As the core highlight of this annual gaming event, the China Game Developers Conference (CGDC) has become the center of attention with its forward-looking vision, international pattern, and professional depth.

ChinaJoy China Game Developers Conference 2025

This year's CGDC focuses on sharing cutting-edge technological achievements and exploring trends in the gaming industry, achieving comprehensive content upgrades on the basis of existing technical segments and types of special sessions. The aim is to promote independent innovation in the Chinese gaming industry, help original works go global, and build an international platform for global game developers to exchange and collaborate. The conference has set up special sessions on RPG, strategy games, IndieGame, action adventure shooting, globalization and other featured technologies, inviting 60 top experts from the global gaming industry to share on stage. This includes Guillaume Brache, producer of Sandfall Interactive's "Light and Shadow," Tonohiko Sho, producer of Koei Tecmo's "True Three Kingdoms Warriors," Luo Xiangyu, producer of "Showa Mi Story," Yao Zhen, producer and CTO of WarOS, Wang Junsheng, CTO of Youzu Network, Zhang Mo, R&D director of Tencent Games' "Peace Elite," and other domestic and foreign industry leaders; At the same time, Chen Dao, chairman of the ByteDance Zero36 Technical Committee, Shen Yichai, technical director of Vitas, Lin Nan, technical director of Nvidia, Li Wei, technical expert of Unity in China, Yao Yifei, head of Qualcomm's game products in China, Darin Bifani, director of Godot Asia Pacific, Song Yachen, CEO of Tripo VAT and other top technical experts in the global Internet and technology fields were attracted to participate.

It is worth noting that technical experts from PC game and independent game production teams performed outstandingly in this forum. As one of the first single player game producers in China, Yao Zhen, along with Yao Zhuangxian, producer of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhang Chun, producer of "Iron Storm", and Qiu Xin, producer of "Swordsman Romance", are among the pioneers of early original games in China. This time, he made an appearance with "Star Battlefield WarOS" and shared "Practice and Breakthroughs in Developing RTS Games with Open Source Engines" as producer and CTO. Its deep experience and unique insights in the industry have not only gained widespread recognition among peers, but also attracted multiple foreign publishers to actively negotiate cooperation, demonstrating the international appeal of China's original game technology.

Hello!

This is the Freestyle 2 Development Team.

A balance hotfix will be applied to address issues identified after the August 13th patch.

Since the August 6th balance patch, we have been closely monitoring various play patterns and stat efficiency changes.

During this process, we identified parts where the efficiency was excessively higher or lower than intended and will be making adjustments accordingly.

The Freestyle 2 Development Team will continue to monitor the game to provide a more enjoyable and pleasant environment, and we will apply necessary improvements quickly.

Please check the detailed changes below and feel free to share your feedback on the balance patch.

~ After the balance patch, the “Defensive Power Forward” trait skill for PF
positions will be reset. Please check your trait skills before playing.



1. Skill Balance Adjustments
→ [Fast Drift Shot] The base speed of the Fast Drift Shot skill will be slightly reduced.

2. Play Coefficient Adjustments
A. Physical Contact Stat Adjustments
→ In driving situations, the collision range based on the physical contact stat will be reduced.
→ The general collision range for positions other than big men (C, PF, CT) will be reduced.

B. Steal Coefficient Adjustments
→ Steal efficiency will be slightly reduced compared to the August 6th patch.

3. Trait Skill Adjustments
A. Rebound & Block Center (C)
→ Added a stat that reduces the motion of the Box-Out Swim Move.

B. 3-Point Specialist Shooting Guard (SG)
→ When equipping the “Jab Step Timing Fake Enhancement” skill in the [Main] stage,
it will now be possible to chain Side Step Back with X and C inputs.

C. Defensive Power Forward (PF)
→ The “Power Alley-oop” skill will be moved from the [Legend] stage to the [All-Star] stage.
→ The “Power Rebound” skill’s “Power Rebound Range Increase” stat will be adjusted. (+36 → +24)

4. Other Balance Adjustments
→ [Shot Arc Probability Adjustments] When big men (C, PF, CT) are in close-range contests near the basket,
the probability of a high-point arc trajectory will increase.
