The event centered on the Game Art video design concept, which aims to optimize visuals for each game's art style. Yasuda discussed how Nioh 3 uses an open field system with distinct color palettes for each era: magenta-leaning red for the Sengoku period, blue themed on the Eight Cold Hells for the Heian period, red and yellow for ancient times, and ominous purple for the Bakumatsu period. The session also touched on a hypothetical sequel, with Yasuda noting that while it has only been two months since Nioh 3's release, he would use MOBIUZ's Fantasy mode for the dark Japanese world and Realistic mode for grounded historical visuals. Three quantum dot OLED monitors were on display: the 31.5-inch 4K/240Hz EX321UZ, the 26.5-inch WQHD/500Hz EX271QZ, and the 26.5-inch 4K/240Hz EX271UZ. All feature BenQ's Smart Game Art AI optimization, which automatically adjusts colors and contrast based on the title's art style.","whyItMatters":"The event frames Nioh 3's visual design as a showcase for BenQ's monitor technology, but the developer comments on era-specific color palettes and a potential sequel offer the most concrete new information for fans.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBenQ Japan Vice President Horaguchi moderated the talk session.
