The release of Dark Souls: Age of First Fire is getting closer and closer.
Related advertisements have also begun to be slowly launched on major websites.
At the same time, warm-up promotion has also begun in the area of overseas target software.
Compared with domestic efforts, overseas efforts are stronger.
Because during this period of July, most game manufacturers are basically not ready to launch new games.
On the one hand, the news was just announced at the previous exhibition, and the development time was somewhat late.
On the other hand, Chen Xu has announced early that "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" will be launched in early July.
As a sequel to an IP game, it was also the sequel to the best role-playing game of the year last year.
When the other party has clearly stated the launch time, basically no game company head is determined to touch it.
Also for players, this period of waiting makes them anxious.
The promotional videos previously shown at the exhibition were repeatedly taken out and watched by players.
Many soul scientists even used this three-minute promotional video to create a three-hour plot and background analysis video based on the various contents of the previous game.
Of course, in addition to these extremely hard-core soul scientists, many ordinary players are also afraid that Chen Xu’s official blog suddenly said a sentence, saying that in order to provide players with a better experience, they decided to skip the ticket.
After all, ticket bounces are quite common in the gaming industry, so these players are also afraid that Nebula Games will come here, even though Nebula Games has never done such a thing before.
But that's also because so far, Nebula Games doesn't have any big games. If I have to talk about it, it's just "Dark Soul" and "Twins".
However, as the countdown to June begins, more advertisements for "Dark Souls" are online, and the price of "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" is also announced. In particular, the corresponding pre-order interface has appeared in the store of the Nebula gaming platform. , many players also took a reassurance.
This time, "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" is cheaper than the previous game's price of 268 yuan, only selling for 198 yuan. In addition, as before, the Nebula game platform enjoys a 20% discount.
As for the overseas version, the price has also dropped a bit to $39.9.
Because of the time difference and related regional policies.
Except for a few regions around the world, which will be delayed by about two days, everything will be online simultaneously.
Time quickly came to the day when the game was unlocked.
Countless old people have already pre-ordered and pre-downloaded the game in advance, waiting for the moment to enter the game.
In community forums and some player chat groups, many waiting Black Soul players are chatting with each other and are full of expectations for the upcoming journey of spreading the fire.
In a certain chat group, a group of people are chatting.
"Lao Song, Lao Zhang, have you finished the game?"
A player whose ID is Lao Song responded: "It must have been downloaded! Is this necessary?"
"You're right, I can't wait any longer." The person below whose ID is Lao Zhang also answered.
Lao Zhang: "By the way, Lao Song, what career will you choose to start?"
Lao Song: "What's the point? He must be a person with nothing. As a qualified fire transmitter, only a person with nothing can embody our technology."
Lao Zhang: "As I thought, why don't we have a competition to see who can progress faster?"
Lao Song: "No problem!"
The chat between Lao Song and Lao Zhang also aroused the enthusiasm of other fire spreaders.
"It's almost, it's almost, there are only five minutes left, you can experience it now!?"
"I wonder if the difficulty of the new "Dark Souls" will be improved?"
"There will definitely be improvement as we improve, but I feel like there shouldn't be any pressure on those of us. After all, we are all qualified fire bearers."
"You're right!"
The chat group was filled with laughter for a while.
But after five minutes, it was as if the Internet was disconnected collectively, and there was no sound at all.
In a certain community in the imperial capital.
Song Ren, who was also the old Song in the previous chat group, clicked on "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire" on the Nebula gaming platform with an expectant look on his face.
The opening CG in front is the same as the CG released at the previous gameplay exhibition.
Obviously Chen Xu is very frugal in this area and follows tradition.
Cut scenes serve as promotional videos, or promotional videos serve as cutscenes.
Although Song Ren had watched it countless times during this period of time, he still watched it again.
As for the game with Lao Zhang, it didn't take much time to watch the animation.
As the cutscene finished playing, Song Ren was still a little nervous looking at the game's UI interface.
After all, this is Dark Soul, and he has suffered a lot in this game before.
And according to the information revealed by Chen Xu before, the difficulty of the new game seems to have increased.
"Isn't it just a sequel! How can it stop us, the Fire Bearer?"
After cheering himself up and chanting a slogan, Song Ren entered the game.
The beginning is still the familiar stage of dark souls pinching faces and choosing a career.
When it comes to pinching faces, Song Ren found a special tip.
[It has been detected that you have a save file of "Dark Soul", would you like to select the previous face-shaping data]
"Hey, this setting is pretty good! You can still use the face that you worked so hard on before!" Song Ren was a little surprised, but then he chose to ignore it and made a face with more personality.
Can the face of the hero who spreads fire be called ugly? That's called personality!
As for professional background, although in the group he pretended to choose to have nothing, now he still silently chooses the knight.
After all, in the previous game, knights were considered the most versatile occupation for land reclamation.
Then the funerary items were gifts, and Song Ren discovered that something was different.
Like the previous game, there are goddess blessings, life rings, and black flame pots.
But there are also many things that have been replaced, such as the twin humanity, the telescope, the old witch's ring, and the master key. These things are not available in the previous game.
For a while, Song Ren didn't know what the use of these things was.
After thinking for a while, Song Ren chose the master key.
As for the Black Flame Pot, it is definitely very useful for fighting bosses in the early stages, but having already passed the previous game, he is still a little confident in his own strength.
And there is another important point, that is, having played the previous game, he knows one of the features of Dark Souls, that is, there are various shortcuts in the map.
But it can only be opened later. Now that he has this master key, is it possible that he can open various shortcuts
Of course, there may be other functions, such as there are good things hidden in a certain room, but a specific key is required and his master key can directly open them, or it may be related to rescuing NPCs imprisoned in the room, such as The thief from the previous game.
Anyway, he felt that this master key should be considered a relatively good and useful thing.
After creating the character, Song Ren clicked to enter the game with anticipation.
Get ready to officially start your own journey of spreading fire.
