After watching this video, the players of Dark Souls went wild!
Although the video wasn't long, being less than four minutes long, it contained a lot of information.
The previous CG in Dark Souls had briefly mentioned the story of the First Flame. In that CG, it briefly mentioned that people found the King Soul and defeated the ancient dragon that ruled the world with the power of fire. However, the specifics of the battle were not clearly described.
In this brand new CG, many mysteries were revealed.
The Sun King Gavin wasn't the only one who defeated the ancient dragon. There were three people, including the Tomb King, Neet, and the Witch of Izaris.
There was also a dwarf whose face couldn't be seen. He didn't show up in the battle from beginning to end, but it was obvious that he had a King Soul as well, and was definitely a key figure.
This meant that this CG was the first official explanation of the battle between the gods and the ancient dragon. It also introduced that there were actually four King Souls.
Apart from that, many people deduced more things from this CG.
Since the First Flame brought order to the world, what was the world like before the First Flame appeared?
Many players suspected that souls existed at the beginning of the world, but they were disordered. The order and difference brought by fire separated the souls according to their different natures.
A large number of souls combined and appeared in a certain form to become the powerful King Soul.
The creatures that obtained the King Soul next to the First Flame would later be known as the gods. They had also changed their forms because they had obtained the King's Soul. They had become god-like existences with divine power.
As for the dwarf, many players were confused, as the world of Dark Souls didn't have such a setting.
Some "soul scientists" speculated that the dwarf might be referring to ordinary humans, as both the gods and giants in Dark Souls were very tall, and humans were the shortest.
Since this was a legend from ancient times, it was highly likely that the dwarves were the ancestors of mankind.
Of course, these were all guesses of the players. Chen Mo didn't intend to explain the whole story as an official.
The mysteries of the entire world were scattered throughout the game, and the players needed to slowly explore and deduce on their own.
However, from these few main gods, the players could see some traces of the later settings. For example, the power of magic came from the White Dragon Heath; the power of faith came from the gods, who were the owners of the King's Soul, led by Gavin; and the power of curses came from the witch of Izaris.
Obviously, this was a series with a high completion rate. Chen Mo didn't decide to make a prequel just because Dark Souls did well.
The plot of the prequel was already in his head.
Although there was a lot of information in this video, it only explained some details of the ancient war. Many players speculated that the prequel of Dark Souls would take place much further back than the timeline of Dark Souls, but exactly how much further back was it, and what exactly happened during it? These were things that he did not know.
Moreover, the Lord of Cinder was not mentioned in the entire video. Could it be that they were not going to fight the Lord of Cinder in this battle?
If not the Lord of Cinder, what should he do? Chaos Daemons? Or the gods that existed in the ancient times?
This video piqued the interest of countless players. Obviously, the prequel of Dark Souls was more epic than the original, and was closer to the truth of the ancient war.
Many of the unresolved plots in Dark Souls could be answered in the prequel!
This time, the Chinese and foreign players reached an agreement, but the way they expressed it was different.
The Chinese players said, "Stop talking, I'm going to buy it all!"
The foreign players said, "Shut up!
money！
…
In the experience store, Chen Mo looked at Zou Zhuo with a half-smile.
Zou Zhuo had a pained expression on his face, "Manager, can I play it after the official release?"
Chen Mo said with a smile, "Everyone else is fighting to play the new game, why are you pushing it? Isn't it a great honor to play the prequel of Dark Souls before everyone else? "
Zou Zhuo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Don't try to bluff me, manager. I knew the first batch of players would die a horrible death! The players at the back might be able to look at the guides, but the ones at the front are asking for it! "
Chen Mo laughed, "Isn't that the fun of Dark Souls?"
Zou Zhuo said, "… Alright, I'll be the first guinea pig! Who knows, I might even be the one to write the first guide for the prequel of Dark Souls. "
Zou Zhuo entered the VR pod in a dilemma, and became the first player of the prequel of Dark Souls.
This was the only VR pod in the experience store with the prequel of Dark Souls installed. The other VR pods wouldn't be installed until tomorrow. According to Chen Mo, this was a special treatment for Zou Zhuo …
Although he was a little scared, Zou Zhuo felt very honored to be the first player in the world to play the prequel of Dark Souls. He could brag about it in the future.
After entering the VR pod, Zou Zhuo quickly found the icon for the prequel of Dark Souls and started playing.
The opening cinematic was the same as the one before, quickly entering the title.
Zou Zhuo was a little nervous. After all, this was the prequel of Dark Souls!
Dark Souls made Zou Zhuo suffer quite a bit, and it was said that the prequel was even more difficult. Just how difficult would it be?
"Calm down, calm down. I've already cleared Dark Souls, what's a mere prequel to it? With the foundation of Dark Souls, playing the prequels will definitely be a piece of cake. I won't have to suffer! " Zhou Zhuo comforted himself. "Moreover, I've already played Outlast. What's there to be afraid of?"
After entering the game, Zhou Zhuo found himself in a completely dark environment. He had a free view, and could observe the character in front of him from all angles.
The person in front of him was probably his own character.
Creating a character wasn't much different from Dark Souls. It was basically the same, with the option to choose a gender, background, items, and even a face.
Moreover, Zou Zhuo logged in with his Thunderbolt Gaming Pass, which allowed him to import the face creation data from Dark Souls into the prequel, saving him a lot of trouble.
Zou Zhuo imported the pretty girl image he created into the game, and pretentiously chose a character with no owner.
Just like that, he successfully created a girl in ragged clothes.
