A mobile game featuring virtual anchors, "Void Ring", has recently attracted widespread attention.

Tencent released the game's first PV on the 4th, and the video featuring virtual streamers competing for the title of "strongest" in a parallel world quickly garnered 5.5 million views on Bilibili.

"The history of the V-Circle is rewritten by you! ”

With such an abstract slogan, "Imaginary Ring" quickly aroused heated discussions. Not only because of its relatively new subject matter, but also because it uses many virtual idols that are known for their abstraction on Internet platforms, including some that have ceased activity.

As the popularity of the PV rose, the development team conducted a live broadcast through Tencent's virtual idol channel and revealed more information. Gameplay in Void Ring doesn't involve directly controlling a virtual idol character, but instead allows players to train to decide on a battle strategy and then watch the battles take place automatically.

The target release date for the game is set for late 2025 or the first half of 2026. The development team plans to conduct small-scale testing in 2024 and more extensive testing in 2025.

Although Tencent is China's leading game developer, it has rarely ventured into such subculture, even abstract games, before. Many players also find it hard to believe that this is a game launched by Tencent, and in the impression of the outside world, the products launched by Tencent are more "serious".

However, some voices pointed out that this is Tencent through this game to show its understanding in the two-dimensional field, if it will mark Tencent's further expansion in the two-dimensional field.

Guangguang, general manager of Tencent CDD, said in the live broadcast that the purpose of developing "Void Ring" is to explore the development direction of virtual idols, try to unite the V circle to earn more revenue through gamification, so that the participating anchors can get the corresponding share, and improve the monetization method of the V circle

In addition, the "Void Ring" project is limited to female virtual anchors, and there will be no male virtual anchors.
