Under the hype of Thousand Hells' release, another piece of news started to spread in the gaming media circle.
Chen Mo was going to have a game conference, and invited all video game media to attend.
Although there wasn't much information about Chen Mo's new game, many video game media professionals were able to find some clues.
It might be a VR game that had been in development for seven months.
They didn't know anything else.
Many of the gaming media sensed something unusual in this news.
If it was a VR game, that would mean that it would be Chen Mo's first VR game. This was very significant.
Chen Mo was only a B-grade videogame designer when he entered the PC market with Warcraft. Warcraft was a huge success after its release, sweeping the entire RTS video game industry and even sold overseas.
Everyone was curious what kind of game Chen Mo's first VR game would be.
Moreover, this timing was very sensitive as it happened to clash with Yan Zhenyuan's Thousand Hells.
Based on the timing, it was highly likely that the two games would be released at the same time in July to August.
Why did Chen Mo choose this timing?
Obviously, Chen Mo knew that Thousand Hells would affect the sales of his game, but he didn't plan on delaying it. This was obviously a direct confrontation with Thousand Hells.
The video game media were all discussing this.
"Did you know that Chen Mo is going to have a game conference?"
"Of course I did, I've been notified a while ago. It seems like most video game media have been notified. Our editor has already asked me to prepare the questions. "
"What do you think Chen Mo is trying to do? Fight to the death with Emperor Dynasty Entertainment? Releasing both games at the same time, he's pretty ambitious! "
"Thousand Hells seems to be copying Diablo, of course he wouldn't be happy about it. Don't you know Chen Mo's personality? When has he ever backed down? "
"So you're saying that if you copy me, I'll make a game to beat you?"
"Something like that."
"He's too full of himself! To be honest, if Chen Mo made mobile games or PC games, there's no doubt about it. Many successful games have proven that. But he's never done VR before! "
"I think so too. Moreover, his previous opponents were at most A-grade video game designers. This time, he's up against Old Yan, one of the most stable S-grade video game designers in the country. Thousand Hells is of such high quality, what if Chen Mo messes up?"
"I think that Chen Mo felt that it was more embarrassing to be forced to postpone, so he forced it."
"The problem is that he hasn't announced the release date of the game. He's going to develop it quietly for another two months. Who would know that he delayed it because he's a coward?"
"That's true, does that mean Chen Mo is very confident?"
"Maybe. By the way, Chen Mo had only been working on the game for seven months, right? He was still working on Reaper of Souls last November. What kind of VR game can he make in seven months? "
"Yeah, Yan Zhenyuan worked on 'Thousand Hells' for a year even though he had all the resources. Chen Mo cut it in half, and you still dare to challenge Thousand Hells? "
"Sigh, I don't understand. Whatever, I'll just go watch the game conference. To be honest, I wouldn't have high hopes for anyone else, but Chen Mo … I think he can play with Old Yan. "
"Yeah, let's watch the conference first."
…
On the day of the conference.
A five star hotel's conference room in the Imperial Capital.
Most of the reporters from the Imperial Capital were there. There were even reporters who flew all the way from Magic City or even further cities just to attend the press conference and ask Chen Mo a few questions.
The conference staff for this press conference were all hired professional teams, and all the work was arranged in an orderly manner.
There were banners, balloons, and signs outside the hotel. When the journalists entered, they were guided by the staff.
The seats in the conference room were arranged neatly, the set and microphones were well equipped. There were all sorts of posters and promotional materials, as well as cameras.
On the screen was a powerpoint titled Thunderbolt Entertainment's New Game Conference. The main speaker was Chen Mo. The powerpoint was very simple, without any game material, so it was impossible to guess anything about the game.
Many of the journalists were discussing in hushed tones before the conference even started.
"Almost there, five more minutes."
"This is Chen Mo's first game conference right? I think it was just a Weibo post before. "
"Yeah, Thunderbolt Entertainment is one of the more influential companies in terms of profitability. Looks like they'll be on the right track in the future."
"Not bad, the conference was well organized, unlike the messy ones from smaller companies. I wonder what the content will be like."
"I wonder how eloquent Chen Mo is."
"Eloquent? I think Chen Mo was a guest commentator for Warcraft before, he's definitely eloquent. "
"It's starting, it's starting!"
Chen Mo walked up to the screen with the microphone in hand and received a huge round of applause.
Chen Mo smiled and nodded to the crowd, "Thank you, thank you all.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this conference.
"Although there's a recording of the conference, there's no live stream. Moreover, everyone is more familiar with me, and I'm more familiar with everyone, so let's skip the unnecessary pleasantries. After all, everyone is only here to care about my game, right? "
"Regarding this press conference, I can assure everyone that I will definitely be open and honest, and I will definitely not lie to you. Of course, this is mainly for Han Lu from the gaming channel. "
Chen Mo purposely looked at where Han Lu was sitting.
The reporters at the scene burst into laughter. Everyone knew about the two interviews that Han Lu wrote for Chen Mo, and it was almost a joke.
Chen Mo smiled and continued, "Alright, let's begin the conference."
"Actually, many reporters might have already gotten the news that I'm going to release a VR game this time. This makes today's conference lose a lot of its mystery, especially since the title 'Chen Mo's first VR game' won't be revealed in a big way.
"Of course, I can't help it. I didn't really want to keep this a secret, there were too many ways to leak it. However, I realized that it was quite a pity when I started the conference today. So let's forget about it and play along with me. Pretend like you don't know what platform I'm releasing the game on, alright?
