'In ancient times, the world was undifferentiated, shrouded in heavy fog, surrounded by gray rocks, towering trees... and immortal ancient dragons. '
The video screen is filled with white fog, desolate rocks and towering trees. At the same time, in the white fog, a huge dragon-shaped shadow flashes past.
'But one day the first fire was lit, and all the differences were born! '
'Cold and hot'
'Light and Dark'
'Life and Death'
The scene quickly switched, and sparks appeared in the darkness, eventually forming a burning flame.
This burning flame is so hot and huge.
Compared with the small cluster of flames that burned in the final finale of "Dark Souls", the flame in front of you is like the sun.
'Then, there are several species born from the darkness. '
'They were attracted by the flames and found the king's soul around the fire'
In front of the flames, countless black shadows climbed up from the ground and faced the flames.
'Original Dead: NIT'
In the endless darkness, a huge skeleton appeared and stood up holding a flame in his hand.
'The Witch of Izaris and the Daughter of Chaos'
A woman with an invisible face and a mage hood looked down at the flames in her hands.
'The Sun King Gwen and his legions of knights'
Gwen, who was wearing the crown, also held flames in his hands, but compared to the flames of the witch and Nite, the flames in front of Gwen appeared to be hotter, and behind him were countless armies of knights on standby.
'And dwarves no one has ever seen before'
In the empty place where the flame started, a man who could only see his shadow stood up holding a ball of flame.
And the flame looked so small, as if it would be extinguished if blown by the wind.
'They gained the power of the king's soul and challenged the immortal ancient dragon. '
'Gwen's thunder spear penetrated the rock-hard scales of the immortal ancient dragon. '
'The witch's flames formed a storm and burned the tree to death. '
'Nits unleashed the miasma of death'
'And the scaleless white dragon Hiss betrayed the Immortal Ancient Dragon, causing the Immortal Ancient Dragon to retreat. '
The screen keeps switching.
Gwen's thunder gun, the witch's flame, and Nite's death miasma constantly attack the immortal ancient dragon in the sky.
Finally, the scaleless white dragon Hiss howled on top of the pile of dragon corpses.
'The age of fire has begun, but the fire will eventually extinguish, and then only darkness will remain. '
The huge royal city appeared in the picture, but it disappeared in a flash, replaced by endless darkness.
After a while, a cluster of fire appeared in the darkness, and a pair of hands suddenly appeared to grab the last trace of fire.
'Now, the fire is about to go out, the light cannot shine on the world, and the night continues endlessly. '
In front of the tomb in the desolate valley, a woman kneels there. Players who have played "Dark Soul" can recognize her image at a glance.
This woman is exactly the image of a fire-proof woman.
'A cursed ring of darkness began to appear on the crowd. '
Putting his hand on the knight who had turned into a living corpse, the camera zoomed out and the ring of darkness appeared on the screen.
Then the screen switched and came to a prison.
There are countless living corpses locked up in the prison.
'Yes, the Circle of Darkness represents the curse of immortality. '
'All the undead will be captured, sent north, and imprisoned in cells until the end of the world. '
'This...is also your destiny'
Finally, the mid-shot of the video reaches the innermost cell.
There was an undead man wearing armor. Just from his appearance, he could tell that he was different from the others.
Then he looked up and saw that the skylight was opened and a body was dropped from above.
A knight with a shield on his back whose face could not be seen clearly looked at the undead man in the prison.
Then the scene fades into darkness.
The four big words "Dark Souls" appeared in the middle of the screen, and there was a line of subtitles below: The Age of First Fire.
… … …
With the release of this promotional video, all the players at the exhibition instantly became excited.
Yes, this is what they want!
Although this video is not too long, only about three minutes, it has revealed enough content.
The first is the background of the "Dark Souls" world.
In the previous "Dark Souls", players could only obtain some information through a few words.
In this promotional video, players finally know what the world of Dark Souls is like from the beginning.
At the same time, I also understood the meaning of flames, and could also deduce it from some pictures in the game.
That is, in the two works, the timeline should be very, very long, which can be seen from the performance of the flames.
The first fire in the promotional trailer looks like a huge sun.
But in the final fire ending of the previous game Dark Souls, there was only a small cluster of flames, as if they were about to be extinguished by the wind.
At the same time, combined with the content of the promotional video, many avid Black Soul players also have some more detailed speculations.
That is the beginning of the whole world, existing in the soul, but in disorder.
Because the promotional trailer talks about the differences and tendencies brought about by the initial fire.
This is likely to give the souls to be distinguished according to different properties, allowing the originally disordered souls to aggregate and appear in a certain form.
That is the king's soul, and those creatures who obtained the king's soul from the primordial fire are beings called gods by later generations.
They were the first creatures to receive the baptism of fire and receive orderly souls. Because of the souls they received, they changed their appearance and existence, evolving into new forms.
Then, the first batch of beings to gain soul power launched a war against the ancient dragons representing disorder, for survival, ambition, or other reasons.
In short, the war between Order and Disorder began. In the end, with the help of White Dragon Hiss, the representatives of fire won, and Order replaced Disorder, ushering in the Age of Fire.
From these characters, players can also clearly see the shadow of some related settings.
