July 2023 Game Licensing Update: 88 Titles Approved, Strategy Games Lead the Way

The National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) recently released the domestic game license approvals for July 2023, with 88 titles receiving the green light. Among them, several highly anticipated tactical strategy games (SLG/TRPG) caught the attention of the ACG gaming community.

Key titles such as 'Front Mission: Borders' (Gang Lan) and 'Sword of Convallaria' are the highlights of this batch, signaling a strong pipeline for strategy genre fans. The sci-fi tactical game 'Mist Formula' (Mi Wu Gong Shi) was also approved. Despite these big names, many users on the NGA forums commented: 'I barely recognize any of these.'

Community discussions are heavily centered on these major titles. While some players celebrated the approval of their long-awaited games, others were baffled by obscure titles like 'Tower of Fantasy: God-Conferring Records' (Huan Ta Feng Shen Lu), which became a subject of memes. Meanwhile, fans of other blockbusters like 'Zenless Zone Zero' expressed disappointment at their continued absence from the list.
