The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 270 268.My youth is over

  "Huh? Honor of Kings 4 is the final work of the Kings series?"

  At the press conference, after Cao Yang announced the news, there was an uproar.

  All media related to the game industry were directly shocked.

  Everyone thought that Boss Cao was holding a press conference to announce the content of the next new work, but they did not expect such a bad news to be ushered in.

why?

  This is too sudden, right?

  Everyone is not very understanding, how can the glory of the king stop above the number 4.

  "Why? President Cao, the Honor of Kings series has always been Bomi’s largest IP game. Isn’t it a pity that it ends after 4?"

   But everyone almost guessed the result-

  After all, this work is definitely not ideal for Bomi. Only less than 500,000 sets have been sold so far, and the number of 500,000 will likely become a permanent fix.

  However, it is normal to have ups and downs, explosions and lows. Isn't it guilty that you have to announce the end of the glory of the king because of bad grades?

The    Fairy Sword series has been out for many generations, and Final Fantasy has also been out for many generations, and so is Dragon Quest...

  There must be some selling well and some not selling well. This is all normal.

  Is Boss Cao a little too glass-hearted?

   "Yes." Cao Yang put his hands on the table and approached the microphone. "Although it is a pity, we have to announce here that Honor of Kings 4 will be the final work of the single-player king.

  After this or so, we will not develop any stand-alone sequel to the glory of the king. "

"what?"

  There was an uproar below, and countless people felt sorry and embarrassed.

   "Why, President Cao, why did Bomi make such a decision? You must know that the King series has always been selling very well, especially in the East Island, which is very popular with players."

  Cao Yang said a little apologetically, "In fact, the glory of the king has been developed here, and almost all the stories to be told have been told. It is difficult to continue the glory of the king to provide better and updated galgame in the future.

  This series of works has gone through almost 6 years since its inception, and we have accompanied you through so many years.

  As a game born in 2000, its worldview and what was once considered to be extremely fresh have entered a period of poverty after so many generations of products.

  Everything has its own rise and fall, these are inevitable things.

  Our production team also made this difficult decision after careful consideration.

  Because it is difficult to present better stories to everyone through visual novels, we have also reached a bottleneck period.

  So very sorry, we have to make this difficult decision.

  After Honor of Kings 4, we will terminate the development of the stand-alone sequel to Honor of Kings. "

  Cao Yang’s words actually didn’t say dead, because even if you don’t develop a stand-alone sequel, it doesn’t mean that the king’s IP will be abandoned.

  After all, up to now, Bomi’s Glory of Kings series has accumulated a large number of fans around the world, and these fans will be well transformed in the future.

  In the future, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be the possibility of animation and online gameization of the former king IP.

  Especially the online game.

  Cao Yang has already thought about it. To make the glory of the king into a 5v5 competitive mode of the previous life, it just depends on what time it is better to develop and launch it.

  With Bomi's current R&D capabilities, it is certainly no problem to make a computer version of the Glory of the Kings battle.

  And compared to many stand-alone masterpieces, LOL is not technically difficult at all.

But……

  Cao Yang doesn’t want to take it out for the time being. His idea is to wait until World of Warcraft has made enough money and enter the decline of MMO, and then it’s better to launch the computer game of Glory of Kings.

  Because the MOBA type of game, as long as it appears, it is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction blow to the existing online game market.

  From MMO to MOBA, it is almost an irreversible process.

  MOBA is simple in form, and its content is more refined than MMO, but it has a strong sense of pleasure and fragmentation advantages. These are the very important reasons that make it a market hegemony.

  So even if you develop, you have to wait for a while, so that World of Warcraft can make enough money.

  ……

  Hearing Cao Yang’s announcement, countless people’s eyes had been killed.

  The scene was silent.

   After two seconds, a noise rang out, and people whispered, feeling very unbelievable about the new news announced by Bomi.

   "This is too sudden, right? It was announced that the King series is over, and there will be no new works in the future. This should disappoint the players."

   "Yes, it seems that the decision should be made suddenly. In fact, I can understand Mr. Cao's feelings. After all, the sales of Honor of King 4 are not very good."

"That’s also compared to the previous works? I played Honor of Kings 4 by myself. I don’t think it is good or bad, but it does lack some flavor, but it does not mean that the future of Honor of Kings 5 ​​will be good. No, Bomi can cheer up and make persistent efforts to develop the next work!"

   "Yes, the end was announced halfway through, and I feel empty in my heart now."

  ……

  Let the king series end, Cao Yang has another plan, which is to develop a new IP.

  In fact, Bomi’s current path has been going very well. The King series, the Shanhaijing series, and the Assassin series have all achieved great success.

  But to be honest, the King of Glory out to 4 is already considered a lot, and it doesn’t make much sense to continue. It is better to mobilize personnel to develop new IP.