For example, the White Dragon Hiss is closely related to spells, the Gwen gods are closely related to clergy beliefs, and the witches are related to the power of spells.
As for the dwarf, it also caused many players to discuss it.
Because the promotional film did not mention that the dwarves who obtained the Dark Soul participated in the dragon-hunting war, and although Dark Soul is a fantasy theme, there are no settings such as dwarves or elves.
So what kind of existence are the so-called dwarves, and what is the connection between the dark mark brought by Lundall in the previous game and the dark ring mentioned in the promotional trailer.
These have become questions for many Dark Souls players.
But no matter what, more players express the same meaning: bring the game, take away the wallet, I will buy it to the max!
As the promotional video finished playing, countless players could not restrain their excitement and discussed it one after another.
Players who are interested in the plot are discussing the few words revealed in the promotional video.
Players who are simply interested in killing the boss are even more excited.
See what's mentioned in the game
The Sun King Gwen, the Witch of Izaris, the Daughter of Chaos, and the original dead Nite are all famous beings.
The previous game was the Salary King, but this one directly fights the ancient gods. How exciting it is!
With excitement, the players looked at Chen Xu who stepped onto the stage again.
"As you can see, "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" will bring the battlefield back to the distant ancient times. By then, players will experience a more exciting and fascinating Dark Souls."
"At the same time, I can also reveal some more critical information to you here. The launch time of "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" is tentatively scheduled for early July!"
Following Chen Xu's announcement, a line of dates suddenly appeared on the big screen behind.
This time it wasn't Chen Xu who was fooling.
Because according to the current progress, it is completely enough.
After all, we are not developing it from scratch. We have the framework of the previous game here, and the main thing that takes time and effort is the art resources.
Hearing Chen Xu's words, the players present cheered again.
Obviously being able to get a release date fills them with excitement.
Then, under the expectant eyes of all the players, Chen Xu left the stage after talking about some exhibition scenes, and was replaced by the event host.
Wait, Mr. Chen, did you forget to announce something
The trial session of "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" is here!
Many players looked at Chen Xu who was leaving the stage in confusion, and then looked at the host on the stage who was introducing follow-up activities and content.
This time for Nebula Games, Chen Xu did not really come to participate with just a trailer for the sequel to "Dark Souls".
There is still some content, such as the new version of "Three Kingdoms" and the new national war mode, as well as the new version of "Jelly Bean Man" and various related theme maps.
Of course, there are also some activities specially organized for players, such as playing "Two Players" cooperatively, and then getting some simple figurine toy souvenirs.
There is also the "Dark Soul" challenge, where players can challenge different bosses and monsters. Regardless of whether the challenge is successful or failed, they can also obtain corresponding souvenir toys.
The players here looked at the showgirl and cosplayer performing on the stage and finally determined a fact.
That’s why the so-called “Dark Souls: Age of First Fire” trial does not exist at all!
"Drunk! Chen Xu is lying!"
"Yeah, I thought there would be trial content at the exhibition, but this is just a trailer!"
"Although this trailer revealed a lot, and Chen Xu directly announced the online release date, it really makes me excited, but the trial is promised!"
"That's right! That's right! Isn't this just what you say?"
"Ahem, two brothers, please don't get excited. You are looking at Chen Xu's previous official blog. In fact, there is no mention of the trial at all!"
"Damn it, it's true!"
However, although there is no trial session, which makes many players a little disappointed, this is not a big deal. After all, there are many cases where there is no trial session at the exhibition every year, and only a trailer is released.
Moreover, Chen Xu directly announced the launch date of "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire"!
At least it can give them something to look forward to.
Speaking of which, the activities here are actually quite lively, and the prizes, although not expensive, are quite exquisite, which also makes many players feel that Nebula Games attaches great importance to players.
At the same time, whether it is "Three Kingdoms" or "Fall Bean Man", players can also directly download the test version released at the exhibition to experience the new content.
The operation, which does not require players to queue up like last year, also made many players feel good about it and dispelled some of the disappointment of not being able to receive the trial version of the new Dark Souls before.
In addition to other activities, such as the Dark Soul Challenge event and the tacit cooperation event with "Two for Two", they are also surrounded by many players.
"Old Song, aren't you lining up?" Zhang Yi and Wang Han were queuing up, looking at Song Ren walking towards the other side with some curiosity.
"Nothing, I want to see other games." Song Ren looked at Zhang Yi and Wang Han holding hands, glanced at the "Two People Go Together" experience area in front, and forced a smile.
queue
Do you think he doesn't want to play?
The key is that this person can’t play!
This game has been out for so long, and he has never played it except watching videos!
Especially looking at the scenes of a man and a woman holding hands all around him, Song Ren took a deep breath.
I can’t watch it, I can’t watch it, my blood pressure is getting high.
Play some games to lower your blood pressure.
Looking at the Black Soul Experience Area next to him, Song Ren silently looked away, and then he saw a strange place.
There are four wall-mounted monitors placed in a small corner of the Nebula game exhibition area, and in front of the monitors there are four large water tanks with inflatable hammers inserted in them.
He had noticed it before, but at that time he thought it was the workspace of Nebula Games, but now it seems that it is not!
Out of curiosity, Song Ren walked over.
Could it be that this is something new from Nebula Games
