I Developed Battlefield to Drive Players Around the World Crazy

All over the world, all players sighed and clicked the video attachment below Chen Xu's official blog for the first time.

It begins with darkness, or, more accurately, nothingness.

The whole world is covered with fog-like gas.

In the thick fog, countless towering ancient trees stood up, just like the golden trees that reached the sky at the junction of the French Ring.

It's just that these ancient trees are not as brilliant as the golden trees.

And around these ancient trees, there are many huge and immortal ancient dragons.

The camera slowly pulled up, accompanied by thick fog, ancient trees, and ancient dragons, and a low voice of an old woman narrated.

[In ancient times, the world was undifferentiated and shrouded in fog]

【The world is full of gray rocks, towering ancient trees... and immortal ancient dragons】

The camera slowly moved towards the largest ancient tree, slowly zoomed in and entered the gap under the ancient tree, extending all the way to the ground.

In the darkness, a mass of Mars appeared, lighting up everything around.

[However, one day, the first fire was born, and later people called it the first fire]

【So, the difference in the world is born because of this】

【Cold and Heat, Light and Darkness... Life and Death】

Little sparks appeared, eventually forming a blazing flame.

This group of burning flames is so fiery, so huge.

Just like the sun.

【And then, there are several species born from the darkness】

[They were attracted by the flame and found the king's soul around the fire]

In front of the flames, countless shadows climbed up from the ground and faced the flames.

[They gained the power of the king's soul and defeated the previous ruler of the world: the immortal ancient dragon]

As soon as the screen turned, people with strange powers such as lightning, flame, etc. were facing the ancient dragon army.

[The era of fire has begun...]

The thick gray and white fog gradually dissipated and was replaced by a huge royal city.

All the players who were watching recognized it at a glance. This was the magnificent royal city in the original painting that Chen Xu released earlier.

But in the video, it looks even more magnificent.

After a while, the screen fell into darkness, with only the lit light burning there, but it looked as if it would go out in the next second as well.

[But the fire will eventually go out, and then the world will be only dark]

[So, a hero with great power uses himself as firewood and inherits the continuation of the flame]

Countless strong men who could not see their faces stretched out their hands and ignited themselves with flames.

[These people who inherit the continuation of the flame, they are respected as: the king of salary]

Immediately, the screen fell into darkness, as if to indicate that a long time had passed.

Immediately afterwards, a dilapidated and lonely royal city slowly appeared.

It was the magnificent royal city before, but at this time it seemed to be dilapidated and full of traces of time.

Under the dim light, the frigid wind swept the snowflakes.

Gray dust shrouded the huge royal city, and the whole world was dead silent.

The old woman's voiceover sounded again, but it was full of despair.

[That is Lothric, the hometown of the salary kings of all dynasties, and the place where the wandering converges]

[Therefore, the pilgrims went north and understood the meaning of the parable]

The wind swept up the dust and sand, and in the endless wasteland, a group of staggered and bizarre creatures with tortoise shells wrapped around their backs, leaning on crutches against the wind and sand, continued to move forward in the gray wasteland.

The bodies of these creatures, like burned firewood, showed a black cracked state, and even a hint of orange-red sparks could be faintly seen.

Finally, one of the pilgrims collapsed from exhaustion, and at the end of his life he raised his head and glanced diligently in the direction of Lothric in the distance.

Then slumped down and never moved.

As the camera zooms out, the dull drum sounds and the low female voice sing, make players feel like they are in that deep and dark fantasy world.

[The fire is about to be extinguished, but Wang Ying is not in sight]

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As the old woman's words of despair and vicissitudes fell, a bell sounded in the distance, echoing between heaven and earth.

[When the flame of inheritance is extinguished, the bell will ring around, and then wake up the ancient King Xin who is sleeping in the coffin]

The soundtrack, which is a mixture of violin and orchestra, is gradually moving towards the direction of excitement, and the low-pitched female vocals are slowly raising their pitch.

With the sound of the bell, the camera came to the deep and dark underground cave, the huge coffin was pushed up, and the black slime-like mucus poured out and kept beating.

[Sacred Saint - Eldridge who devoured gods]

In the coffin and the mountain of corpses, soldiers wearing pointed hats, icy armor and holding half-human tall swords slowly got up, and behind them, dark red cloaks stained with blood swayed in the wind.

Looking directly at the camera, the group of soldiers slowly raised the big sword in their right hand, and the claw-shaped short knife in their left hand rested on the joint of their right arm.