  The king let it stop at the best time and pass on the classics. In fact, its historical mission has been completed.

under……

  Should be the era of "Gun Girls", right?

  Cao Yang sighed, "But you don’t have to be too disappointed. Although the King series is over, as a branch of the King’s glory, the Destiny series will be retained."

ha?

  The reporters were stunned.

  Night of Fate was originally a work in the glory of the king, but the special thing about this work is that it was developed by a game company in the island country, which is a work independently completed by Xingyue Company.

  Although it is also called Glory of the King, the timeline and character settings, including the style of painting, are completely different. In addition to the same worldview and heroic settings, it can be regarded as another game.

  But after hearing this news, the hearts of the media people got a little comfort.

  At least I have something to write when I go back today.

  This Nima...

  Sure enough, Boss Cao usually does not forget to promote new things when he holds a press conference.

  Although it is announcing the end of the Kings series, Boss Cao revealed a few very important news at this press conference——

  First, the Destiny series will be retained, but so far there is only one game in the Destiny series, which is the Glory of the King·Fate Night.

The reason why    is called a series is definitely more than one game, which means that in the near future, destiny will have new works to meet with you.

  Second, a wave of strong publicity was made for the island nation’s newly released animation "Fate/staynight".

  As players know that Honor of Kings 4 is the final game, the ratings should be very high compared to this anime, right?

  After another hour, Cao Yang answered some questions about reporters, then left the press conference and gave the rest of the time to Lai Yuling, the head of King Glory.

  In the face of countless flashing lights, Lai Yuling was nervous.

  But Boss Cao has already done the bulk of the work, and the rest is actually not that important. Lai Yuling only needs to answer the reporters’ detailed questions according to her profession.

  ……

   "What?! Bomi officially announced that Honor of Kings 4 will be the final game of the Kings series?"

  When hearing this news, the players were shocked.

   "Really or fake? What am I special... The Glory of Kings 4, which I only started yesterday, received such a bad news today. I feel that the whole person is not good."

"Really, I think Bomi's official website of Kings has already announced this news. And Cao Yang himself also said about it on Weibo. It seems that King of Glory 4 should be the final one. This is a hard and fast matter. Can't run away."

   "Groove! I have always liked the Kings series. From the very beginning, when King 1 was released, I was already collecting them. I didn't expect this series to end so early?"

   "Yeah, yeah, I also like the King series very much. I didn't expect it to be gone so soon. Oh... I feel that my whole youth is over."

"Yes, the King series has been with us for almost 6 years. This is how many people’s youthful memories are. When I wanted to play King 1, I had to hide in the quilt secretly. For this reason, I didn’t miss my mother. Fight."

  "Are you the king of playing 1? You are playing the 18th version, right?"

   "Nonsense! I must have been an adult when I played 18th."

"Hey, it's really full of memories. When I played the prequel, I cried because of the final ending. I always hope that Bomi can give a better ending. Now the king is over. It seems that the Lord's hope It's lost."

   "Bomi is really too cruel, right? Let the series end so early, obviously there are a few more models that can be released!"

   "What am I... If I have money in the future, I will go to Bomi to buy the King IP, and then I will develop a sequel for everyone to play."

   "Hahahaha, I hope your dreams come true, and you must do a good job in the character and plot, don't be too sloppy and ruin the classics in your mind."

  ……

  As Bomi officially announced the end of the glory of the king, countless people voiced their prayers online, hoping that Bomi could carefully consider this decision.

   But they were all rejected by Cao Yang.

  When everyone thinks it is the best, it is Bomi’s long-cherished wish to leave the best memory. In fact, it doesn’t make much sense to do it anymore. It ends at this time and can become a classic in the minds of players.

  After several petitions were inconclusive, the players spontaneously opened a forum on the Internet dedicated to commemorating the glory of the king.

  China, island countries, United States...

  All players who have played the Glory of Kings series have spontaneously organized and built a forum for Glory of Kings in their own country to commemorate the birth and end of Glory of Kings, which is full of countless people's memories of the glory of Kings.

  "I still remember the scene when I played Glory of Kings 1 for the first time that year. My assassin squatted in front of me, kneeling on one knee, and the teardrop mole at the corner of Ak's eye was clearly visible in the moonlight, she said—

  ‘Come following your call.

  From now on, my dagger will be with you, and your destiny will be with me. ——At this point, the contract is completed. ’

  Now thinking of this sentence, I have some tears.

  I feel like my Ak is still with me, but the King series has ended. "

  "I still remember the touch when I played the prequel to the glory of the king, and the pain in the final ending. Until now, I still hope that Bomi can give a good ending.

  After a few years, it seems a little relieved.

  Looking back now, maybe the ending of the last prequel is the best, because it has regrets, let us witness the growth and greatness of Wei Feng's father, and let us really feel the pain of everyone in the game.

