“By reconstructing the mobile game rendering process using shader replacement technology, reimagining physical textures with GPU-based edge reconstruction technology, and integrating the graphics rendering capabilities of foldable devices with AI, Honor and Gameloft have reimagined Asphalt 9: Legends to provide gamers with fluid, high-fidelity visuals and ultra-fast response times perfectly adjusted to a large foldable screen for an immersive visual and auditory experience,” reads part of the official announcement.
We don’t know how good this shader replacement technology actually is, as the optimized game will launch officially later this month (most likely at the MWC event in Barcelona). The Porsche Design Honor Magic V2 is yet to receive its official pricing, but we expect it to be one of the most expensive foldables of late.
The good news is that if you opt for the much more affordable (although it’s not the right word when the phone costs 2000 euros) regular Honor Magic V2, you will be able to play Asphalt 9 with all the goodies mentioned above.
The Honor Magic V2 is already available globally (check out our review) for £1,699.99/1,999,99 euros with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage and is available in Purple and Black. We have to wait and see if such collaborations will spawn optimized games on other foldables, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or the OnePlus Open.
