Chapter 559 A More Perfect "Dark Soul"!

Chen Mo nodded: "Although it hasn't been completely decided yet... but it may appear in the form of a prequel."

Denise is very excited, obviously this is the most valuable news she has unearthed this time.

"Then may I ask, is there anything you can reveal about the prequel to Dark Souls?"

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 that was set far before the time of Dark Souls itself."

Denise asked, "Much earlier than it was set... how early? Will it tell us about the beginning of the world of Dark Souls?"

Chen Mo said: "Well, in this plot, players will come into contact with many characters from the early days of Dark Souls, including the Sun King Gwen who established the Age of Fire."

"Actually, the research and development plan for this game has already been decided, and it won't take too long, because the overall engine is based on the current engine, and it just needs to add some scenes."

Denise became more and more excited: "Really? So is it a separate release this time, or will it appear in the form of dlc?"

Chen Mo said: "It is sold separately, but this time it is expected that there will be two different versions, including the VR version and the handheld version."

Denise was stunned for a moment: "Handheld version?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes. As for this handheld, it is currently only on sale in China. If you are interested, I can give you one, or bring it back to tgn to have a look. It is expected that this handheld will be available soon. It will be sold abroad."

Chen Mo said and 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 released in Europe and the United States." Denise was very curious to hold the switch box in his hand to observe.

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 will consider delaying the release for a few months. This time The "Dark Souls" prequel and "Dark Souls" main body will be launched on the handheld platform."

Denise was a little surprised: "Is this a little unnecessary? Those who really like "Dark Souls" are hardcore gamers, 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 a player buys the VR version of "Dark Souls", the handheld version of "Dark Souls" will be given away for free. Can't afford a VR game cabin Players of the game 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 understood a little bit about the advantages of the handheld version of Dark Souls.

However, she hasn't opened the box yet, so it's hard to understand what it would be like to play Dark Souls on such a small handheld.

Denise asked, "So, how much will Dark Souls shrink on the console?"

Chen Mo said: "The game content of "Dark Souls" 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 Souls" is experiencing 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 is better or worse."

Denise said excitedly: "So, in the prequel of "Dark Souls", can my favorite whip weapons be strengthened?"

Chen Mo showed a smile: "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 Souls"? Will you reduce the difficulty because of the strong demands of the players?"

Chen Mo chuckled: "I've said it before,

When I was working on Dark Souls, I never thought about the difficulty, because what I wanted to bring to the players was an unexpected feeling, a surprise and joy brought by intentions. "

"About the prequel to Dark Souls... let's just say, it's going to be a more unexpected game. Or it's the real essence of the game Dark Souls, I think in In terms of gameplay, it will surpass the current Dark Souls."

After speaking, Chen Mo showed another meaningful smile.

Denise was very excited: "Okay, I believe that many players can't wait, and I hope the prequel of "Dark Souls" 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 things, he reluctantly left.

"Anyway, about the content of the previous work of "Dark Souls", shouldn't it be the content that needs to be kept secret? Should it be no problem to release it to players now?" Denise asked.

Chen Mo smiled: "No problem, you can let the players look forward to it. By the way, I hope you can play switch and help promote it."

Denise nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave. I hope there will be opportunities for interviews in the future."

Denise walked away happily, her mind full of longing for the "Dark Souls" prequel.

I think other players' expectations for this game should be similar to Denise's, but when he thinks of the difficulty of this game, Chen Mo can't help but smile.

...

During this time, Chen Mo had a lot of things.

At present, the number of employees of Lei Ting Interactive Entertainment has been increased by OnePlus. Not only are there more and more people in the art field, but also the personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of various projects are also increasing. The fourth floor of the experience store is almost completely full. .

At present, Thunder Interactive Entertainment has a lot of work.

On the one hand is the "League of Legends" competition. The domestic league is in full swing, 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, "Overwatch" 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 dominant position 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, and many players temporarily store it after the novelty is over.

However, "Overwatch" is still a popular game and still needs to operate for a long time.

Of course, these contents are maintained by special personnel, and Chen Mo does not need to worry about it, because the game has been roughly finalized.

Chen Mo's current work focuses on two aspects. On the one hand, it is to remake "Dark Souls 1" so that the series of "Dark Souls" can be fully presented in this world; on the other hand It is to make a corresponding promotion around the switch.

So far, the switch has not been released in the European and American markets, and the games on the platform are not particularly popular except for "Odyssey".

And Chen Mo wants to use the popularity of "Dark Soul" to lay the foundation for the switch to open up the European and American markets.

Handheld and VR game cabins are aimed at completely different groups of people, and the biggest advantage of handhelds is that they are cheap.

Like "Dark Souls", the VR version is 1988, and 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 Souls is equally fun.

In addition, the market share of mobile platforms is still expanding. Just like the previous life, more and more manufacturers have put the games on the PC side into the mobile platform after magic modification, and the effect is very good, and the profitability of mobile games is getting stronger and stronger.

For the mobile game platform, Chen Mo has not launched a new game for nearly a year, can I take this opportunity to be happy again?
