A multiplayer mode will appear in the Puzzle & Dragons title.
Users will have the opportunity to clear the dungeon of dragons together, that is, the gameplay will not be competitive, but cooperative. Multiplayer will be added in one of the updates – more precise dates have not yet been named.
This, according to the analyst of the studio Kantan Games Serkan Toto (Serkan Toto), is an attempt to make the game “more social”. So far, there are practically no social elements in the game as such.
The appearance of a multiplayer mode should, according to the authors of the game, increase the involvement and retention of users. In addition, the innovation is designed to extend the life cycle of the title.
The game recently turned three years old. In Japan, it enjoys constant popularity and is almost a monopolist of the mobile gaming market. It owns up to 51% of all local revenue from mobile projects.
At the same time, the authors of Puzzle & Dragons do not have a replacement title. GungHo – “one game studio”. Unlike King, which has already been in a similar situation, the company has not yet had a new hit.
Its management has made attempts to expand the audience at the expense of Western markets, but so far – unsuccessfully.
