“””If the sales of Matrix’s gaming pods exceed 20 million, we’ll release this game.”” ”

“Chen Mo’s new Weibo was as simple as ever, without any extra words. ”

“There were only two sentences in the Weibo post, but it was obvious that the CG attached at the bottom was the main content of the post. ”

“The moment Chen Mo posted on Weibo, the players all commented and reposted immediately, so they didn’t pay much attention to the content of the cinematic. ”

“However, when they clicked on the video after sharing it, the players ‘reactions were different. ”

Some of them almost fell off their chairs.

“Some of them shouted on the spot, even more excited than when they saw the team they liked. ”

Some of them burst into tears on the spot and even hugged their close friends and cried.

Some even wanted to run out of the house immediately and run a few laps around their neighborhood.

“There were all sorts of reactions, but none of them were not excited. ”

Some of the new players might be confused. What was going on?

“The reply with the most likes was very simple. It only had three words, but it received 10000 + likes. ”

“””It’s been seven years!”” ”

……

……

“When the familiar Thunderbolt Entertainment’s logo appeared on the screen, most players didn’t realize what kind of promotional video it was, thinking it was just a normal trailer for Chen Mo’s next game. ”

“However, when the logo disappeared and the Lich King Arthas, who was sitting on the ice throne, appeared on the screen, all the players ‘calmness immediately turned into ecstasy. They even rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and after confirming that they were not seeing things, they burst into cheers of excitement! ”

“Seven years ago, Chen Mo was still an unknown C-grade videogame designer, while Thunderbolt entertainment only had a small Experience Store. People thought that they could only make casual games like Plants vs. Zombies, which made a splash in the mobile and PC industry. ”

“Even after I am MT and the universe of Azeroth were released, most people didn’t think that it would become a classic ip that could conquer the world. Instead, they thought that whether it was an anime or a mobile game, it was just a new money-making model that Chen Mo had come up with. ”

“Indeed, most of the game companies at the time were learning the business model of I am MT. Even if a few tried to copy the works of the world of Azeroth, they were soon stillborn. ”

“To these companies, learning the pay-to-win mobile game model of I am MT gave many mobile game designers a chance to make a comeback. It also made the mobile game market advance by leaps and bounds, and the volume kept expanding, even starting to squeeze out the space for PC games. ”

“It wasn’t until the release of Warcraft that people realized that Chen Mo and Thunderbolt entertainment wouldn’t be satisfied with casual games, nor would they be satisfied with mobile games that could make money. ”

“This unprecedented real-time strategy game had achieved outstanding results in the PC gaming market of that era, allowing Thunderbolt Entertainment’s reputation to spread overseas. The design of the game itself also provided a lot of development ideas for future PC games, such as the design of stairway. ”

“Warcraft’s story perfectly presented the world of Azeroth’s content, and no one doubted that if Chen Mo was willing to work on this ip, it would definitely be a huge stroke in the history of gaming. ”

“At the end of the ending cinematics of Warcraft The Frozen Throne, Arthas, who had defeated Illidan and his allies, began to climb up the high throne alone. Frostmourne was by his waist, and his black cloak fluttered behind him. His white hair was so eye-catching. ”

That lonely back was just like when he entered the royal city of Lordaeron and killed his father.

“Anubrak and the other loyal scourge soldiers continued to slaughter the defeated enemies outside the throne. Arthas no longer cared about all this. He climbed to the top of the ice throne, followed ner ‘zhul’s will, broke the ice on the throne, and picked up the ice Crown that had fallen to the ground. ”

To crown himself as King.

“After that, Arthas fell into a long sleep. ”

“He sat on the throne, holding Frostmourne in his right hand. His eyes were closed, and he remained motionless. The blizzard made the layer of ice on his body grow thicker and thicker, to the point that it was about to fuse with the ice throne. ”

“As the background music played, the camera zoomed out, and the story of the ice throne slowly came to an end. ”

“If there were no new promotional cinematics, this story could probably be answered in the question and answer community,””which of you think it’s just the beginning, but in fact, it’s already the peak of the story?”” This question. ”

“The players all thought that Chen Mo would continue the success of Warcraft and continue to develop the world of Azeroth ip. As long as they waited patiently, the sequel would be out. ”

“However, this wait lasted for seven years. ”

“In the past few years, Chen Mo had made Minecraft, United States of legends, Dark Souls, doomsday, Legend of Zelda, and GTA, all of which were recognized as godly works. But when it came to the world of Azeroth, no matter how the players and reporters asked, Chen Mo would always keep a mysterious smile on his face, even making people think that he was ready to give up on this world-famous ip. ”

“In the past seven years, the entire game industry had developed rapidly, almost like a rocket, from the VR era to the next generation of VR. ”

“Seven years later, the world of Azeroth descended once again. ”

“However, there was one thing that the players were talking about. Even in the world of Azeroth, only four years had passed since the Lich King sat on the ice throne until he finally woke up, which was three years earlier than in the real world. ”

“The universe of Azeroth didn’t introduce the story after the Lich King’s awakening, but the story before the Lich King’s awakening had long been described. ”

“””When Arthas put on the helmet, he fell into a four-year-long sleep.”” ”

“””In his soul, there was a split that represented his remaining rationality and humanity. It was a young Arthas. As long as this child is still alive, there is still hope to fight against the power of evil.”” ”

“””But after repeated struggles and games, Arthas still gave in. He gave in to the darkness in his heart. He personally destroyed the incarnation of his humanity and pierced his chest with Frostmourne. “” ”

“””At that moment, all of Arthas ‘regrets, cowardice, self-reflection, and doubts were wiped out. The once powerful power of the Holy Light was also swept away.”” ”

“””He completely abandoned everything in the past and became a cold and heartless demon.”” ”

“””Ner ‘zhul’s soul was ecstatic. He declared that Arthas would become the Lich King with him.”” ”

“””But Arthas’s sword pierced through ner ‘zhul’s soul again.””Not us. No one can tell me what to do. Now, this power belongs to me. I am the Lich King, and I’m ready. “” ”

“””Arthas devoured ner ‘zhul’s soul and seized his power. He became the Lich King and woke up from the throne of ice.”” ”

“””The fragment of his humanity turned him into an illusion in noscent, guiding the adventurers in the past to search for the truth.”” ”

“After four years of deep sleep, in the new trailer, the Lich King’s eyes glowed blue under his helmet, and the ice on his body began to crack. ”

The Lich King had awakened.
