《龙腾世纪恐狼》与《刺客信条影》或撞期 业内人士表示无需担心

按照惯例，秋天是大型游戏发布的黄金季节，而育碧已选定11月15日作为《刺客信条：影》的发售日。但有消息称，《龙腾世纪：恐惧之狼》或将同期亮相；早前的知情人士透露，Electronic Arts计划在今年秋季推出这款游戏。

两大重头戏《刺客信条：影》与《龙腾世纪：恐惧之狼》若同期发布，可能会分散玩家注意力，因此，游戏发行商通常力求避免档期重叠。ResetEra论坛上的玩家对两部大作可能撞期表示忧虑。不过，著名游戏圈内人士shinobi602安抚道：“不必为新《龙腾世纪》的上市日期与《刺客信条》冲突而担忧。”

有前期爆料指出，《龙腾世纪：恐惧之狼》的宣发窗口或许较为紧凑，其完整游戏体验预计于2024年夏季揭晓，游戏或将在初秋时节与玩家见面。

还需留意的是，多数游戏发行商倾向于在11月后半段之前推出其重磅新作，以冲刺年度最佳榜单。假设Electronic Arts确实规划年内发布《龙腾世纪：恐惧之狼》，并意欲与《刺客信条：影》保持距离，那么游戏极有可能在9月或10月登场。

Autumn traditionally brings major game releases, and Ubisoft has decided to pre-book November 15th as the release date for Assassin's Creed: Shadows. However, according to rumors, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf should be released around the same time; earlier insiders said that Electronic Arts intends to release the project this year in the fall. Releasing two major anticipated games at the same time, such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, can divide the audience of players, and publishers are always looking to “diverge” on the release schedule. Players on ResetEra expressed concern that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will be released around the same time as Assassin's Creed: Shadows, but renowned gaming insider shinobi602 said that this is not something to worry about: “I wouldn't worry about the release date for the new Dragon Age) conflicts with AC.” Previously, insiders said that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf may have a fairly short advertising campaign. The publisher plans to fully present the gameplay of the project in the summer of 2024; the game could be released in early autumn. It is worth noting that most publishers strive to release their major promising projects before the second half of November in order to get into the TOPs at the end of the year. If Electronic Arts really plans to release Dragon Age: Dreadwolf this year and distance itself from the release of Assassin's Creed: Shadows, then the release of the project can be expected in September or October.
