Chen Mo nodded: "Although it has not been fully decided yet... But it may appear in the form of a prequel."
Denise was very excited, obviously this was the most valuable news she found this time.
"So, is there anything you can reveal about the Dark Souls prequel?"
Chen Mo said: "Well... the background of the story has been finalized, but I can't reveal too much now, I can only reveal that this is a story set far earlier than the time of "Dark Soul" itself."
Denise asked: "The time setting is far earlier than itself... How early is it? Will it tell us about the beginning of the "Dark Souls" world?"
Chen Mo said: "Well, in this plot, players will come into contact with many early characters of "Dark Soul", including the Sun King Gwen who established the Age of Fire."
"Actually, the R&D plan for this work has already been finalized, and it won't take too long, because the overall engine is based on the current engine, and only some scenes need to be added."
Denise became more and more excited the more she heard: "Really? So this time it will be released separately, or will it appear in the form of dlc?"
Chen Mo said: "It will be sold separately, but this time it is expected that there will be two different versions, including the VR version and the handheld version."
Denise froze for a moment: "Handheld version?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes. Regarding this handheld, it is actually only sold in China at present. If you are interested, I can give you one, or you can bring it back to Tgn to have a look. It is expected that this handheld will be released soon. It will be sold abroad."
Chen Mo stood up, brought a brand new switch from the side, and handed it to Denise.
"This is a brand new handheld? Oh, I have a little impression, but this handheld doesn't seem to be on sale in Europe and the United States." Denise held the Switch box in her hand and observed it curiously.
Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, because I have been busy with the research and development of "Dark Soul" before, and I am in a hurry, and there are not too many games on it, so I consider postponing the release for a few months. This time The "Dark Soul" prequel and the "Dark Soul" body will be launched on the handheld platform."
Dennis was a little surprised: "Isn't this superfluous? Those who really like "Dark Soul" are hardcore players, and they definitely prefer to play in the game cabin."
Chen Mo smiled: "It's not the same. The current pricing strategy is like this, if players buy the vr version of "Dark Souls", they will get the handheld version of "Dark Souls" for free. They can't afford the VR game cabin Players can also buy the switch version directly, and it will be very cheap, only 98 soft sister coins, equivalent to about 16 US dollars, less than 1/20 of the vr version."
Denise nodded. After hearing the price, she slightly understood the advantages of the handheld version of "Dark Soul".
However, she has not opened the box yet, so it is difficult to understand what it would be like to play "Dark Soul" on such a small handheld.
Denise asked: "So, how much will Dark Souls shrink on the handheld?"
Chen Mo said: "The game content of "Dark Soul" will be faithfully reproduced, and there will not be too much shrinkage. Of course, due to the different operation and display methods of the two devices, the handheld version of "Dark Soul" will be more difficult to experience. There will definitely be some changes.”
"But I think the handheld version and the VR version are two different gaming experiences, and it's hard to arbitrarily say which one is better."
Denise said excitedly: "So, in the "Dark Soul" prequel, can my favorite whip weapon be strengthened?"
Chen Mo showed a smiling expression: "As I said before, you can turn off the damage display."
Denise: "…"
Obviously, it is impossible for Chen Mo to increase the damage of whip weapons...
Dennis thought for a while, and then asked: "There is another very critical question, how difficult is the prequel of "Dark Soul"? Will you lower the difficulty because of the strong demand of the players?"
Chen Mo chuckled: "I've said it before, when I was making "Dark Soul", I never considered the difficulty, because what I want to bring to the players is an unexpected feeling. Give them a sense of surprise and the joy of heart."
"About the prequel to Dark Souls... Let's just say it's going to be a more unexpected game. Or maybe it's the real essence of the Dark Souls game, I think in the game Sexually, it will go beyond Dark Souls right now."
After finishing speaking, Chen Mo showed another meaningful smile.
Denise was very excited: "Okay, I believe many players can't wait, and hope that the prequel of "Dark Soul" can be made as soon as possible!"
Denise chatted with Chen Mo again. The reporter from the other side of the ocean was obviously curious about everything in the experience store. After asking a lot of questions, she reluctantly left.
"In short, the content of the previous work of "Dark Soul" shouldn't be something that needs to be kept secret, right? It shouldn't be a problem to release it to players now, right?" Denise asked.
Chen Mo smiled: "No problem, you can let the players look forward to it. By the way, I hope you can play the switch and help promote it."
Denise nodded: "Okay, then I will take my leave. I hope there will be opportunities for interviews in the future."
Denise walked away happily, with her mind full of longing for the Dark Souls prequel.
Presumably, other players' expectations for this work should be similar to Denise's, but Chen Mo couldn't help smiling when he thought of the difficulty of this game.
…
During this period of time, Chen Mo had a lot of things going on.
At present, the number of employees of Leiting Huyu has been increased. Not only are there more and more people in the field of art, but also the number of people responsible for the operation and maintenance of various projects is also increasing. The fourth floor of the experience store is almost completely full. .
Thunder Entertainment currently has a lot of work.
On the one hand is the "League of Legends" event. The domestic league is in full swing and the popularity is getting higher and higher, and the time for the second global finals is gradually approaching. Many "League of Legends" players are looking forward to it.
In addition, "Watching Pioneer" has already launched an international version, and the response in the European and American markets is very good.
However, the popularity of this game in China has not achieved the same dominance as "League of Legends", mainly due to the characteristics of this game.
Because the game depth of "Overwatch" is not very good, it is difficult for the popularity to continue to rise. Many players have temporarily sealed it after the novelty has passed.
However, "Overwatch" is still a popular game, and it still needs to be operated for a long time.
Of course, there are dedicated personnel responsible for maintaining these contents, so Chen Mo doesn't need to worry about it, because the game has basically been finalized.
Chen Mo's current work mainly focuses on two aspects. On the one hand, it is to remake "Dark Soul 1", so that the "Dark Soul" series can be fully presented in this world; It is to make corresponding promotion around the switch.
So far, switch has not been released in the European and American markets, and the games on the platform do not have any particularly popular masterpieces except "Odyssey".
And Chen Mo wanted to use the popularity of "Dark Soul" to lay the foundation for Switch to open up the European and American markets.
Handheld consoles and VR game cabins are aimed at completely different groups of people, and the biggest advantage of handheld consoles is that they are cheap.
Like "Dark Soul", the vr version is 1988, but the handheld version can be bought for only 98.
The difference in experience between these two devices is mainly due to the difference in immersion. Just looking at the gameplay and content of the game, the handheld version of "Dark Soul" is also fun.
In addition, the market share of the mobile platform is still expanding. Just like in the previous life, more and more manufacturers have magically modified the games on the PC side and put them on the mobile platform, and the effect is very good, and the profitability of mobile games is getting stronger and stronger.
As for the mobile game platform, Chen Mo hasn't launched a new game for nearly a year, so can he take this opportunity to have fun again
