Celebrating the first anniversary of a video game's launch in China

The QR code in the sky stunt was part of a drone show performed with the beautiful skyline along Huangpu River as its backdrop.

The drone show celebrates the first year anniversary of Japanese role-playing video game "Princess Connect! Re: Dive".

The video game was first launched in Japan three years ago and in China in April 2020.
