2011-05-13 (China Military News cited from and PLA Daily) — Recently, an office from China’s Nanjing Military Region has finished developing a military game named Glorious Mission, which has China-owned property rights, jointly with Giant Interactive Group, Inc. (Wuxi).
Military games have been developed for years. They have formed a system and been put into use in education as well as training in some foreign armies. However, China’s own development of military games is still in the primary steps.
The finished Glorious Mission with completely-independent China-owned property rights is not only full of Chinese characteristics but also brings China up to speed on military game development.
The Glorious Mission is set from a soldier’s perspective and his barrack life. The game follows along as the soldier keeps promoting himself in training and finally qualifies to join a large-scale military exercise codenamed “Glorious Mission” and how he does in the military exercise.
The departments that invented the game are promoting the current game and looking forward to integrating more informationized and systematic concepts into it. And the promoted game software will be tried in some chosen armies.
