The message posted on the official blogs of Chen Xu and Nebula Games is very simple.
It's just a character concept drawing.
It's just that the character in this concept map is not an ordinary human but a dragon.
It has four legs and two wings, and its head has huge white horns extending to both sides. Its body is extremely large and densely covered with thorns that are full of intimidation and lethality, making people shudder. The huge wings on the back cover the shoulders and overlap, and the dark black and dark purple scales make this evil dragon look violent.
The whole look is very domineering and full of oppression.
Below this picture, Chen Xu also posted a text describing the creature.
'Nergigant: A large ancient dragon monster with countless sharp black spikes growing from its body and very thick and strong horns. It is characterized by an extremely strong desire to attack and a ferocious and violent character. It is an ancient dragon with overwhelming power. . '
'In addition, Nergigante has a super regenerative ability, so in order to continue to maintain its regeneration ability, Nergigant needs a lot of energy. For this reason, Nergigant pursues preying on monsters that contain high-purity energy, but in fact, all creatures It is the prey of the Nergigante. Based on this situation, there were rumors of the "Ancient Dragon that Destroyed Everything", so it was also called the "Nergigant Dragon".
Under the official blog, many players were stunned.
Because generally speaking, shouldn’t the promotion target of a game be the protagonist in the game
Why is this a dragon
Could it be that in the new game, players will play this being called Nergigante
If you look at the introduction of this Nergigante, is it possible that this game controls this monster called Nergigante to hunt various creatures everywhere
Big fish eat small fish
what's the situation
Looking at the official blog released by Chen Xu, many players were a little confused.
"What's going on? What exactly is Chen Xu's new game? Here's a concept drawing of the original painting. You can't guess it at all!"
"Look, let me tell you! Mr. Chen is getting better and better at fooling people now! There used to be a promotional trailer for the gameplay exhibition, but now he just sent us a concept drawing!"
“It’s time to bring out that meme again!”
"Brother upstairs, Mr. Chen has too many emoticons. Are you talking about this one (warm heart, warrior of love.jpg), or this one? (Pass the Fire?.jpg) or this one ? (It’s being worked on and will be released soon.jpg).”
"23333333, Mr. Chen has too many jokes!"
"I suspect that Mr. Chen is fooling us again as before. In fact, the folder has not even been created!"
"I have a bold but not necessarily correct guess. Is it possible that the new game will be the Souls series? It tells the story before Chuanhuo. After all, Gwen and the Witch defeated the ancient dragon, but they had no idea how to defeat it. And this Destroyer The dragon is probably one of the ancient dragons, and in the new work we will control the ancient dragon to fight against Gwen, Nite, and the witch at their peak."
"Brother, your guess is too bold, and it is definitely wrong! Didn't you notice? The painting style of this dragon is completely different from that of the Black Souls series! The art style of Black Souls is biased towards the European and American magical realism style, but this destruction Dragon's End is obviously a fantasy-realistic style with oriental characteristics, so it's definitely not from the Dark Souls series!"
As Chen Xu's official blog was released, many players made various speculations.
But Chen Xu soon released the second concept image of the original painting.
The content is very simple. It's still the same Nergigante as before, but this time there's an extra human in the same scene.
That was a hunter holding a sword that was longer than a man, wearing a suit of armor and confronting the Nergigante.
At the same time, in this original concept map, players finally understood the name of its new game "Monster Hunter: World".
With the release of this second original concept map, it obviously brings more content and allows more players to participate in the discussion.
"Monster Hunter? What the hell is this a hunting game!?"
"Wait! Hunting game? Does this mean that this guy named Nergigante will be the target of our hunting in the game!?"
"It can't really be a soul-based game, right?"
"I feel very complicated right now!"
"Does it mean from spreading fire? To hunting?"
"The first original concept picture shows a dragon, and the hunter appears in the second picture. Do you think this is a hint? It implies that the dragon is the protagonist, and the hunter we play is the prey?"
"I think it's possible. Look at the title of the game. Do you think it's possible to understand it this way? "Monster (noun) Hunter (verb) People (noun)"
"Damn it, God can understand Monster Hunter like this, but he has to tell his true image!"
When many players saw this second concept painting, the image of suffering suddenly emerged in their minds.
Especially the white dragon Hiss, the unknown king riding a dragon and the black dragon Keramet in the previous game.
Many players think that this is not a Souls game, right
After all, the previous large-scale games of Nebula Games were only two "Dark Souls"!
Many players online are a little excited and a little scared about this.
After all, this black soul really impressed them too deeply.
Including the big brother of Chuanhuo? This sentence has become a meme.
Of course, there are more TikTok players, and at this time they are cheering to please, although it is no longer a story about spreading fire.
But isn’t it the same with hunting
"It's coming, it's coming, the soul game is coming!"
"It's finally here. Do you know how I spent this year? If I'm not abused, I won't feel comfortable!"
"I can't wait for it. I heard that it also uses the latest AI technology from Nebula Games!"
"It's just that the previous 'death mode' felt like there was a little progress, but there was no difference?"
Many players are very excited.
But at this time, what surprised many people was that Chen Xu posted another official blog.
'I also understand the enthusiasm of online players, but what I want to say here is that "Monster Hunter: World" is not a soul-based game, it is a pure hunting and fighting game. '
'The main gameplay of the game is to use a variety of weapons, travel through the jungle to hunt dragon creatures with your fellow hunters, collect materials from them to build better weapons and armor, and uncover the final truth about the ancient dragon. . '
'So again, "Monster Hunter: World" is not a so-called soul-based game, so players who are looking forward to experiencing the feeling of a soul-based game may be disappointed. '
In Nebula Games, Chen Xu looked at various comments on the Internet and sent an official blog to explain.
Regarding the discussion of online players, it is still necessary to make a statement.
After all, as a designer who is passionate and caring about players, he must solve the misunderstandings of players!
Players who think that "Monster Hunter: World" is a Souls-based game will be disappointed when they find out after entering that it is completely different from what they thought!
