Blockbuster “copycat” Riot
That is the story of Operation Apocalypse – a new generation FPS game from publisher NetEase. In fact, Operation Apocalypse is a remake of Hyper Front. This is a game that was sued by Riot to the point of having to stop operating, the reason is that it has too many similar elements to the blockbuster VALORANT.
Riot filed lawsuits against NetEase in the UK, Germany, Brazil, and Singapore for copyright infringement. Finally, on April 10, 2023, Hyper Front officially stopped operating with a series of harsh criticisms from the global gaming community. However, after a period of silence, the game returned with a new name – Operation Apocalypse. The game was officially launched on August 30 and was well received.
