The video was not only posted on Weibo, but also on major video websites abroad.
Moreover, the whole cinematic was in English, and it was captioned in different languages according to the region.
Although there wasnât much description, just a video was enough to make players from all over the world excited!
As Chen Mo released more and more high quality games, Thunderbolt entertainment had gained a lot of attention in China.
Overseas, as Warcraft, Diablo, Minecraft, League of Legends, and other classic games spread like wildfire, Thunderbolt Entertainmentâs influence was also growing.
This was especially true for Thunderbolt Entertainmentâs die-hard fans, who couldnât help but have a question in their minds after watching the video.
What kind of game was this?
Such a distinctive and rich CG quickly caused a heated discussion among players around the world.
The players in China.
âThis is Chen Moâs new game? Itâs also a Western fantasy theme!â
âChen Mo is good at Western fantasy themes! However, it seems like this worldâs background and overall atmosphere is Diablo. â
âChen Mo can definitely handle Diablo wind, but I want to ask, why didnât he use the ip of Diablo, but instead made a new game, Dark Souls? This world view doesnât match at all!â
âThis should be made using the Pangu system. Itâs also a Western fantasy theme. Is this going to challenge Knightâs glory?â
......
âBut ... Other than the video cinematics, I didnât see anything else. I donât know the specific game content or the battle.â
âI think itâs probably a hack and slash game like Diablo. With plenty of mowing battles, itâll be easier to display the Pangu systemâs physical power. â
There were also many people discussing it overseas.
âThe GA just revealed some information about Knightâs glory, and Thunderbolt entertainment released the new gameâs promo? This is really interesting. â
âCould it be that this Chinese company is going to use a Western fantasy theme to compete with the GA? Isnât that a little too stupid?â
âThe guy in front, youâre really ignorant. Thunderbolt entertainment already has classic western fantasy games like Warcraft and Diablo. Itâs obvious that their main designer, Mister, has a deeper understanding of Western fantasy than some European and American designers. I wouldnât be surprised if this company released another classic western fantasy game.â
âThatâs right, Iâm actually looking forward to it. In fact, itâs better to count on Thunderbolt entertainment than to expect an Omega to come up with a better Western fantasy theme. After all, everyone knows how much of an Omegaâs sh * t is, and Thunderbolt entertainment has already had so many successful precedents!â
âBut I canât tell anything from this video! Iâm not worried about the world, a company that can make Warcraft and Diablo would have no problems with the world structure. However, whether or not it can beat Knightâs glory still depends on the way it is played!â
â I think this promotional video is very ordinary. Itâs obviously mystifying. Thereâs a lot of meaning in it, but it seems to have been completely cut off. Just from this video, I canât tell the background of the entire world.â
âWeâll only know when the game is released!â
Obviously, the quality of the gameâs CG was first-class, completely worthy of Thunderbolt film studioâs reputation. It was just that many people did not quite understand the specific world-building content of the CG.
Of course, this was all within Chen Zhaoâs expectations.
The world background of Dark Souls was different from any Western fantasy theme in the past. It could be said to be completely unique. It was very unrealistic to integrate the whole world and explain it clearly in a video that only lasted a few minutes.
Moreover, Chen Mo didnât want to explain it clearly, because most of the worldâs content was distributed among the collection of weapons, tools, and maps, which required the players to slowly figure it out and figure it out on their own.
This video was based on Dark Souls 3 with a small portion of Dark Souls 1.
At the beginning of the game, the creation of the Age of Fire was mentioned mainly to give players a basic idea of how this world was created. Why did the people want to pass the fire? What kind of existence was the Lord of Cinder?
After explaining these concepts clearly, they continued with the opening plot of Dark Souls 3.
Of course, Chen Mo didnât go into too much detail, including Sun King Gwyn, witch, Tomb King NEET, White Dragon Sith, etc. He didnât mention anything in detail, mainly to hide some plot in preparation for Dark Souls 1.
The main focus was still on the plot of Dark Souls 3, and the main scenes were given to the ancient Lords of Cinder.
â¦â¦
Soon, players all over the world began to guess what Chen Moâs next game would be!
Of course, the Chinese players were the main battlefields, because they (thought) understood Chen Mo the best.
Obviously, this was a work created with the support of the Pangu system, so the game must have highly highlighted the Pangu systemâs physical support, and it was most likely a VR game.
At the same time, from the background of the world, it was completely Diablo. In a sense, this world was even more despairing than the world of Diablo!
This was because there were at least a bunch of angels in the world of Diablo who were against the demons. Although these angels werenât good people, they seemed to be on the playersâ side.
At the same time, although the cities were surrounded by a bunch of monsters, there were at least some living villagers in the cities.
However, from the video of Dark Souls, especially the latter half of the video, there were no normal creatures ...
The Punisher-carrying inspector who was dressed like a reptile, the mud-like Aldrich, the giant yum who was holding a vegetable knife ...
Only the abyss watchman Farronâs undead squad looked normal, but their hats were hanging low, and they were obviously not to be trifled with.
And the voice-over in the video also clearly said, â the Lord of Cinder will definitely give up the throne. â What did that mean?
The fireless ashes would come in a flurry. It was unclear if this was a good or bad thing. To say that they were â nameless, undead who could not be paid, and cursed, â it felt like they were definitely bad people. Could it be that they wanted to fight with them?
Judging from the video, the entire world of Dark Souls seemed to be a hopeless world. Everyone was living well when there was a fire, but now the fire was going out. What should they do?
Of course, these were all the playersâ speculations, and there were right and wrong.
However, such a world setting had instead aroused the crazy pursuit of some dark players!
In fact, after Chen Mo released Diablo, there were a few other companies that followed suit and released Diablo games, but they werenât as successful as Diablo, and the genre wasnât as popular.
The playstyle was one aspect, but the world view was another.
This was because Diablo didnât change the way Diablo was played, and there werenât any obvious advantages after it was made into a VR game, because Diabloâs farming style was more suitable for PC.
Moreover, these games didnât have the same world structure as Diablo, so the sense of despair and the depth of the plot were far from it. That was why there hadnât been any good Diablo games on the market for a long time.
Many players of Diablo were looking forward to Chen Mo releasing more of the series, or moving Diablo to VR.
However, Chen Mo had always been free and easy, and no one knew what he would do in his next game.
That was why the players of Diablo couldnât get Diablo 2 even though they had been looking forward to it.
After seeing the dark Souls promotional video, although some of the dark players were a little disappointed (after all, the game did not use a dark ip, and the hope of killing Big Pineapple again was lost), most of the dark players were still quite excited.
There hadnât been any good Diablo games on the market for a long time, and dark Souls was made by Chen Mo himself, so it definitely wouldnât be bad.
Moreover, from the opening video, the world structure of the entire world was definitely excellent. The only thing that was uncertain now was how the game would be played.
Many of Diabloâs fans had already decided that they would accept it even if Chen Mo decided to improve Diabloâs gameplay.
There was no choice, some die-hard fans were just that good at making do.
What they didnât know was that Chen Zhao was going to give them a huge surprise.
...Or perhaps, he was frightened.
