Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

During this period, "World of Warcraft" has also been promoted.

For example, the map in the game: Azeroth.

Compared to the Azeroth map scroll that only flashed in the first promotional video.

There is a more complete map on the official website.

Thunder Bluff, Stormwind City, Ironforge, Silvermoon City, Exodar...

These place names that are familiar to players, and some that were not mentioned in the previous "Warcraft", including Nebula World, did not appear in the world, but only appeared in front of players as a collection of content.

At the same time, in Nebula World, many players also found that more content was unlocked.

For example, some NPCs can talk, and players can find out some rumors on the road of Azeroth from their mouths.

A little bit of information is released, and it can be said that many players are excited.

There are even many players who are too excited to choose to return to the PC platform to experience a wave of "Warcraft" again.

After so many years, the screen performance of "Warcraft" is no longer the first echelon.

However, the rich RPG map still makes many players a little addicted to play.

Even thanks to the excitement of the news of "World of Warcraft", this six-year-old game has once again become the game with the largest number of simultaneous online players under the Nebula game platform.

And just when players were discussing when "World of Warcraft" would come out and whether it was a cake drawn by Chen Xu.

Players who once again boarded the Nebula World in Universal VR were immediately excited.

Because there is new content.

And what excites them is that compared to the previous promotional videos.

The object in the CG animation this time can be said to be a very familiar object to them.

The familiar man, whether he liked it or not, he woke up.

In reality, 6 years have passed, and Alsace, who has only passed 4 years in the game, reappears in front of the player.

At this time, Arthas has successfully merged with the power of the Lich King.

It also announced that he officially bid farewell to his past.

He is the new Lich King.

'child……'

'When you were born. ’

'The forest of Lordaeron whispers your name...'

'Alsace...'

Under the helmet of dominance covered with ice and snow, a pair of eyes flashing with blue light suddenly opened.

At the same time, the frozen ice on Arthas' armor also began to crack.

Arthas wakes up!

The next moment the camera turned, a world covered with ice and snow appeared in the field of vision.

The sky in the distance was bright and dazzling on one side and dull on the other, which seemed to symbolize light and darkness.

But the wind and snow hit, obscuring the sky.

Every sight is pale, and there is not a shred of life on the entire ice field.

In the vast world of ice and snow, the awakened Alsace walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff.

In this snow-covered world, he is the only one.

Arthas came to the border, and now Arthas, who had transformed into the Lich King, slowly crouched down.

He stretched out his right hand to sweep away the snow on the ground, revealing the ice below.

Then, as if he felt something, he stood up from the ground and lifted the cloak of his cloak. At his waist was the famous artifact that made Arthas become the Lich King—Frostmourne.

At the same time, the background sound sounded again.

It was the voice of Arthas' former father, the old king Terenas.

'child……'

'I am proud to watch you grow up day by day. ’

'Be the personification of justice. ’

With the appearance of the voiceover, Arthas slowly waved Frostmourne.

Light shone from the tip of Frostmourne's sword.

The world began to tremble, and the snowstorm on the snowfield grew even bigger.

Then Arthas inserted Frostmourne into the ice.

Powerful power erupts from Frostmourne.

The ice layer on the ground cracked, and the endless power was transmitted to the bottom of the ice layer.

This powerful force even formed an ice and snow storm.

Accompanied by a crunch and a thud.

A terrifying skeletal monster burst out of the ice.

The faint blue light enveloped the skeleton of the whole body, like a flame.

This is a dead dragon. She was seriously injured and could not fly to the Dragonblight to rest in peace. She could only die on Icecrown Glacier in despair.

And the full hatred in its heart made the Lich King feel it.

So under the powerful and evil power, Sindragosa, the blue dragon who had died, turned into a frost dragon at this moment and saw the light again.

It climbed to the top of the snowfield, flapped its bone wings and let out a roar that shook the sky, and then jumped up and hovered above the snowfield.

'You have to remember that we have always ruled this country with wisdom and strength. ’

'I also believe that you will use your powerful power cautiously. ’

At the same time, the dead soldiers buried under the ice, turned into undead warriors, broke through the ice and roared like Sindragosa.

Under this vicious and powerful force, these long-dead soldiers are revived and sworn allegiance to their supreme king.

"But...the real victory is to inspire the fighting spirit in your people's hearts"

'I tell you this, one day my life will come to an end. ’

The frost dragon crawling behind him, countless undead warriors who are undead and hardworking.

The camera finally freezes on Alsace's face.

Dead eyes without emotion, white hair floating in the air.

'And you, will be crowned king. ’

As the old king's words fell, the screen immediately plunged into darkness.

The old king's prophecy was like a singer full of flags, all of which did not come true.

Only this last sentence: [Coronation as king].

But it is not the king of Lordaeron that the old king expected, but the new master of the undead natural disaster.

The Lich King who is about to conquer all of Azeroth.

…………

This several-minute CG animation is a promotional video for the Wrath of the Lich King in the previous life "Warcraft Direct".

In the official version, Chen Xu would naturally not evolve directly into Wrath of the Lich King.

Instead, it will still be updated slowly according to the earliest time point, but it will be optimized on the system, and then the content will be shown to the players little by little, including various groups, new occupations, races and higher levels.

But although it is a follow-up plan, there is no need to consider so much in publicity.

As for the pancakes?

As a game designer, is it too reasonable to draw a cake?

And the content of the version of Wrath of the Lich King, players will be able to see it sooner or later.

It's just a little bit late in time.
