The huge Chinese company Tencent recently held an event. During this, they presented new titles that players can expect. Among them is “Codename LN”. A steampunk game set in ancient China.
What’s new? Last weekend, the “Tencent Up 2019” event took place. This is a huge event by Tencent that mainly interests players from China. The company presents new online games for the Chinese market there. Tencent is behind big names like League of Legends, it is even 7 times larger than Activision.
Among other things, they introduced the PC game “LN”. It is still referred to as “Codename LN” but is likely to be called Land Next.
What is known about LN (Land Next): LN is being developed by Tianmei Studios. They belong to Tencent and have also worked on a PUBG Mobile title and together with Activision on Call of Duty Mobile. Land Next is being developed for PC.
The setting resembles ancient China. It also includes influences from steampunk elements. An interesting mix of ancient China and more modern weapons.
This will be a multiplayer game, a battle royale. You can see the first trailer here:
As MMOCulture points out, local press reports that the game resembles the battle royale hit Apex Legends. In one scene, characters can be seen sliding down a roof while shooting. In another scene, 3-player squads are shown. The video also features a crossbow, grenades, pistols, and a mechanical bird.
Can we play LN in Germany? There is currently no information on when the game will be released and whether it will be released outside of China. However, the chances for a release in Germany are not unrealistic.
In 2017, Tencent presented the battle royale “Europa”. It received good feedback in the first tests and was praised as a PUBG alternative. The name Europa was changed during development, and you can now find it as Ring of Elysium in the German Steam store.
So it’s not wrong to hope for a release of LN in the West. Now shooter fans are eagerly waiting for more information and moving images about the shooter.
