A week later.

Chengdu, Orange Elephant Game.

It was 3 a.m. in the second half of the night, but the company was still brightly lit.

The last level is about to be overcome, and tomorrow it will be officially closed beta, and "Glory of Kings" is about to be released!

Li Zhifan, who was far away in the capital, did not rest, and kept remote video with Chen Cheng here.

"The release of this game is bound to cause an uproar around the world!"

Li Zhifan is full of confidence, "As long as the review is passed, we will hold a press conference immediately!"

"Yes, Mr. Li!" Chen Cheng just replied indifferently, but he didn't think that this game could really set off a revolution in the game industry and tear down the barriers in the mobile game industry as Li Zhifan said.

Because even such a popular game as "Wolf Warrior" has not been transplanted to mobile games, how can a newly released MOBA game do it?

Li Zhifan has this self-confidence, which is nothing more than two points.

The first is the game itself, which is simple and straightforward, with multiple modes, suitable for all ages.

What the mobile game market wants is convenience, you can play two hands anytime and anywhere with your mobile phone, plus the picture as much as possible, the operation is convenient, and the gameplay is diverse, so that players are cool, and the game will definitely explode.

Secondly, there is the source of registered users.

Li Zhifan contacted the tripartite cooperation, one is the reading platform, the other is the Kuaibo platform, and finally the Coco platform.

You can log in directly with a third-party account, but the third-party accounts are not interoperable, they are all independent accounts, and they are also different regional servers in the game, and the servers are different.

Although these three cannot be played together, and if you want to play with friends, you can only play on a platform and regional server, but for Orange Elephant, it can greatly increase the number of users.

Interoperability technology is not a difficult task, and as long as it is in a server, it can be operated, but it is more profitable to be separated, compared to the original "Wolf Warrior" mobile game version, this piece is invisibly superimposed on the number of users.

Whether it is a mobile game or other application software, when the number of users increases, or even explodes, it will inevitably attract more players to play this game.

At present, the Reader, Kuaibo and Coco platforms all account for shares in the game project "Glory of Kings", and Li Zhifan took the initiative to give it, 5% per person.

After all, the lifespan of a game is limited, it can be played for three or five years, but it is difficult to last for ten or twenty years.

When the benefits are maximized, he makes money, and when the situation is low, Li Zhifan can directly find a large game company to take over, and then take the money to develop the next mobile game.

As far as the current performance of the "Wolf Warrior" mobile game is concerned, it has begun to decline, the number of daily registrations has been falling, the number of daily online users has also been falling, and the number of daily installations has also been falling.

Although it still maintains the first place in the mobile game version, one day, it will fall to the bottom of the list.

And in its place, it is this revolutionary mobile game - "Glory of Kings".

Elementary school students, it's mine!

Middle school students, too, mine!

Young white-collar workers, unemployed vagrants, all mine!

……

Another week later.

The beta version of "Honor of Kings" has passed the review of various departments.

Orange Elephant immediately set about holding a new game launch conference.

The meal should be eaten bite by bite, and the layout can be done slowly, but the speed of the mobile game is urgent.

On the eve of the new game press conference, a number of e-sports media tweeted to warm up for this new game:

"[Hulu Game Evaluation]: "Glory of Kings" is a MOBA mobile game, which is different from the traditional DOTA games on the PC side, but innovates the MOBA genre, the full name: multiplayer online tactical competitive game. "Honor of Kings" has created a 5v5 King's Canyon and Smash Bros. mode, 10 people online confrontation, mutual fighting operation skills and team cooperation, pushing towers, replenishing troops, five kills, and team battles can be experienced. Players can compete in three ways in the King's Canyon, and they can also fight the jungle and capture the dragon. In addition, the battlefield of "Honor of Kings" is on the mobile phone, which allows players to open a black team at any time as long as they want to fight, making competitive battles more convenient and faster. ”

[Youmi.com Evaluation]: As a hero battle game on the mobile phone, "Honor of Kings" has both multiplayer real-time competition 5V5, 3V3 and 1V1 modes, which can meet the needs of different players - among them, the 5V5 battle is similar to the DOTA game method, but it is very different, carrying 10 players to fight together and cooperate. Honor of Kings has many heroes, each with its own characteristics, and a big battle is inevitable when players manipulate the heroes to gather together. ”

"[Netstar Game Evaluation]: The game "Honor of Kings" feels smooth, simple and easy to use, and the feeling of the picture is also very good, and more importantly, basically all heroes can be bought with gold coins, not all for RMB. The game's sense of rhythm and control is a highlight. The disadvantage is that mobile heroes are very difficult to control, and it plays like a fighting game, which requires more practice and a smooth mobile phone to have better technology to control. ”

“……”

In fact, "MOBA games" are a branch of "DOTA" games.

In another world, although the term MOBA is widely used in Dota-like games, as a derivative of Dota-like, it does not classify Dota games well and distinguish them from other multiplayer online games.

For example, games such as CS and CF, according to the definition of MOBA, can also be in MOBA games.

However, it is obviously different from DOTA-like games, so players who strictly distinguish game concepts and respect the history of game development have always resisted MOBA as a generic term for DOTA-like games.

In the LOL implementation stage, Riot has always claimed to be a MOBA-like game, when LOL swept the world, Riot in order to cover up and eliminate the huge impact of DOTA, hoping to get rid of the name of "copycat", decided to launch a name different from DOTA-like, so as to achieve the purpose of fighting against DOTA, so the term "MOBA game" was born.

