Chapter 1079: The Lich King has awakened

Views:

"The matrix game pod has sold more than 20 million copies, and this game will be released."

Chen Mo's new Weibo is still extremely simple, without writing a single word.

There are only two sentences in the text of Weibo, but it is obvious that the cg attached below is the main content of this time.

The first time Chen Mo posted Weibo, the players all commented and forwarded it immediately. At this time, they hadn't paid much attention to the specific content of this cg.

But after reposting, click on the video to watch, and the reactions of the players are different.

Almost fell off the chair.

Some shouted out on the spot, more excited than seeing their favorite team.

Sometimes I burst into tears on the spot, and even hugged my good friend next to me and cried.

There are also those who can't wait to run out of the house immediately and run several laps around their own community.

Responses varied, but none without excitement.

Some new players may be confused, what's the situation

And the reply with the most likes on this Weibo is very simple, only three words, but it has received 10,000+ likes.

"Seven years!!!"

When the familiar Thunder Interactive Entertainment logo appeared on the screen, most players hadn't realized what kind of promotional film it would be, and thought it was just an ordinary preview of Chen Mo's next new game.

However, when the logo disappeared and the Lich King Arthas sitting on the Frozen Throne appeared on the screen, the indifference of all the players immediately turned into ecstasy. They even rubbed their eyes in disbelief, confirming that Excited cheers erupted only after I had read correctly!

I still remember that seven years ago, Chen Mo was still a little-known c-level designer, and Leiting Huyu only owned a small experience store, which was considered to be only for casual games like "Plants vs. Zombies". It caused a little splash in the fields of mobile games and PCs.

Even after the launch of "My name is mt" and the Azeroth universe, most people didn't think that this would become a classic IP that could conquer the world. Instead, they felt that whether it was anime or mobile games, it was just Chen Mo's idea. A new way of making money.

Indeed, most of the game companies at that time were learning the business model of "My name is mt". Even if there were a few attempts to copy the works of the Azeroth universe, they were stillborn soon.

For these game companies, learning the classic krypton gold mobile game model of "My name is mt" has given many mobile game designers a chance to turn around, and it has also made the entire mobile game market grow by leaps and bounds. The volume continues to expand, and even begins to squeeze The living space of PC terminal games.

It wasn't until the launch of "Warcraft" that people really realized that Chen Mo and Lei Ting Huyu would never be satisfied with casual games, nor would they be satisfied with mobile games with a strong ability to attract money.

This unprecedented real-time strategy game achieved impressive results in the PC game market of that era, and let the reputation of Leiting Huyu spread overseas. The design of the game itself also provided a lot of development ideas for future PC games. , such as the design of the ladder.

The plot of "Warcraft" perfectly shows the content of the Azeroth universe, so that everyone no longer doubts that as long as Chen Mo is willing to work hard on this IP, it will definitely be a brilliant stroke in the history of world games.

At the end of "Warcraft: The Frozen Throne" ending cg, Alsace, who defeated Illidan and his allies, began to climb the high throne alone, with Frostmourne on his waist, and a black cloak fluttering behind him Look, a head of white hair is so conspicuous.

That lonely figure was like him entering Lordaeron's royal city, raising his sword to kill his father.

Anub'arak and other loyal Scourge soldiers continued to slaughter the defeated enemy outside the throne, but Arthas no longer cared about all this. He climbed to the top of the Frozen Throne, obeying Ner'zhul's will, smashing Pick up the ice crown that fell on the ground.

For yourself, be crowned king.

After that, Arthas fell into a long sleep.

He sat on the throne, holding Frostmourne tightly in his right hand, closed his eyes, and kept this position motionless. The snowstorm all over the sky made the ice layer on his body thicker and thicker, and he was about to merge with the Frozen Throne.

With the sound of background music, the camera zoomed farther and farther away, and the story of the Frozen Throne slowly came to an end.

If there is no new promotional cg, this story can probably answer the question "Are there any stories that are considered to be the beginning but are actually at their peak?" in the Q&A community.

Players thought that Chen Mo would definitely continue the success of "Warcraft" and continue to carry forward the IP of the Azeroth universe. As long as they wait patiently, the sequel will come out.

But this wait is seven years.

During these years, Chen Mo has made "My World", "League of Legends", "Dark Soul", "The Last of Us", "The Legend of Zelda", and gta, which are recognized around the world as masterpieces, but Regarding the Azeroth universe, no matter how players and reporters asked, Chen Mo always kept a mysterious smile, and even made people think that he was ready to give up the world-renowned ip.

In the past seven years, the entire game industry has developed rapidly, almost like riding a rocket, from the VR era to the next-generation VR field.

Seven years later, the world of Azeroth came again.

However, what the players like to talk about is that even in the world of Azeroth, only four years have passed since the Lich King sat on the Frozen Throne until he finally woke up. Three years earlier.

The story after the Lich King's awakening is not introduced in the Azeroth universe, but the content before the Lich King's awakening has long been described.

"When Arthas put on the helmet, he fell into a four-year sleep."

"A doppelganger representing his only rationality and humanity was split in his soul, a young Alsace. As long as this child is still alive, there is still hope for the power to fight against evil."

"But after repeated struggles and games, Arthas still succumbed, succumbing to the darkness in his heart. He personally destroyed the incarnation of his humanity, and pierced his chest with Frostmourne."

"At that moment, all the remorse, cowardice, introspection, and doubts of Arthas were wiped out, and the once powerful power of the Holy Light was also swept away."

"He completely abandoned everything in the past and became a ruthless demon."

"Ner'zhul's spirit rejoiced, and he declared that Arthas would become the Lich King with him."

"But Arthas' sword pierced Ner'zhul's soul again: 'Not us. No one can tell me what to do. Now this power belongs to me. I am the Lich King, and I am ready.'"

"Arthas devoured Ner'zhul's soul, took his power, became the Lich King himself, and awoke from the Frozen Throne."

"The fragment of his humanity has become an illusion on the land of Northrend, guiding the adventurers in the past to explore the truth of layers."

And after four years of deep sleep, in the new promotional video, under the Lich King's helmet, his eyes glowed blue, and the ice on his body began to shatter.

Lich King, wake up.
