One week later.

Chengdu, Orange Elephant Game.

It was already 3 a.m. in the second half of the night, but the company was still brightly lit.

The last level is to be overcome and will be officially tested tomorrow. "Honor of Kings" will be released soon!

Li Zhifan, who was far away in the capital, did not rest, and kept videos with Chen Cheng here.

"The release of this game will surely cause a stir around the world!"

Li Zhifan was full of confidence, "As long as the review was passed, we will hold a press conference immediately!"

"Yes, Mr. Li!" Chen Cheng just replied calmly, but he didn't think that this game could really set off a revolution in the game world and overturn the barriers in the mobile game world as Li Zhifan said.

Because even a popular game like "Wolf Warrior" has not been transplanted into mobile games, how can a newly released moba game be done?

Li Zhifan has this confidence, but there are only two things.

First of all, the game itself is simple and direct, with multiple modes, suitable for both young and old.

What the mobile game market wants is convenience. You can play two games anytime, anywhere if you take out your phone. In addition, the picture is as good as possible, the operation is convenient and the gameplay is diverse, making players happy, and the game will definitely be a big hit.

Secondly, the source of registered users.

Li Zhifan contacted the three parties to cooperate, one is the Yuexin platform, the other is the Kuaibo platform, and finally the Coco platform.

You can log in directly with a three-party account, but the three-party accounts are not interoperable. They are all independent accounts. They are also different district servers in the game, and the servers are all different.

Although these three cannot be played together, and if you want to play with friends, you can only play on one platform and district server, for Orange Elephant, it can greatly increase the number of users.

Intercommunication technology is not a difficult task, and it can be operated in one server, but it makes a greater profit separately. Compared with the original "Wolf Warrior" mobile game version, this part has invisibly superimposed the number of users.

Whether it is a mobile game or other application software, when the number of users increases or even explodes, it will inevitably attract more players to play this game.

At present, Yuexin, Kuaibo and Coco platforms all hold stakes in the game project "Honor of Kings", and it was proposed by Li Zhifan, 5% of each person.

After all, the lifespan of a game is limited. It can be played for three or five years, but it is difficult to last for ten or twenty years.

When profits are maximized, Li Zhifan can directly find a large game company to take over and then develop the next mobile game after taking the money.

As for the current performance of the "Wolf Warrior" mobile game, it has begun to decline, the daily registration volume has been falling, the daily online users have been falling, and the daily installed capacity has also been falling.

Although he still maintained the first place in the mobile game version, he would one day fall to the bottom of the list.

And what replaces it is this revolutionary mobile game - "Honor of Kings".

Primary school students, it's mine!

Middle school students are mine too!

Young white-collar workers and unemployed vagrants are all mine!

...

Another week later.

The internal beta version of "Honor of Kings" has passed the review of various departments.

Orange Elephant immediately started to hold a new mobile game launch conference.

You have to eat rice bite by bite, and you can take the layout slowly, but the speed of mobile games being released is urgent.

On the eve of the new game launch conference, many e-sports media tweeted to warm up this new game:

"【Gourd Game Review】: "Honor of Kings" is a moba mobile game. Unlike the traditional dota game on the PC side, it has innovated the moba type, with the full name: multiplayer online tactical competitive game. "Honor of Kings" has created a 5v5 Kings Canyon and a big battle mode. 10-player online confrontation, intercommunication operation skills can be used with team cooperation, tower push, soldiers, five kills, and team battles. Players can compete in three ways in Kings Canyon, and can also fight dragons. In addition, the battlefield of "Honor of Kings" is on the mobile phone, which allows players to start black team fights at any time, regardless of time or location, as long as they want to fight, they can start black team fights at any time, and competitive battles are more convenient and faster."

"【Youmi.com Review】: As a hero battle game on mobile phones, "Honor of Kings" has 5v5, 3v3 and 1v1 modes with multiplayer real-time competition, which can meet the combat needs of different players - among them, the 5v5 battle is similar to the dota-type gameplay, but it has great differences, carrying 10 players to fight and cooperate. "Honor of Kings" has many heroes, each with corresponding characteristics. When players manipulate heroes to gather together, a big battle is inevitable."

"【Netstar Game Review】: The game "Honor of Kings" feels smooth, simple and easy to use, and the picture feels good. More importantly, basically all heroes can be bought with gold coins, without spending all RMB to buy. The game's rhythm and manipulation are a highlight. The disadvantage is that mobile heroes are very difficult to control. It is like a fighting game. It requires more practice and a mobile phone that runs smoothly to have better technology to control it."

“…”

In fact, "moba game" is a branch of "dota" game.

In another world, although the term moba is widely used in dota games, it is not very good for dota games as a derivative word for dota, and it is different from other multiplayer online games.

For example, games like cs and cf can also be defined in moba.

