As the influence of Monster Hunter continued to spread, so did the sales of the game.
It had been almost two months since the release of Monster Hunter on October 14th. The players had gone from being crushed by the horned dragons and the male fire dragons to forming a team race and killing monsters as fast as they could.
In the past two months, the sales of Monster Hunter had been constantly refreshing people's understanding of it.
Monster Hunter had sold over three and a half million copies in two months!
Even at the half price of 990 RMB, Monster Hunter had brought Chen Mo a whopping thirty-four targets in revenue.
Moreover, this was only two months of sales. In the future, this number would definitely continue to rise. The actual impact of Monster Hunter was much more far-reaching.
In Chen Mo's previous life, Capcom's Monster Hunter World had sold over seven and a half million copies in three months, faster than PlayerUnknown's Battleground.
For many players who didn't play consoles, Monster Hunter was a game that they had heard of countless times, but they never understood why it was so popular.
Why did a game that had always leaned towards a hardcore genre suddenly have such explosive sales?
In fact, the biggest reason was that it went from a Mosaic Hunter to a 3A Next Generation Hunter.
This wasn't to say that the previous games of Monster Hunter weren't good. The main reason was that the previous games were all released on handheld consoles, which couldn't support Monster Hunter World's level of graphics and seamless maps. Therefore, the games were full of compromises.
When it came to the stage of Monster Hunter World, with the improvement of graphics and overall optimization of gameplay, Monster Hunter World became the culmination of the series. It could be said that it attracted new and old players to the greatest extent, which was why it achieved an explosion in sales.
And there was another important reason for the parallel world.
Dark Souls, which Chen Mo previously developed, greatly increased the pain threshold of players.
Players in the parallel world were originally very weak. Although Dark Souls won the Game of the Year award, its sales didn't reach a level that could destroy the world, and was far from being able to match its fame.
But no matter what, Dark Souls had a profound effect on the entire video game industry and the taste of players.
With the foreshadowing of Dark Souls, everyone was more tolerant of Monster Hunter, which was also a game of suffering.
Although the monsters in Monster Hunter had extremely high AI, overall, the degree of suffering in this game was still lower than in Dark Souls. This was because the game allowed many people to form parties, and there were a lot of specialized items. Moreover, the players could upgrade their equipment to the point where they could grind brainlessly …
Therefore, many players who weren't very confident in similar games bought Monster Hunter. Some of them gritted their teeth and cleared the game, while others probably ate dust. But no matter what, the fact that so many new players were buying it was already an amazing thing.
…
While Monster Hunter's popularity was steadily increasing, Chen Mo's promotional cinematic was released.
Many players were stunned when they saw the name of the game.
"World of Martial Arts?
"Wuxia theme?"
"It's been a while since Salent made a Chinese game!"
"F * ck, this is a benefit for domestic players! Let's go take a look! "
This was a pleasant surprise for many players, as it had been a long time since Chen Mo made a Chinese game.
Although it was easier for fantasy games to break into the international market and build a huge IP, many players who were passionate about traditional culture had an indescribable fondness for Chinese games.
Who wouldn't want good games to come out of traditional Chinese culture?
Therefore, when the promotional cinematic for World of Martial Arts was released, the attention of Chinese players was attracted. They were all very curious, what kind of game would it be?
…
The moon was dark, and the wind was strong.
A goshawk flew across the pitch-black sky, vaguely seeing a vast view in the distance.
It was a vast land, with mountains, plains, and rivers.
Villages, cities, and sects were built on top of it. Looking through the clouds, one could see the unique buildings in the Chinese style. They were surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was beautiful.
The camera zoomed in to a dense forest outside of Luoyang.
Swordsman with a bamboo hat bent down to investigate the cause of death of a Shaolin disciple who was lying on the ground.
Suddenly, the Shaolin disciple grabbed his hand, and with blood flowing from his mouth, he struggled and said, "Tendon Changing Scripture … Tendon Changing Scripture … Be careful!"
Just as the Shaolin disciple finished speaking, a few poisonous darts suddenly shot at Swordsman from behind!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Swordsman's right ear twitched, and he instantly shifted to the left. The darts all landed on the ground.
Swordsman glanced at the darts with unique markings on the ground. "Someone from the Tang Sect?"
In the depths of the forest, a black shadow flashed past a lush tree.
Swordsman leaped, and his body shot out like an arrow. He stepped in the air and quickly closed the distance between them. At the same time, he unsheathed his sword with his right hand, and a storm of sword glare shot at the black shadow in front of him!
At the same time, the masked man suddenly turned around and raised both of his hands. Dense hidden weapons swept over like a storm!
"Flower Rain! You really are from the Tang Sect! "
Swordsman did not retreat. Instead, he took advantage of the moment when the masked man turned around and thrust his sword forward. The sharp sword glare broke through the net of hidden weapons and pierced the masked man's right shoulder in an instant!
However, the sky full of hidden weapons also pierced into Swordsman's left shoulder, lower abdomen, and other parts of his body.
A trace of malice flashed in the masked man's eyes, and he covered his shoulder and ran away.
Swordsman still wanted to chase after him, but black poisonous blood was already seeping out of the corner of his mouth. He quickly took out a pill and swallowed it.
The masked man stumbled forward, and when he saw that Swordsman did not chase after him, he let out a long sigh of relief.
He took out some Jinchuang Ointment and wanted to apply it on his wound, but he found that the sword aura had already seeped into his meridians, and he was bleeding non-stop.
The masked man wanted to meditate and force out the sword aura from his body, but at that moment, a light pink flower petal suddenly floated down from the sky.
The masked man's eyes were filled with fear. He was just about to stand up and run away when a palm wind suddenly pierced through the air and hit him right in the middle of his back!
The masked man's internal organs were shattered by the palm wind. He staggered a few steps forward, turned around with difficulty, and looked at the graceful beauty who was leisurely walking towards him from afar.
She was beautiful, and her clothes fluttered in the wind. She looked like an otherworldly fairy, but she was the Judge of Death.
The masked man fell to the ground with his face facing the sky, and the focus in his eyes gradually faded.
The beauty waved her right hand, and the thing in the masked man's arms flew into her hand.
