The popularity of Detroit: Become Human is still going strong.
At the same time, many game companies, some of which had modest plans before Lucas released Detroit: Become Human, have also launched their own new games that support holographic projection technology.
In terms of quality, although most of them are just okay and not particularly outstanding, they are selling well.
This is also normal, as there are still few games that support new technologies.
For players, there aren't many choices.
Despite the excellent quality of Detroit: Become Human.
Players can't just play one game and not others.
Therefore, the entire market is still very large, and this situation has prompted other companies to step up their preparations for this type of game.
However, compared to other companies.
Lucas is watching a finished promotional CG for World of Warcraft.
Unlike before, most of the art assets for World of Warcraft have actually been in secret development for a long time.
Lucas and his team already have experience with a system related to games in Nebula World.
For Lucas, Warcraft is not just about the content and gameplay, but also about subsequent operations.
After all, this is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and Lucas can't possibly release subsequent expansions like Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm all at once when it launches.
Instead, it will be arranged little by little based on the players' progress in the game.
For example, if players have figured out all the content of the current version, with nothing left to play in PvP or PvE, and no more grinding to do.
Then the version cannot be delayed for a year or two, and similarly, if players have not figured out the current version yet, a new version cannot be released directly.
So this part is quite important.
Secondly, it's about promotion. They've adopted an Easter egg collaboration with Nebula World. This time it's much more mysterious than before, but after all, the player base is huge.
According to Lucas's estimate, at the current pace.
It won't be long before players discover the truth behind the Easter eggs.
At least it will definitely be faster than the game's development.
So promotion needs to be done thoroughly.
A full-fledged promotional campaign from pre-heating to the official launch of the game.
In addition, how to help players better understand the background and related content of World of Warcraft.
This CG is naturally indispensable.
The game is not here yet, but the CG comes first, which is a tradition of Nebula Games.
And the shock that Warcraft brought to players back then was not primarily due to how fun the RTS gameplay was, or how grand the story was.
The most direct sensation was the exquisite CG content.
This is considered staying true to the original intention.
......
In the VR game pod, Ben is browsing some recently released games, hoping to find some interesting new ones.
After playing Detroit: Become Human, he's been feeling a bit bored with games lately.
Although Detroit: Become Human is great, after finishing it, he doesn't have the motivation to unlock the story in a second playthrough.
He basically just watched edited videos from other YouTubers to understand the stories of other paths.
As for some of the recent new games that support brainwave technology, he found two of them to be pretty good, but after the novelty wore off, he felt they were just okay.
Just as he was about to continue searching for more games, his phone in reality rang.
He got out of the game pod to check the caller ID, it was Zack calling.
"Zack, what's up?" Ben asked curiously after answering the phone.
"It's out! Ben, it's finally out! The sequel to Warcraft!" Zack's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Holy cow, what did you say!?" Hearing Zack's voice, Ben paused for a moment, then quickly hung up the phone and opened Lucas's official Weibo.
Zack?
Is Zack as important as Warcraft?
Now he just wants to confirm one thing.
Entering the official Weibo, he saw that Lucas's account page had posted a message five minutes ago.
But it already had over 300,000 likes and nearly 50,000 reposts.
The message was simply one sentence: 'Log in to Nebula World to unlock the Azeroth promotional video.'
And below this official Weibo, there was a video attachment.
It's clear that the promotional video is divided into a VR version and a regular version.
He hadn't clicked on the video yet, but the four words 'Azeroth' seemed to have a magical power.
Countless memories flooded back.
Prince Kael'thas and Arthas's feud, from the beginning because of Jaina's feelings, to Arthas becoming a death knight and leading the Scourge invasion.
Arthas, misunderstood by his teacher and lover, finally pursued power and was tempted to become the Lich King's minion.
Jaina, turning her back on her own people, saying orc lives matter, and helping Rexxar kill his own father.
Grommash Hellscream plunging Gorehowl into Mannoroth's chest in the Barrens, breaking the blood curse of the orcs.
Illidan, who was imprisoned for ten thousand years, still deeply in love with his sister-in-law.
Even though years have passed, these stories and characters are still deeply memorable.
"Holy shit! This… this is real!?"
Ben couldn't help but express his shock and excitement.
Because he was so excited!
And it wasn't just Ben; at this very moment, all players who had experienced Warcraft.
Whether they were at home or abroad, they were all in a state of excitement and ecstasy.
The simple four words 'Azeroth' were enough to make countless players exclaim with excitement.
The hero system and treasure system directly subverted the entire RTS world at the time.
So this is how RTS could be done.
This is how RTS could have such a rich story.
This unprecedented RTS game achieved incredible success in the PC game market of that era.
For more ordinary players, the rich story of Warcraft was also unforgettable.
The story of Arthas becoming the Lich King, the relationship between the Alliance and the Horde, Illidan's whereabouts…
In the RPG maps of Warcraft, the third-party stories written by players were endless.
Even now, many players are still playing Warcraft's RPG maps.
But precisely because of this, the years of accumulation have made Warcraft a dream in the hearts of countless players.
Now, this dream is finally coming true.
Below the official Weibo, there were countless messages from excited players.
'Boss Lucas, do you know how many years I've waited?'
'From junior high to high school, I'm almost graduating from college, and I've finally waited!'
'Six years! Boss Lucas, do you know how I've lived all these years?'
'The silly boy, the little demon king, I've finally waited for you!'
'I knew you were going to do something big! That parchment map in Nebula World was the map of Azeroth!'
'Nebula World has games corresponding to various scenes, but there was only one game missing, and that was Warcraft, and now it's finally coming!'
After glancing at the comments left by equally excited players.
Ben immediately re-entered the VR game pod and opened Nebula World to see what the VR version of the promotional video would be like.
Although there was an attachment below the official Weibo.
But he wanted to give his first impression to the most precious video.