However, it is obviously different from dota games, so players who strictly distinguish the concept of the game and respect the history of game development have always resisted moba as a general term for dota games.

During the Lol implementation stage, Riot Company has always claimed to be a moba-like game. When lol became popular all over the world, Riot Company hoped to get rid of the name of "counterfeit", and decided to launch a name that is different from the dota-like game to fight against dota. Therefore, the term "moba-like game" emerged.

When lol just started to enter China, in order to attract popularity, the level option for novices to register an account was still used. Until the number of players in lol has exceeded dota, there is no need to use the reputation of dota, moba was used, which established the scope of moba game reference.

"Honor of Kings" is a mobile game that transplants the PC game LOL, and its popularity further confirms the independence of moba. It has changed from intentional misuse to correct use, just like many idioms, such as "groundlessness". When some of them were abused at the beginning, there were ambiguity and controversy, but when more people were used, the controversial ambiguity became a joke.

The game companies in this world still have bottom lines.

There are many dota games, but none of them stand up to claim that they are independent moba games.

But Li Zhifan opened this head, although it was a bad head, but it had to be opened. Otherwise, how could he claim to be his unconventional game?

...

These reviews did not cause any disturbances on a large scale.

Even among the e-sports circle and gamers, it has not attracted much popularity.

Yes, new games are released every day, and games are offline every day. So how can "Honor of Kings" attract players' high attention based on just a few reviews?

If you add the names of Orange Elephant Game and Li Zhifan, the news will definitely be popular.

But it didn't.

Because this important news will be put on the day of the press conference.

June 18.

Shenzhen.

Jiuzhou International Hotel.

The Orange Elephant New Game Release Conference will be held on time at 2 pm.

There are many domestic e-sports media outlets who have received invitations, including many self-media users, but they have received invitations in a wide range.

Outside the hotel, from the roof to the middle waist, there are advertising banners hanging vertically, with five people on it, the leader is Li Zhifan, and the latter four are well-known professional players in the e-sports circle playing dota games, including many anchors with annual salary of tens of millions.

The background picture is "Glory of Kings", with the four big-character logos with "Glory of Kings" above your head, which is particularly conspicuous.

Many media friends who attended realized that this game was really related to Li Zhifan.

As for whether he endorses or research and development, it will only start after attending the press conference.

In fact, when I first received an invitation from Orange Elephant, many people guessed it.

However, Li Zhifan is an entertainment figure after all, and he took the lead in planning and developing "Wolf Warrior" because it is related to his movies and is suspected of plagiarizing foreign chicken-eating games. Although there are many innovations, the industry generally does not recognize Li Zhifan as the creator of this game, but instead regards the R&D officer of the "Wolf Warrior" game as the creator.

Is there any difference this time? Everyone can only wait and see if it will be different.

Two o'clock.

The press conference begins.

Li Zhifan himself served as the host.

This is different from the launch conference of ordinary new songs and new movies, similar to the launch conference of mobile phones.

Li Zhifan went on stage and greeted everyone: "Hello, all the media friends on the scene, hello everyone!"

Applause rang out without too many shouts, and then kept quiet together.

"It's very rare. Please come to the scene and participate in our new game launch conference!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "In the past few years, many new games have been launched almost every month, and games have been offline every week. It is really difficult for a game to become a hit and can last for several consecutive years."

"For ordinary game manufacturers, it is tantamount to producing new games that can seize the market in a short period of time. It is tantamount to waiting for death. Therefore, only many large game manufacturers can cast wide nets and catch more fish. No matter whether it is good or bad games, they can release them all, and they can gain the user group and survive. The best game is the best game."

Many people laugh every day.

Of course, Orange Elephant cannot do this. It is probably difficult to develop a game a year, but "Wolf Warrior" makes a lot of money, both in the PC and mobile games, which also gives Orange Elephant the motivation to launch a new game this year.

But whether you can make a game that is recognized by the market depends on the fate of the game. It is not just that you can make a big hit by Orange Elephant and Li Zhifan’s brand.

"I won't say much nonsense!"

Li Zhifan directly entered the topic, "Today, we have a brand new moba mobile game released. What is moba? It is a multiplayer online tactical competitive game. The name of this game is called "Honor of Kings"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen behind him immediately lit up, and the four big words "Honor of Kings" appeared.

This is just a poster, not a game animation. When people come, they will play game CG promotional animations for everyone.

The media below began to take photos wildly. Li Zhifan put on a few looks, waiting for everyone to take the photos, and continued: "Next, I will show you a CG animation promotional video for "Honor of Kings". The production may not be as good as the game, please forgive me!"

Many people think that Li Zhifan said so.

But when the cg animation came out, everyone was shocked.

Let me tell you, this special effect and picture feel is like a blockbuster!

What's wrong?

But many people immediately thought of themselves as being fooled!
