elden Ring Mobile as a free-to-play game with in-app purchases akin to HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact. A couple dozen developers are working on the prototype but the progress has been slow, maybe, due to the free-to-play factor.

Tencent’s Chinese Rivalry

These reports of Elden Ring mobile came out due to the competition Tencent is facing in China. This fierce competition is from Chinese competitors miHoYo and NetEase, developers of titles like Genshin Impact and Eggy Party. This is why the company is trying to create new hits. However, a bigger obstacle they have is transferring premium console games to mobile is easier said than done.
Tencent’s chief executive and co-founder Pony Ma said during the company’s recent annual meeting in Shenzhen, “Gaming is our flagship business…But in the past year, we have faced significant challenges. We have found ourselves at a loss, as our competitors continue to produce new products, leaving us feeling having achieved nothing.” In response, Ma said, “Tencent is focusing on integrating its Hunyuan AI model into different parts of its business to increase efficiency.”

The IP Licensing Hiccup

Tencent got intellectual property licensing of Elden Ring mobile to develop free-to-play versions. This could be the latest in the long line of IP licenses they acquired. This is of course if the reports are accurate. The most successful mobile gaming were PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. These are not the only mobile games Tencent is working on, they are also working on mobile versions of Need for Speed and Assassin’s Creed.
Success is not guaranteed in the mobile versions of games and Tencent has proved it. In the previous year, they shut down the mobile version of Apex Legends which was created in collaboration with EA. Moreover, they also canceled a mobile game based on the Nier franchise over monetization concerns ( unannounced).

Concluding Thoughts

Tencent is putting in all the effort but mobile-based games like Elden Ring have the risk of failing more. So if it is successfully launched it will be a grand win for Tencent. Lastly, China’s approval system for video games can take months or years before it gives its approval. It can put any great game, even Elden Ring mobile, in jeopardy once they release it.

Hi there gamers! If you’re looking to buy a gaming laptop and are unsure about what to look for, so it means you are on the right platform. This article is just written for you, as we have listed the 5 things to consider when buying a gaming laptop. The article covers plenty of basics and should be able to answer most of your questions.
Gaming laptops are a necessity for gamers who want to enjoy the best gaming experience, also you can look at some $1500 gaming laptops that are best for all gamers.
The laptop is one of the most important parts of a gaming setup because it is the only computer that you have with you when you are on the go. The right laptop can make your gaming experience more immersive and smoother, while also giving you more power and versatility, which in turn will allow you to play all kinds of games.

If you’re looking for a new laptop for gaming, then here’s what to consider at the first mind mapping:
– What kind of games do I want to play?
– How powerful should my processor be?
– How much RAM do I need?
– What screen size should my laptop have?
– How much storage space should my laptop have?

All above them, as we have limited capacity to tell you as with a lengthy article you yourself will avoid we have listed 5 basic things to consider when it comes to buying a new gaming laptop.
Here starts the GO.

Here are the 5 Things to Consider When Buying a Gaming Laptop

best-gaming-laptop1) Screen Size / Resolution

Screen size is the most important factor that determines the display quality of a device. Screen resolution is a measure of how many pixels can be displayed on a screen. It is measured in pixels per inch. The higher the number, the better the quality of the display.
The larger the screen size, the better it will be for playing games. However, some people prefer to have smaller screens because they can carry them around easier and it’s also easier to use them with one hand only.
Screen Resolution:
Screen resolution is the capacity of the device to give clear output. The higher the screen resolution, the better and more fascinating it will be for people who are watching videos or playing games on their laptop, because they will get clearer images.

2) Ports

While screens & ports may not seem to have a direct impact on you, they do nonetheless. For instance, if you buy a laptop with too few ports to accommodate your peripherals, such as a gaming mouse or headset, within a short time the experience will no longer feel right & it will have an adverse impact on your work.
Although you can work through such a situation with dongles and other accessories, this process is usually stressful. Rather than trying to add extra USB ports to your laptop, it’s better (and cheaper!) to find a model with them in the first place.
This directly means you have to give your new gaming laptop ports a scan earlier before you buy it.

3) CPU

The CPU is the brain of a computer or laptop. It is responsible for executing instructions, performing calculations, and controlling input and output devices.
This may sound simple enough but it’s actually an incredibly complex process that requires a lot of power to do it efficiently. The CPU is so important that many people believe it will be the most important component in laptops, and computers for the next few decades. So look over the processor of your laptop before you buy it, because with a low-power processor you may have lagging issues.

4) Weight

Weight is an important factor when choosing a laptop. Laptops come in different shapes and sizes. It is possible to find a laptop that will suit your needs and weight preference.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is a powerful gaming laptop that is also slim and light. In fact, it’s the slimmest gaming laptop, weighing in at just 1.7 kg.
A lightweight laptop, for instance, is perfect for any gamer or people who travel often. They are also easier to carry around than heavier laptops. The downside of these laptops is that they have shorter battery life and may not be as durable as other laptops, so be careful when buying.

5) Battery Life

A laptop’s battery life is one of the most important features to consider when buying a new laptop, especially for playing games, because we know how much it is exhausting when you are just there to win the game while leading all opponents and there is a notification: BATTERY LOW!
There are many factors that can affect your battery life and it can be difficult to know how long your laptop will last on a single charge.
There are many factors that can affect your battery life. These include:
-The type of power sources you have, such as a power outlet or USB port
-How old the battery is and whether or not you use it often
-The kind of programs you’re running
-The brightness and color settings on your screen
-What kind of keyboard backlighting do you have
-Main importantly how much mAH your gaming laptop has.
and etc., but make sure to make it on your list to check how capable the battery is.

Conclusion:

We know and understand that navigating through all these options can prove to be confusing and intimidating if you’re not a tech-savvy person. The conclusion of this article in a nutshell is that you should always be careful when purchasing a laptop for gaming purposes. You need to know what you are looking for and what your budget is so that you can lead the rest out there with your best gaming laptop. We would love to know if you can tell us in which way our article helped you out buying your new gaming laptop, and do let us know if you think there is something more important that we are missing out!

Today, Night School Studio, an independent game developer, announced that it has been acquired by Netflix. This is the first acquisition of a gaming studio by the streaming giant. 

In the announcement of the acquisition, Mike Verdu, VP of game development, wrote Night School’s “commitment to artistic excellence and proven track record make them invaluable partners as we build out the creative capabilities and library of Netflix games together.”  

Adding their plans to add “exclusive games designed for every kind of gamer and any level of play” on Netflix which will be included with its membership, and will have no ads or extra in-app purchases. 

Night School Studio was founded by Sean Krankel, a former Disney game designer, and Adam Hines, former Telltale lead writer, in 2014.  

In a statement, Krankel wrote “Netflix gives film, TV and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix’s track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing.” 

 Krankel reassured fans of Oxenfree and other Night School titles that they will keep working on Oxenfree II and “cooking up new game worlds.” 

“The Netflix team has shown the utmost care for protecting our studio culture and creative vision,” he wrote. 

News of the acquisition comes just a day after Netflix launched three new casual mobile games in Poland, Italy and Spain. 

In Netflix’s second-quarter shareholder letter, the company declared itself in the early stages of exploring its gaming model, and views gaming as another content category, quite similar to its original films and reality TV shows. 

Before working on mobile games, four years ago, Netflix ventured into interactive storytelling with the launch of choose-your-own-adventure children’s shows.  

Next year, the company took the format to its adult viewers with Black Mirror’s “Bandersnatch” episode. Since then, they have added more interactive children’s shows like Emily’s Wonder Lab and Minecraft: Story Mode.
