In April, the first test of Aurora Games for "League of Legends" has not yet officially started, but the Internet has exploded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The news of this game came out overnight, occupying the front pages of major game forums, and even directly landed on the first place on the new game expectation list.

Naturally, there are some cats in it, and everyone understands this.

On April 10, the official website of Aurora Game League of Legends was officially launched and opened the closed beta reservation channel.

The official website of "League of Legends" is much better than the previous life, but many of the functions of the layout are temporarily vacant.

The links and layouts on these sites will not be improved until the game is officially launched.

However, Aurora Games still released a promotional animation about this game, which finally allowed netizens to see some heroes in advance.

The length of this promotional animation is 8 minutes and 53 seconds, and the entire animation is completed with CG special effects, which also uses face capture technology, Ye Le is no exaggeration to say that the production cost of this kind of promotional film alone is as high as 8.21 million yuan.

Due to the relatively low level and cost of CG technology in this world, this promotional animation has reached at least the same level as the "Warcraft" movies in the previous life in terms of graphics.

And there are some gaps between the content of CG animation and the "League of Legends" promotional film on Earth.

There are a total of 13 scenes in the anime, including the Dark Daughter - Annie, the Hand of Noxus - Darius, the wandering mage - Ruiz,

Eye of the Void, Proud Stalker, Rengar, Monkey King, Monkey King.... and other 23 heroes appear in it.

This promotional animation is really good from the bottom of my heart, and it captures the player's attention and the point they want to see the most.

Even if they aren't fighting, these scenes will give players a glimpse of the other heroes who appear.

For example, Anne stood in the dark shadows, holding her "stuffed teddy bear" and showing an evil smile, or like several heroes fighting, a huge golden hoop stick fell from the sky and plunged straight into the earth, and then an excited voice rushed from the sky: "My old grandson is here!" and so on......

In addition, Aurora Games also held a press conference, the first thing was to announce that Aurora Games will build data centers in 10 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, and Canada, with a total investment of 3.27 billion yuan, which is expected to be officially put into use in two years.

The second is that "League of Legends" is expected to be in global public beta in mid-August this year, and 130 million yuan will be invested in global publicity and promotion.

A lot of the media were stunned on the spot.

, 130 million, what do you want to do in the Aurora game?!

Such a large sum of money is actually only used for promotion, you must know that 130 million is enough to make a film with many popular stars, to be able to produce several average cost online games, and even to save a little to make a stand-alone masterpiece similar to "Assassin's Creed"!

Some people may think that Aurora Games people are stupid and have a lot of money, but in the eyes of industry insiders, this is not the case.

Aurora Games doesn't invest so much money in publicity meaninglessly, so it can only show one thing, that is, Aurora Games is so optimistic about this game that it surpasses its investment in any one game.

So what kind of game thinks Aurora Games spends so much money to promote?

They didn't dare to make up their minds until they saw the original appearance of the game, but the only thing they knew for sure was that the game was very powerful, or that it was of great significance to the Aurora game.

Aurora Games has announced that "League of Legends" will become the performance project of the 4th WCG, and will be directly included in the WCG competition program next year, and the prize money is directly equal to "StarCraft", which has the highest prize money in the competition.

The next day, under the rush and full operation of Aurora Games, the Huaxia E-sports League also publicly announced the list of game projects for all events next year, among which "League of Legends" is impressively listed.

One stone startles a thousand waves!

This is the first time that a game that has not yet been officially closed beta for players has been recognized by these tournaments in advance, and it has been directly set as a competition event.

Players and industry insiders are caught up in a frenzied discussion, and everyone wants to know what this game looks like, and what kind of charm makes Aurora Games willing to make Aurora Games pay so many resources.

In an interview, the game designer of Aurora Games said, "This game is the MOBA game we proposed earlier. Maybe many people want to ask us, isn't a MOBA game just a game like "Brawl Three Kingdoms"?

"Actually, I don't want to judge a game as good or bad, as long as it brings people joy, it's a good game. But if I had to answer the question, I would say that it doesn't deserve to be compared to us!

”

"I can't say more about the details due to the non-disclosure agreement, but I hope you continue to look forward to the game League of Legends. I vouch for my personality that this game will not disappoint you. ”

........

"Aurora Games, are they really invincible? I actually said that my "Brawl Three Kingdoms" is not worthy of being a rival to them. ”

In one of Penguin's offices, Zhou Kai smashed his mobile phone in a fit of rage.

Just now he saw a lot of news about the new Aurora game on the Internet, and he clicked in without hesitation with three points of curiosity and seven points of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, but he didn't expect Aurora Games to be "ashamed" that "Brawl Three Kingdoms" is not worthy of being compared with them.

This made him, as the chief game designer of "Brawl Three Kingdoms", mad, and then threw the mobile phone next to the mouse to the ground and stepped on it a few times in anger to vent his emotions.

Coincidentally, Wang Yingjun took a stack of materials and pushed open the door of Zhou Kai's office.

"What's the matter, why are you throwing a tantrum at your phone? I just bought a phone last week, it's a pity..."

"Hmph, the Aurora game is simply unmanned. Their game designers actually didn't think much of our Brawl Three Kingdoms and said that we were not an orthodox MOBA game. ”

"Haha, I thought it was something that made you angry like this. Our company said don't bother with the Aurora game, as long as we can make money, then it's okay!"

Zhou Kai finally calmed down, but there was a trace of disdain in the depths of his eyes.

After getting along for a period of time, Zhou Kai found that Wang Yingjun and Penguin Games were simply a natural family, everything was based on monetary interests, and they didn't really make games because they loved games.

All day long, I know how to engage in game activities and how to design them to attract players to spend.

As for adding more game content to "Brawl Three Kingdoms", it all fell on his shoulders alone, and the reason why he was most dissatisfied was because he contributed the most to this game, and his monthly salary and bonus were actually lower than Wang Yingjun!
