Chen Mo nodded,”although I haven’t decided yet … It’s possible that it’ll appear in the old legends.”

Denise was very excited. This was clearly the most valuable piece of news she had discovered this time.

“Then, is there anything you can reveal about the prequel to Dark Souls?”

“Well …” Chen Mo said,”I’ve decided on the background, but I can’t reveal too much now. I can only reveal that it was set much earlier than Dark Souls itself.”

Denise asked,”far earlier than the time setting … How long exactly?” Will he tell us about the beginning of the world of Dark Souls?”

“Yeah,” Chen Mo said,”the players will come into contact with many of the early characters in Dark Souls, including the Sun King Gwyn, who built the Age of Fire.”

“Actually, the research and development plan for this project has already been decided a long time ago, and it won’t take too long. This is because the overall engine is based on the current engine. We only need to add some scenes.”

The more Denise listened, the more excited she became. Will it be sold separately this time, or will it appear in the form of a DLC?”

“It’s going to be sold separately,” Chen Mo said.”But there’ll be two different versions this time, including the VR and mobile version.”

“Mobile version?” Denise was stunned.

“Yes,” Chen Mo nodded. As for this mobile phone, it was still only being sold in China. If you’re interested, I can give you one, or you can bring it back to tgnn. I expect this model to be sold overseas soon. ”

Chen Mo stood up and took a brand new Switch from the side and handed it to Denise.

“Is this a brand new handheld device? Oh, I have a little impression of it, but I don’t think this model is sold in Europe and the United States. ” Denise curiously observed the Switch’s packaging.

Chen Mo smiled,”yes, I’ve been busy with Dark Souls ‘development. It’s a bit rushed. There aren’t many games on it, so I’m thinking of delaying the release for a few months.” This time, the prequel of Dark Souls and the main body of Dark Souls will be released on the mobile platform. ”

Denise was a little surprised,”isn’t this a little unnecessary?” Those who really like dark Souls are hardcore players, so they definitely prefer to play in the game cabin. ”

Chen Zhao smiled. The current pricing strategy was that if players bought the VR version of Dark Souls, they would get the mobile version for free. Players who can’t afford a VR pod can also buy the switch, and it’s very cheap at only 98 Yuan, which is about 16 dollars, not even 1/20 of the VR version. ”

Denise nodded. After hearing the price, she began to understand the advantages of the mobile version of Dark Souls.

However, she hadn’t opened the treasure chest yet, so it was hard for her to understand what it felt like to play Dark Souls on such a small mobile phone.

“Then,” asked Denise.”How much content will the dark Souls on the handheld device shrink?”

“It’ll faithfully recreate Dark Souls ‘content,” Chen Mo said.”It won’t shrink too much.” Of course, due to the different operation and display methods of the two devices, the mobile version of Dark Souls will definitely have some changes in the experience. ”

“But I think the mobile version and the VR version are two different gaming experiences. It’s hard to say which is better.”

“Then,” said Denise excitedly,”in the prequel to Dark Souls, can you strengthen my favorite whip-type weapon?”

Chen Mo smiled,””Like I said before, you can turn off the damage display.”

Denise was speechless.

Clearly, Chen Zhao couldn’t increase the damage of the whip.

Dennis thought for a moment and asked,”there’s another crucial question. How difficult is the prequel to Dark Souls?” Will you lower the difficulty just because the players strongly request it?”

Chen Mo chuckled.”I’ve said it before. When I’m making Dark Souls, I never consider the difficulty. I want to give the players an unexpected feeling. I want to surprise them and bring them happiness.”

“As for the prequel to Dark Souls … Let’s put it this way. It will be an even more unexpected game. Or rather, it is the true essence of Dark Souls. I think it will surpass the current Dark Souls in terms of gameplay. ”

After saying that, Chen Zhao gave a meaningful smile.

Denise was very excited.”Alright! I’m sure many players can’t wait to see it. I hope the prequel of Dark Souls can be completed as soon as possible!”

Denise chatted with Chen Mo for a while more. The reporter from across the ocean was obviously curious about everything in the experience store, and only left after asking a few more questions.

“In short, the content of Dark Souls ‘prequel shouldn’t be confidential, right? It shouldn’t be a problem to release it to the players now, right?” Asked Denise.

Chen Mo smiled.”No problem. You can make the players look forward to it. I hope you can try the Switch and help promote it.”

Denise nodded.”Okay. I’ll take my leave now. I hope there will be more interviews in the future.”

Denise walked away happily, her mind filled with her longing for the prequel to Dark Souls.

The other players probably had the same expectations as Denise, but Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile when he thought about the difficulty of the game.

……

Chen Zhao had a lot of things to do recently.

The number of employees in Thunderbolt entertainment was increasing. Not only were there more people in the art department, but there were also more people in charge of the operation and maintenance of various projects. The four-floor workspace was almost full.

There was a lot of work to do at Thunderbolt entertainment.

On one hand, it was the League of Legends competition. The domestic league was in full swing, and the popularity was getting higher and higher. The time of the second Global Finals was gradually approaching, and many players of League of Legends were looking forward to it.

On top of that, Overwatch had already released its International Version a long time ago, and it received a very good response in the Western market.

However, the game’s popularity in China was not as dominant as League of Legends, mainly because of the game’s characteristics.

As the game’s depth wasn’t that great, it was difficult for its popularity to continue rising. Many players would stop playing it after the novelty wore off.

However, Overwatch was still a popular game and needed to be operated in the long run.

Of course, there were professionals in charge of maintaining the content, so Chen Mo didn’t have to worry about it, since the game was already more or less set.

Chen Mo’s current focus was on two things. One was to remake Dark Souls 1 so that the Dark Souls series could be fully presented in this world; On the other hand, it was to promote the Switch.

So far, the Switch had not been sold in the European and American markets, and there were no particularly popular games on the platform except for Odyssey.

Chen Mo wanted to use the popularity of Dark Souls to lay the foundation for Switch to open up the Western market.

The mobile phone and the VR gaming pod targeted completely different groups of people. The biggest advantage of the mobile phone was that it was cheap.

For a game like dark Souls, the VR version costs 1988 Yuan, but the mobile version only costs 98 Yuan.

The difference in experience between the two devices was mainly in the sense of immersion. The mobile version of Dark Souls was equally fun in terms of playing method and content.

Apart from that, the market share of mobile platforms was still expanding. Just like in his previous life, more and more manufacturers were modifying their PC games and putting them on the mobile platform. The results were good, and the profitability of mobile games was getting stronger and stronger.

Chen Mo hadn’t released a new game on mobile games for almost a year. Could he use this opportunity to pick up another wave of leeks?
