"This game will be released if the Matrix gaming pod exceeds twenty million sales."
Chen Mo's new Weibo was as simple as ever, without a single extra word.
The main body of the Weibo was only two sentences, but it was obvious that the cinematics at the bottom was the main content.
As soon as Chen Mo posted on Weibo, the players were all commenting and reposting it. At this point in time, they weren't paying attention to the cinematics.
However, the gamers had different reactions when they watched the video after reposting it.
Some almost fell off their chairs.
Some screamed, more excited than when they saw their favorite team.
Some had tears streaming down their cheeks, some even hugged their friends and cried.
Some even ran out of the house, running laps around their neighborhood.
Everyone had different reactions, but not a single one wasn't excited.
Some of the newer players might be confused, what's going on?
The reply with the most likes on this Weibo post was very simple. It was only three words, but it had received more than 10,000 likes.
"It's been seven years!!!"
…
…
When the familiar Thunderbolt Entertainment logo appeared on the screen, most of the players didn't realize what kind of trailer it was, thinking it was just a normal trailer for Chen Mo's next game.
However, when the logo faded away and the Lich King Arthas appeared on the screen, all the players' calmness immediately turned into ecstasy. They even rubbed their eyes in disbelief to make sure that they were not seeing things before they burst into excited cheers!
Even after the release of I Am MT and the World of Azeroth, most people didn't think it would become an iconic IP that could conquer the world. Instead, they thought that whether it was an anime or a mobile game, it was just a new way to make money.
Indeed, most video game companies were trying to learn from I Am MT's business model. Even if there were a few that tried to copy World of Azeroth's work, they were quickly stopped in their tracks.
For these game companies, learning from I Am MT's classic pay-to-win mobile game model gave many mobile game designers a chance to turn their fortunes around. It also allowed the mobile game market to grow by leaps and bounds, and even started to squeeze the living space of PC games.
It wasn't until Warcraft was released that people realized that Chen Mo and Thunderbolt Entertainment weren't satisfied with casual games, nor were they satisfied with mobile games that could make money.
This unprecedented RTS game achieved impressive results in the PC market at that time, spreading Thunderbolt Entertainment's name overseas. The game's design also provided a lot of ideas for future PC games, such as the design of the ladder to the top.
The story of Warcraft perfectly showcased the World of Azeroth. No one had any doubts that if Chen Mo was willing to work hard on this IP, it would definitely be a part of the history of video games.
At the end of the cinematic of Warcraft: The Frozen Throne, Arthas, who had defeated Illidan and his allies, began to climb the throne alone. Frostmourne was around his waist, and his black cloak fluttered behind him. His white hair was very eye-catching.
That lonely figure, just like when he entered Lordaeron Kingdom and killed his father.
Anubalak and the other loyal soldiers of the Scourge continued to slaughter the defeated enemies outside the throne. Arthas no longer cared about any of this. He climbed to the top of the Ice Throne and obeyed Ner 'zhul's orders. He shattered the ice on the throne and picked up the Ice Crown that had fallen to the ground.
To crown himself as king.
After that, Arthas fell into a long slumber.
He sat on the throne, holding Frostmourne tightly in his right hand. His eyes were closed, and he remained in this position without moving. The snowstorm made the layer of ice on his body thicker and thicker, to the point that he was about to become one with the Frozen Throne.
As the background music played, the camera zoomed out, and the story of the Frozen Throne slowly came to an end.
If there wasn't a new cinematic, this story could probably be answered on the Q&A forums, "What stories are there that seem to be at the beginning, but are actually at the peak?"
The players all thought that Chen Mo would continue the success of Warcraft, and continue to bring the World of Azeroth to greater heights. As long as they waited patiently, there would be a sequel.
But this wait lasted for seven years.
Over the years, Chen Mo had made Minecraft, League of Legends, Dark Souls, USA Apocalypse, The Legend of Zelda, GTA, and other internationally recognized masterpieces. However, no matter how the players and reporters asked him about the World of Azeroth, Chen Mo always maintained a mysterious smile, even making people think he was ready to give up on this world famous IP.
In these seven years, the development of the video game industry was like a rocket, moving from the VR era to the next generation of VR.
Seven years later, the World of Azeroth descended once again.
However, there was something that the players were talking about. Even in the world of Azeroth, only four years had passed since the Lich King sat on the Frozen Throne and awakened. This was three years earlier than the real world.
The World of Azeroth didn't introduce the story after the Lich King's awakening, but the events before the Lich King's awakening were described.
"When Arthas put on the helmet, he fell into a four year long sleep."
"A clone of his sanity and humanity was split from his soul, a young Arthas. As long as this child was alive, there was still hope against the power of evil."
"But after many battles, Arthas gave in, gave in to the darkness in his heart. He personally destroyed the incarnation of his humanity, piercing his chest with Frostmourne. "
"In that instant, all of Arthas' regret, weakness, introspection, and doubt were wiped out. The once powerful power of the Holy Light was also swept away."
"He completely abandoned everything in the past and became a cold and merciless demon."
"Ner 'zhul's soul was ecstatic, and he declared that Arthas would become the Lich King with him."
"However, Arthas' sword once again pierced through Ner 'zhul's soul, saying,' Not us. No one can tell me what to do. Now, this power belongs only to me. I am the Lich King, and I am ready. '"
"Arthas devoured Ner 'zhul's soul, stole his power, and became the Lich King himself, waking up from the Frozen Throne."
"The fragment of his humanity became an illusion in the land of Noscent, guiding the passing adventurers to explore the truth."
After four years of sleep, in the new trailer, the Lich King's eyes glowed blue under his helmet, and the ice on his body began to crack.
