Four years ago, when the Cyberpunk style was far less prevalent, a VR interactive movie called "A.D. 2047" attracted many players' attention. When most VR-related products were still making a fuss about augmenting virtual reality effects, "A.D. 2047" already focused on the interactive experience of content, trying to polish in-game image quality, plots, actions, and even music, digging deeper into the game's interactivity, and strengthening the players' immersive experience.
On July 8th，the long-awaited high-quality VR interactive movie "A.D. 2047" will finally be launched officially by" Leenzee Games" on Steam.
Four years of hard-working, High-quality development
Unlike other VR games in the current market, the biggest attraction of "A.D. 2047" is that the game itself pays more attention to the interaction between the player and the plot. The player begins the game experience from the first-person perspective of the hero Kevin and constantly explores the clues behind the car accident related to the heroine Rachel. The suspense reasoning process is the focus of the whole game. In this process, players seem to be experiencing a detective drama with great tension.
The Leenzee Games spent four years, from nothing to the completion. These efforts from early conception design, world view setting, script outline construction, plot content design, and play mode design, until scene construction and character production, animation, and final optimization and testing.

To make the whole story more realistic and strengthen the immersive experience of the player, developers of A.D. 2047 used a high standard developing process in UE4 for scenario building, creating a variety of game props by using Maya, 3DMAX, Zbrush, Substance, and other software, and finally adjusting the overall atmosphere of lighting and optimization in UE4. To make the plot more vivid, the developers of A.D. 2047 use Vicon for motion capture and Dynamixyz for facial capture.
The story takes place in a fictional place named "Chuanshan City," based on the Chinese southwest city Chongqing. The city's technology level has enabled full internet coverage, limit-developed artificial intelligence, the popularization of functional robots, and the miniaturization of information devices. A group called "Shanhai Group" in the game acquires surreal science and technology, which has achieved scientific and technological breakthroughs in many fields in just a few years.
Rachel Ye, the only daughter of the chairman of Shanhai Group, was involved in an artificial car accident and fell into a coma. Her old flame, Kevin Lu, and his assistant, Jessie Yang, launched an investigation to track down the perpetrator. As the investigation progressed, Kevin Lu found that there was a battle between different forces behind the bustling city. All the clues point to a suspended murder years ago. Wu Longsheng and those around him were killed in succession, and Kevin Lu was also repeatedly attacked by mysterious killers. Kevin realized that he had been involved in a grand conspiracy. Kevin and his assistants are deep in trouble, and only by relying on their strength to find out the real culprit can they stop the constant murders.
In the world of A.D. 2047, you don't need to pick up all kinds of strange and complex weapons to challenge enemies. With the unconventional gameplay settings, players need to follow the game's suggestions and give feedback through QTE gameplay mode. All the puzzles can be solved with different interactive content, and the game operation experience and immersive plot experience are satisfied.
As for the music of the game，the team of "A.D.2047" invited composer and indie music producer Regan Li to create 26 pieces of acoustic music for different plots and clips. A large amount of synthetic and electronic music presents a post-modern Cyberpunk atmosphere. In addition, cello, piano, and other classic instruments are also interspersed, symbolizing human nature and life vitality. The complex emotion of mortal fear, resistance, and anger is interwoven with suspense, which brings a different kind of game audition experience to the players. It is worth noting that with the game officially launched, the game's soundtrack will also be found exclusively on the NetEase Cloud music platform, and players will have the opportunity to continue enjoying Regan Li's music out of the game.
With its highly rendered pictures, VR games' unique virtual reality enhancement, and music that perfectly captures the story's atmosphere, "AD 2047" presents a delightful audio-visual feast. Experiencing "A.D. 2047" is more like going through a movie-level video journey that is arranged precisely as you wish.
Three standard versions, respectively, with Chinese, Japanese, and English dubbing, will be launched synchronously on Steam on July 8th.
Before landing on Steam, AD2047 has already been critically acclaimed in the VR game industry. During the early stages of the project, it received the VDA World Award for Best Immersive Experience, GCC's VR/AR/AI Industry Application Award for Best Visual Effects, and Tencent GAD's Best VR Game Award. It was also nominated for the Best Narrative Award of the IndiePlay China and Best VR Game of the Golden Plume Award, which shows the industry's recognition of the movie-style interactive experience created by this game.