  It is precisely because the glory of the king has so many classic characters that it has kept us following until now. "

  "The King Series:

  2000 King of Glory 1

  2000 King of Glory 1 18th version

  2001 King of Glory 2

  2003 King of Glory prequel

  2003 King of Glory 3

  2003 King of Glory·Fate Night

  2004 King of Glory 2 eighteen version

  2005 King of Glory 3 eighteen version

  2005 King of Glory·Fate Night 18th Edition

  2006 King of Glory 4

  Unexpectedly, we waited for nearly 3 years, and in 2006, what we were waiting for was the end of the King series.

  From 2000 to 2006, this was the best time in my life. When I played Honor of Kings 1, I liked the Akko in it, and there were two heroines, Rin and Sakura.

  I have imagined countless times how great it would be to meet such a girl one day.

  Later, I met my girlfriend. Her name also has a ling character. She has a character like Sakura with a tear-dropping mole on the corner of her eyes.

  I think this must be the best gift God has given me.

  So I went after her desperately.

  I chased her for two years.

  The day when the prequel of Glory of the Kings was released, she became my girlfriend. I was thinking, will we be as loving as the couple in the prequel?

  No, no, considering that the wife died so miserably, I still hope not to be too similar to them.

  My girlfriend and I had a sweet time, which is almost 3 years.

  On the day when Honor of Kings 4 was released, we broke up peacefully.

  I feel that my whole heart is emptied.

  As if everything was destined, my girlfriend left me, and the glory of the king came to an end.

  If one day, Bomi can bring the king back, she--

Will    appear in front of me?

  Now, if you end with one sentence, then it should be—

  My youth is over. "

   "My youth is over."

   "My youth is over."

   "Whose youth is not?"

  ……

  Not surprisingly, a week after the announcement of the end of the glory of the king, there were many more blades sent by players in the company.

  Even the little secretary praised the boss, “It’s really wise to build a new building and have a large warehouse, otherwise I don’t know where to put these blades.”

   Cao Yang’s forehead blue veins jumped with black lines all over his head, “Don’t be arrogant, it’s terrible, hurry up and sell it on Taobao.”

   "Yeah, do you think we don't have one?" Zhuang Yurou rolled her eyes, "We have already sold it on Taobao, but we haven't sold it yet."

  Good guy, Boss Cao used this hand to recycle, it was too slippery.

  Blades can still make a lot of money.

  ……

  In short, countless players lamented the end of the glory of the king, which also increased Cao Yang's notoriety.

   However, in contrast, the sales of Honor of Kings 4 have been boosted.

  In fact, this is also a kind of reason——

  After Van Gogh died, paintings became valuable.

  When many players of Glory of Kings heard about the end of this series, they were uncomfortable at first, and then went to the AIR game platform to purchase Glory of Kings 4.

  According to the words of the players——

  This is called a beginning and an end. Since you are in the pit, you have to buy it to the end.

  All the previous King series have been bought, there is no reason to not buy it in the end.

  Since it is called the final work, Honor of Kings 4 is bound to become the swan song of the series.

  Even players who haven't played the King series before are still infected invisibly, driving a wave of sales.

  In one week after the end of the Bomi official announcement of the King series, the sales of Honor of Kings 4 increased by 50% globally, which is 250,000.

  Although it is still far behind the previous works, this is already very good news.

   Cao Yang's initial expectation was that it would increase sales of about 200,000 yuan, and in the end it would be basically within this range.

  The main reason is that the quality of the works of Honor of Kings 4 is not enough, not as amazing as the previous works, so it is a matter of course to have this sales.

  ……

  However, although the sales increase of King 4 is not obvious, the sales of the previous works have increased, which is still a rare phenomenon in the game industry.

  Because a few years have passed since the game, it is difficult for players to buy them.

  Unexpectedly, because of the end of the glory of the king, many players spontaneously want to collect the original game, so the previous games of the king, who were no longer interested, have a wave of sales.

  After this wave of operations is over, Bomi has almost earned more than 50 million yuan. The market effect driven by the glory of the king 4 has earned Bomi about 100 million yuan in revenue.

  And the out-of-print Glory of Kings 1 CD, now on the market has reached a sky-high price of more than 1,000 yuan.

  The King of Glory 1 of the island country has also risen to a price of 30,000 yen, which is equivalent to 1,742 yuan of soft sister currency.

  Lai Yuling couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, you are really amazing. You actually use this suicidal style to promote and drive sales."

  Cao Yang's mouth twitched twice, "suicidal..."

  I really want to end this series, okay?

  ……

After the end of the   king series, for the players, the fate series of Xingyue became their sustenance.

  In April, Fate/staynight's anime was broadcasted, and the ratings were extremely high.