When LOL first began to enter China, in order to attract popularity, DOTA was still used in the level option for newbies to register an account, until the number of LOL players had surpassed DOTA, and there was no need to rely on DOTA's fame, and MOBA was used, which established the scope of MOBA games.

"Glory of Kings" is a mobile game that ports the terminal game LOL, and its popularity has determined the independence of MOBA, from the original intentional misuse, to correct use, just like a lot of idioms, such as "groundless", at the beginning of some abuse, there was ambiguity and controversy, but there are more people who use it, what is controversial and ambiguous, and it has become a joke.

The game companies in this world still have a bottom line.

There are a lot of DOTA games, but none of them stand up and claim to be independent MOBA games.

But Li Zhifan opened this head, although it is a bad head, but it must be opened, otherwise how can he flaunt the eclecticism of his game?

……

These reviews did not cause any waves on a large scale.

Even among esports circles and gamers, it didn't cause much heat.

Also, new games are released every day, and games are taken offline every day, so how can "Honor of Kings" attract high attention from players with only a few reviews?

If you add the names of Orange Elephant Games and Li Zhifan, this news will definitely be popular.

But it didn't.

Because of this heavy news, it will be put on the day of the press conference.

June 18th.

Shenzhen.

Jiuzhou International Hotel.

The Orange Elephant New Tour Release Conference was held on time at 2 p.m.

There are many domestic e-sports media that have received invitations, including many self-media users, but the scope has received invitations.

Outside the hotel, from the roof to the middle waist, there are advertising banners hanging vertically, on which there are five people, the leader is Li Zhifan, and the back four are well-known god-level professional players who play DOTA games in the e-sports circle, including many anchors with an annual salary of tens of millions.

And the background picture is "Glory of Kings", with the four big characters of "Glory of Kings" on the top of the head, which is particularly conspicuous.

Many media friends who were present knew that this game was really related to Li Zhifan.

As for whether he endorses or develops it, it only starts when he participates in the press conference.

In fact, when I first received the invitation from the orange elephant, many people guessed it.

However, Li Zhifan is an entertainment figure after all, and took the lead in planning and developing "Wolf Warrior", also because it is related to his movie, and there is a suspicion of plagiarizing foreign chicken games, although there are many innovations, but the industry generally does not recognize Li Zhifan as the creator of this game, but regards the R&D officer of the "Wolf Warrior" game as the creator.

Whether there will be anything different this time, everyone can only wait and see.

Two o'clock.

The press conference begins.

Li Zhifan himself served as the host.

This is different from the general press conference of new songs and new movies, similar to the mobile phone press conference.

Li Zhifan came directly to the stage and greeted everyone: "Hello, all the media friends on the scene, hello everyone!"

There was applause, no shouting, and then the collective silence.

"It's very rare, please come to the scene and participate in our new game press conference!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "In the past few years, there have been many new games launched almost every month, and games have been offline every week. ”

"For general game manufacturers, if they can't continue to produce new games that can seize the market in a short period of time, that's tantamount to waiting for death, so only many big game manufacturers can cast a wide net and catch more fish, no matter whether it's a good game or a bad game, let it out, and the one that can catch the user group and survive is the best game. ”

Quite a few people laughed every day.

Of course, Orange Elephant can't do this, and it may be very difficult to develop a game a year, but "Wolf Warrior" has made countless money whether it is a terminal game or a mobile game, which also gives Orange Elephant the motivation to launch a new game this year.

It's just that whether you can make a game that is recognized by the market depends on the fate of this game, and it doesn't just have to be a big hit as long as you hang the brands of Orange Elephant and Li Zhifan.

"No more nonsense!"

Li Zhifan directly cut to the topic, "Today, we have a new MOBA mobile game released, what is MOBA? It is a multiplayer online tactical competitive game, the name of this game is called "Glory of Kings"!"

As soon as the words fell, the big screen behind him immediately lit up, and the four big characters of Glory of Kings appeared.

This is just a poster.,It's not a game animation.,When people arrive.,I'll play the game CG promotional animation for everyone.。

The media below began to take pictures frantically, Li Zhifan posed a few poses, waiting for everyone to shoot almost, and continued: "Next, I will show you the CG animation promotional video of "Glory of Kings", the production may not be as good as the game, please forgive me!"

Li Zhifan said so, and many people also thought so.

But when the CG animation came out, everyone was stunned.

I'll rub it, this special effect and picture sense are simply blockbuster visual sense!

What's wrong?

But many people immediately think - they are shabu!

Who is Li Zhifan?

Winner of the Oscar for Best Film, and it was won by virtue of a cartoon, can the animation he made be good?

This "Glory of Kings" CG animation promotional film, of course, also copied the original cartoon, but it is not the original version, and Li Zhifan did find the special effects team of Dream Factory, carefully studied and polished this short film.

Among them, many of the dubbing are Li Zhifan himself, and the others are also the best first-line voice actors in China, which is by no means shoddy.

Quite a few people laughed every day.

Of course, Orange Elephant can't do this, and it may be very difficult to develop a game a year, but "Wolf Warrior" has made countless money whether it is a terminal game or a mobile game, which also gives Orange Elephant the motivation to launch a new game this year.
