Despite their limited success, CyberStep hasn’t given up on the Western market. None of their games are particularly successful, but they have a small portfolio of niche games including Onigiri and GetAmped 2. They’re one of the few Japanese MMO developers and they localized several of their games into English. Take a company like CyberStep for example. So many Asian companies try launching their MMORPGs in the West, but few succeed. It’s odd to see a company make a big push into something, do nothing for 6-7 years, and then all of a sudden try again. They just took a multi-year long hiatus after shutting down their completely failed games in the West (think Zentia, Sword Girls, and Renaissance Heroes). Even though I have no interest in Steel Ocean, I’m intrigued to see that ChangYou hasn’t given up. It doesn’t look nearly as good as Wargaming‘s World of Warshipsthough, at least visually. I’m not particularly fond of these World War 2 games, as I tried playing Navy Field 2 and didn’t like it much, but Steel Ocean looks visually impressive. On NovemChangYou launched a World War 2 naval combat game called Steel Ocean on Steam. Perfect World was definitely more successful in the West than ChangYou, but it looks like ChangYou is giving it another try. They even bought Cryptic Studios, which makes Neverwinter and Champions Online. Perfect World Entertainment made a much more successful push into the West and ended up launching a large library of games here. ChangYou isn’t the first Chinese company that made a push into the West. ChangYou also bought a company called RaidCall to try breaking into the Gamer VOIP market, but this also failed.
Steel ocean game modes update#
Currently Dragon Oath’s website and game servers are still up, but the official website hasn’t seen an update in years. and Europe, but unfortunately, the game didn’t do so well and they quickly abandoned it.
They experimented with Western expansion with the launch of Dragon Oath(called TLBB in Asia.
Many Western gamers may not know much about ChangYou, but they’re one of the top 5 or 6 biggest game developers/publishers in China.
