Chen Mo nodded: "Although it hasn't been completely decided yet...... However, it may be in the form of a prequel. ”

Denise was thrilled, and it was clear that this was the most valuable piece of news she'd unearthed this time.

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

Chen Mo said, "Hmm...... The background of the story has been finalized, but I can't reveal too much now, only to reveal that this is a story set long before the time setting of "Dark Souls" itself. ”

Denise asked, "It's much earlier than its own time setting...... How early is it? Will you 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 Gwen, the Sun King who established the Age of Fire. ”

"In fact, the R&D plan for this work has already been decided, and it won't take too long, because the overall engine is based on the current engine, but it just needs to add some more scenes."

The more Denise listened, the more excited she became: "Really? So will it be released separately this time, or will it come as 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." Regarding this handheld machine, in fact, it is only on sale in China at present. If you are interested, I can send you one, or you can bring it back to TGN to take a look, and it is expected that this handheld will be sold abroad soon. ”

Chen Mo said and stood up, brought a brand new Sitch from the side, and handed it to Denise.

"This is a brand new handheld? Oh, I'm a little impressed, but it doesn't seem to be available in Europe and the United States. Denise was very curious and held Sitch's box in her hand to observe.

Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, because I have been busy with the research and development of "Dark Souls" before, I am in a hurry, and there are not too many games on it, so I consider postponing the release a few months a little." This time, both the Dark Souls prequel and the Dark Souls game will be available on the handheld platform. ”

Denise was a little surprised: "Isn't this a bit of an overkill?" The people who really love Dark Souls are hardcore gamers, and they definitely prefer to play in the game pod. ”

Chen Mo smiled: "It's different. The current pricing strategy is that if a player buys the VR version of Dark Souls, they will give away the handheld version of Dark Souls for free. Players who can't afford the VR game pod can also buy the sitch version directly, and it will be very cheap, only 98 soft girl coins, which is equivalent to about 16 US dollars, which is less than 1/20 of the VR version. ”

Denise nodded, and after hearing the price, she slightly understood the advantages of the handheld version of Dark Souls.

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

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

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, there will definitely be some changes in the experience of the handheld version of Dark Souls. ”

"But I think the handheld version is two different gaming experiences compared to the VR version, and it's hard to arbitrarily say which is better or worse."

Denise said excitedly, "So, in the prequel to Dark Souls, can my favorite whip weapon be strengthened?" ”

Chen Mo showed a smiling expression: "Like I said before, you can turn off the damage display." ”

Denise: "......"

Obviously, it was impossible for Chen Mo to strengthen the damage of whip weapons......

Dennis thought for a moment and asked, "There is another very crucial question, how difficult is the prequel to Dark Souls?" Will you lower the difficulty just because the players want it? ”

Chen Mo smiled: "I have already said before, when I was working on "Dark Souls", I never thought about the difficulty, because what I want to bring to players is an unexpected feeling, and I want to give them a kind of surprise and happiness brought by intentions. ”

"About the prequel to Dark Souls...... Let's just say it's going to be an even more unexpected game. Or maybe it's the true essence of Dark Souls, and I think it's going to surpass the current Dark Souls in terms of gameplay. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Mo showed a meaningful smile again.

Denise was very excited: "Okay, I'm sure many players can't wait, and I hope that the Dark Souls prequel can be made as soon as possible!" ”

Denise chatted with Chen Mo about some content again, and the reporter from across the ocean was obviously surprised by everything in the experience store, and after asking a lot of content, he reluctantly said goodbye.

"In short, the content of the previous work of "Dark Souls" should not be something that needs to be kept secret, right? It should be fine to release it to players now, right? Denise asked.

Chen Mo smiled: "No problem, you can make the players look forward to it, and by the way, I hope you can play Sitch and help promote it." ”

Denise nodded: "Okay, then I'll take my leave, I hope there will be an interview in the future." ”

Denise happily walks away, her mind full of longing for the prequel to Dark Souls.

Thinking that other players' expectations for this work should be similar to Denise, but when he thought of the difficulty of this game, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

……

There were a lot of things going on in Chen Mo during this time.

At present, the number of employees of Thunder Interactive Entertainment has increased again and again, not only more and more people in the art field, but also more and more personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of various projects, and the workstations on the fourth floor of the experience store are almost full.

At present, there are many jobs in Thunder Mutual Entertainment.

On the one hand, there are the League of Legends events. The domestic league is in full swing and getting hotter, and the time for the second World Championship is gradually approaching, and 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 reached the same dominance as "League of Legends", mainly because of the characteristics of this game.

Because the depth of Overwatch's gameplay isn't too good, it's hard to keep the popularity up, and many players have temporarily sealed it after the novelty has passed.

However, Overwatch is still a popular game and still needs to be operated for a long time.

Of course, there is a special person responsible for the maintenance of these contents, and Chen Mo does not need to worry about it, because the game has been largely finalized.

Chen Mo's current work focuses on two aspects, on the one hand, he is to remake "Dark Souls 1", so that the series of "Dark Souls" can be completely presented to this world; On the other hand, it is to promote Sitch accordingly.

So far, Sitch has not been released in the European and American markets, and there are no particularly popular games on the platform other than Odyssey.

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

Handhelds and VR game pods are aimed at completely different groups of people, and the biggest advantage of handheld is actually cheapness.

For example, in the game Dark Souls, the VR version is 1988, while the handheld version can be purchased for only 98.

The difference between the two devices in terms of experience is mainly in the gap in immersion, and simply looking at the gameplay and content of the game, the handheld version of "Dark Souls" is also just as fun.

In addition, the market share of mobile platforms is still expanding. Just like in previous lives, more and more manufacturers are putting the game on the mobile platform after the game on the PC side, 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 he take this opportunity to have another happy wave of leeks?
