Chapter 235 - Announcement Conference (1/2)

In the shadow of the hype surrounding Thousand Hells, there was another news brewing in the videogame industry.

Chen Mo was hosting a video game release conference and invited many videogame media too.

ALthough there hadn’t been much leaked about Chen Mo’s game, there were still traces of the game among videogame industry professionals.

IT could be a VR game, which was in development for over seven months.

And they didn’t know anything else.

Many videogame media could tell something fishy was going on.

If it was a VR, meaning Chen Mo’s first VR game, it would be a huge deal.

Chen Mo entered the PC game market using Warcraft while he was still a B-grade videogame designer. Warcraft’s huge success whipped up a storm in the RTS gaming industry, and even sold well overseas.

Everyone was curious to find out what Chen Mo’s first VR game would look like.

Moreover, the timing matched perfectly with YAn Zhenyuan’s Thousand Hells.

In theory, the two games could release in July or August.

Why could Chen Mo pick this time?

Evidently Chen Mo knew that Thousand Hells would affect his sales. However, as he didn’t plan to delay his release, he clearly wanted to go head to head with Thousand Hells.

There was a lot of discussion among videogame journalists.

“Have you heard about Chen Mo’s videogame conference?”

“Of course, I’ve heard of it ages ago. I think most video game media have heard of it, and the senior editor already had me prepare questions.”

“What do you think Chen Mo is going for? Going head to head with Emperor Dynasty Entertainment? He’s quite bold to release the game at the same time!”

“Thousand Hells more or less copied Diablo, of course he’s not happy with that. Don’t you get Chen Mo’s personality? Has he ever let anything slip?”

“You’re saying, ‘copy my game, I’ll beat you up’ kinda deal?”

“Something like that.”

“You’re joking! To be honest, sure there’s no doubting Chen Mo’s mobile or PC games, but he’s never made a VR game!”

“I think so too, moreover his previous opponents were all A-grade video game designers. He’s facing Mr. Yan this time around, probably one of the most stable S-grade videogame designers in China. Moreover Thousand Hells is incredibly high quality, what if Chen Mo loses this time?”

“Maybe Chen Mo think’s it might be more embarrassing to lose after postponing the release of the game, and that’s why he’s forcing the release.”

“But he hasn’t even announced the release date. Nobody would know he had delayed the release of the game if he just shut up for another two months!”

“That’s true, that means Chen Mo is incredibly confident?”

“PErhaps. One more thing, Chen MO’s game should only be in development for six months? He was still working on Reaper of souls last November. What kind of VR game could he make in seven months?”

“Yeah, from various sources, Yan Zhenyuan had been in the works for a year. Chen Mo had half the time and still dares to go head to head with Thousand Hells?”
