After watching this CG, everyone understood why this topic became a trending topic in seconds and couldn't be taken down at all.
Seven years worth of emotions, are you scared?
Thunderbolt Movie Studio's best CG so far, are you scared?
Chen Mo's first true MMORPG, are you scared?
Chen Mo didn't even need to post this CG, all he had to do was announce the name World of Warcraft and the fans would go crazy.
Moreover, it wasn't a RTS game this time, but a real MMORPG. Chen Mo would definitely use the best resources and the best production team in Thunderbolt Entertainment to provide the players with the best next-generation VR experience.
Some people might be confused, Warcraft was a game from seven years ago, Chen Mo was still a nobody at that time. Where did he get so many Azeroth fans?
Don't forget that Chen Mo never stopped promoting Azeroth.
Not to mention how influential Warcraft was in the past, even the AI team used it as a stage to test Origin. Most importantly, Chen Mo would add a bit of Azeroth material into Oasis every once in a while.
Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Ironforge, Undercity …
These were the main cities of different races, the NPCs in the cities, and some landmarks. The world structure was almost complete, and the number of fans in Azeroth continued to increase.
For the players of Thunderbolt Entertainment, Oasis was a very easy game to obtain. Anyone with a gaming pod would have entered Stormwind City and Orgrimmar and experienced the majestic world of Azeroth.
Everyone knew that Chen Mo would make the world of Azeroth into a large scale game. It might be an online game, or it might be a 3A game. But no matter what, it would be one of the best in Thunderbolt Entertainment. This could be seen from how Chen Mo had been promoting it for so many years.
And now, seeing the name of the game, it was clear that it was an MMORPG.
Moreover, Chen Mo's Weibo post wasn't just a simple sentence, it was a very sincere promotional CG.
Not only did this promotional CG surpass all the other promotional videos Chen Mo had released in terms of quality, it was obvious that it was expensive. More importantly, it was the best in terms of content.
Even every frame, every shot, and every narration had its own meaning.
The entire CG was very short, only about three minutes. It only described one thing, which was the awakening of the Lich King.
He awoke from the Ice Throne, awakened Sindagosa, and led his undead army to conquer the world.
However, the amount of information contained in it was huge.
Many game promotional CGs used the method of movies, using many shots to put together a lot of exciting scenes, but for the narrative of the story, there was no real meaning.
Chen Mo had done a lot of similar CGs, but it was obvious that World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King's CGs went back to the tradition of Warcraft and focused on telling a good story.
Ironically, Arthas heard the old king's words when he woke up, and everything he did was the complete opposite of the old king's teachings.
The old king said, "I am proud to see you become the embodiment of justice."
Arthas became the most evil existence in all of Azeroth.
The old king said, "I trust that you will use your great power carefully."
But at this time, Arthas was using his great power to summon an undead army, creating tragedy after tragedy for Azeroth.
The old king said, "The true victory is to inspire the fighting spirit of your people."
Arthas did indeed inspire the fighting spirit of his people, but through his evil undead magic, he turned them into mindless killing machines.
The old king said, "One day, my life will come to an end, and you will be crowned King."
Arthas was indeed crowned King. He personally wore the helmet that symbolized the power of the Lich King on his head.
However, he wasn't the King of Lordaeron, but the Lich King.
This cinematic perfectly showcased Arthas, the best villain in all of Azeroth. Although it was only three minutes, it immediately reminded the players of Warcraft's Reign of Chaos and the Frozen Throne.
It could be said that the plot that had been delayed for seven years was about to reach its climax after this cinematic.
What kind of male idols, singers, and dramas could compete with this monster on trending?
Moreover, Azeroth's influence wasn't just limited to China. Players all over the world were excited when they heard about it!
Many hardcore Warcraft players in Europe and the US couldn't help but tear up when they saw the English version of the video!
"Seven years! Do you know how I've spent the past seven years? I've been waiting for the world of Azeroth, and now it's finally here!! "
"It's not Azeroth, it's World of Warcraft!"
"Chen Mo finally remembered the hole he dug. It took him seven years! Now it's time to fill it in! "
"He's waiting for the next generation of VR technology to mature before he creates a real Azeroth. No wonder he didn't do it before!"
"This cinematic is so awesome, so exciting. It reminds me of the Warcraft cinematic. The prince returning to Lordaeron to kill his father, Medivh turning into a crow, Illidan summoning the Naga Sirens … It's all so vivid in my mind!"
"Looks like the story of the Lich King is coming to an end? But I'm a bit worried. The Lich King is already so awesome, all he has to do is attack. How are we supposed to fight him? "
"I really want to complain. It's only been four years since the idiot sat on the Frozen Throne in the game, but it's been seven years in real life! We're worse off than the idiot on the throne! "
"Lordaeron's champion has returned with a filial son! Everyone, please step back a little! "
"I just want to know, if I kill the Lich King, will I get a drop of Frostmourne?"
The topic of World of Warcraft instantly exploded. The reputation that Chen Mo had built up over the years and the fan base that he had built up for Azeroth made this game the hottest topic in the entire gaming industry as soon as it was announced.
However, even though the players were excited, they still paid attention to the condition that Chen Mo mentioned on Weibo.
