On April 11, a heavy news detonated the whole game circle, and the game version number that had been suspended for 8 months was officially restarted.
The reporter noted that the General Administration of press and publication issued 45 game edition numbers this time.
Many analysts told reporters excitedly that this news means that the whole game industry will open and unseal, and the industry may usher in a bottom rebound.
45 edition numbers issued
Since the suspension of Chinese game version number in July last year, the review of Chinese game version number has been suspended for 8 months.
On April 11, the State Administration of press and publication announced the first batch of game edition numbers approved and issued this year, with a total of 45, which also marks the official restart of game edition numbers.
The reporter noted that among the approved game titles, there are many new game works of well-known companies, including Yoozoo Interactive Co.Ltd(002174) ‘s “young Three Kingdoms: Pocket battle”, Xishanju’s “origin of sword net 3”, heart network’s “party star”, G-Bits Network Technology(Xiamen)Co.Ltd(603444) subsidiary thunder network’s “Tower Hunter”, etc.
Earlier on the 11th, the reporter learned from a number of game companies that at present, a number of game version numbers have been approved by the State Press and publication administration, and the signature is April 8. Now this “Jianghu rumor” has finally come true.
In terms of quantity, compared with the past, the number of editions released in this round has been significantly reduced.
“At present, the number of releases must be within expectations, and the distribution of compressed version numbers must be the trend in the future.” An industry analyst said, “however, as long as the audit is restarted, it is good for the industry.”
in addition, the reporter noted that the version number works released in this round are China’s second echelon and small and medium-sized game companies. Tencent and Netease, China’s two largest game manufacturers, are not included in this list
“This may also reveal a policy orientation, and the release of edition numbers may be more inclined to small and medium-sized game companies in the future,” said the aforementioned industry insiders
industry repair node has been to
Boosted by the news of the release of the edition number, the pre session rise of Chinese game stocks in US stocks continued to expand, with BiliBili rising by more than 10% and previously falling by more than 9%; Tiger teeth and Netease rose more than 8% in front of the market.
A game industry analyst excitedly told reporters, “the game version number is more like an iconic node, which means that the inflection point of the industry has come.” Previously, a person in charge of a small and medium-sized game company also told reporters, “at present, our industry does not lack interested investors, but the version number is not released, and the risk of this industry will deter funds.”
2021 is a severe winter for the game industry. Under the dual pressure of the suspension of edition number issuance and the minor protection policy, the valuation of the game sector has fallen to a low level for many years.
At that time, some industry analysts pointed out that if the version number was not restarted, the fundamentals of the game industry could not be improved, and its valuation center would remain at a historical low.
“In fact, from the perspective of policy, relevant government departments have always attached great importance to the development of the game industry.” A person close to the regulatory authorities told reporters that there were loopholes in the follow-up supervision of version number approval, which objectively led to the suspension of version number issuance. “In addition, for many small and medium-sized game companies for a long time, the protection measures for minors are not perfect, so the industry needs time to standardize the development.”
Now, the version number is restarted, and many analysts told reporters that in the medium and long term, the inflection point of valuation repair in the game industry has come. Some analysts stressed that in the long run, metauniverse is expected to become the next generation of media beyond the Internet. Games will become the key content entrance of metauniverse. Metauniverse will reconstruct the production and valuation system of games and bring new imagination space to the game industry.
“The future development of the game industry should be explored in a more high-tech direction.” However, some analysts pointed out that as the tightening of the number of game version numbers has become the norm, it will force game companies to improve game quality, “which is also an important path to promote the high-quality development of the industry.”