[The Watchers of the Abyss——Flange Undead Squad]

Boom!

The huge chopping knife like a city wall smashed to the ground, causing a flurry of dust.

Then the giant like a hill in the huge coffin slowly got up. After hundreds of battles, the armor was dyed black and red with blood, and the arm holding the knife appeared to be cracked. You can even see the flames.

With an earth-shattering roar, the giant stood up from the coffin, and the sparks on his body rekindled.

[And, The Lonely King of Sin City: Giant King Yum]

Accompanied by the roar of the giant king Yum, in the background music, the chanting sound mixed with the soundtrack also reached its peak.

What an epic feeling!

What is a dark fantasy!

This is the taste! This is the taste!

All players holding mobile phones or sitting in front of computers watching this promotional CG video are all too excited.

Three years of waiting, this is the taste they want!

Immediately afterwards, the soundtrack, singing, and all the voices stopped abruptly.

The screen also fell into darkness, and the world became silent.

The old woman's voice sounded again.

【However, the salary kings will give up the throne after all.】

[And the ashes without fire will come one after another]

[That is the nameless, unable to become fuelwood, and the cursed undead]

A pair of white hands appeared in the dark lens.

The woman who couldn't see her face slowly put on her face the dark material goggles that flowed like a liquid on the candlestick.

With long silver-white hair, black robes, and a tall figure, she looks like a saint.

【And because of this...】

【Ashes are so eager for embers】

In the darkness, the woman who was wearing a blindfold walked forward with a corpse that seemed to have a broken leg.

The final screen fell into darkness, and the title of the game appeared in the center: "Dark Souls"

Then there is a line of subtitles:

【The "Dark Souls" demo experience will be open during the Magic Capital International Electronic Entertainment Expo! 】

In this promotional CG video, Chen Xu actually edited the original version.

That is to add part of the world view in Dark Souls 1.

The main reason is to lay the groundwork in advance. After all, he will definitely launch the content of the follow-up Soul 1.

Now I just add some suspense and fragmented content, mainly to give players a basic concept of the world view of Dark Souls.

That is how the age of fire came about, what does it mean to spread the fire, and what are the responsibilities of the king of kings? Why do players in the game want to kill them.

Although one of the fun of soul games is the fragmented plot, players discover the background of the game little by little.

But it does not mean that even the basic world view design must be a riddle person for the player.

And Chen Xu doesn't show everything to players.

The names of the gods such as Sun King Gwen, Witch, Nite, White Dragon Heath, etc. Chen Xu did not mention in the promotional video, only vaguely visible images.

It's so awesome! Don't say anything, this year's exhibition in the magic capital must go `~!"

"Must go +1, but I just don't know if the ticket is good or not!

"Sure enough, it did not disappoint, this promotional film is still the familiar taste! 35

"That's right, what's the epic feeling? This is the epic feeling!"

"It's time to let those game makers who imitate the French ring see what this type of game should taste like! 35

"Brilliant! When those salary kings appeared, with the background music, it was like an explosion! 39

"That's right, when that Wang Youmu appeared, the pressure was simply too strong!

"God, King Youmu, have you watched the promotional video seriously! He is the King of Giants, and Youmu is the name! It's not that the race is a giant, it's called Wang Youmu!

"Don't care, don't care, (to Zhao) anyway, you can understand! It really shocked my mother for a whole year!"

"And the appearance of the Flan Undead Team, so handsome! So crazy! I can't wait to fight them for 300 rounds.

"Haha, I'm afraid you weren't abused to the point of retreating!

"Cut, I'm the man with the eighth-week eye of the French ring! And the main line of the story is different from the French ring becoming the king of Ayrden. This "Dark Soul" seems to be spreading fire."

"I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait to spread the word!"

"I dream of spreading fire!"

Exploded, with the release of this promotional video.

Players around the world exploded in an instant.

It is still the familiar deep dark fantasy epic story.

From the narration to the art style, it's the taste they want.

Although there is a lot of content in the promotional video, they still don't understand a little bit.

But this is not critical. After all, even after three years have passed, there are still many fanatical players of "Ayrden's Circle", who have found some fresh content.

Even as far as the main line of the story is concerned, it is still divided into several genres, and many players have also incarnated as environmentalists, and various distances prove that their answers are orthodox.

So if you don't understand it, that's right!

This means the taste is pure!

Don't mess with them now, now they just want to spread fire!
