The product, available at https://www.vietnamplus.vn/50namgiaiphongmiennam/, offers a fresh, innovative format featuring a 3D interactive game centered around the indomitable symbol of the April 30 Victory – the tank of the Liberation Army breaking down the gates of the Independence Palace. This iconic moment has become a source of national pride, reflecting the people’s relentless desire for the complete liberation of the South and the reunification of the country.
Like a slow-motion film, the VietnamPlus product immerses readers in the historic journey of national reunification, from the Central Highlands Campaign, the rapid advance of troops breaking new ground, to the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign and General Duong Van Minh’s surrender.

VietnamPlus has launched the special 3D interactive multimedia product “Hung ca thong nhat dat nuoc”, which is available at https://www.vietnamplus.vn/50namgiaiphongmiennam/ |
This heroic chapter of the nation’s history is brought to life through archival videos, 3D graphic interactions, touch gestures on desktops (or smartphones), allowing readers to experience this momentous time. Historical information is presented in a data-journalism style, while video-graphics bring the story to life. A podcast recounts the unforgettable moments of the nation's history. Users can toggle sound on and off and drive the tank on-screen, using smartphone controls or the arrow keys and WASD on desktops to enhance their experience.
According to the 2024 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, most young readers prefer to watch and listen rather than read. With the "Audience First" principle - all directed towards the reader, VietnamPlus has embraced this shift, moving from traditional text and images to video, 3D graphics, and podcasts over the years.
With the epic of national reunification, VietnamPlus aligns with one of the seven major changes in media today - a shift in storytelling methods, from text and photo to multimedia storytelling.
This special product has been released at a time when the Vietnam News Agency, the country's leading multimedia news agency, is accelerating its digital transformation and diversifying its platforms.
In addition to the featured content, readers can explore a variety of topics about a Vietnam entering a new era 50 years after reunification, including a focus on Ho Chi Minh City, which is now a key economic hub and a center for innovation.
