"Hey? The King of Glory 4 is the final work of the King of Kings series?"

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

All media people in the gaming industry were shocked.

Everyone thought that Boss Cao held a press conference to announce the content of the next new work, but they did not expect that such bad news would be received.

Why?

Is this too sudden?

No one can understand it very well, how could Honor of Kings stop at the number 4?

"Why? Mr. Cao, the Honor of Kings series has always been the largest IP game under Bomi. Isn't it a bit of a pity to finish it just after it was released to 4?"

But everyone has almost guessed the result-

After all, this work is definitely not ideal for Bomi. It has only been released less than 500,000 sets so far, and the number of 500,000 will likely become an eternal freeze.

However, it is normal to have ups and downs, hits and troughs. There is no need to announce that the entire King of Glory is over because of poor results, right?

The Fairy Sword series has also produced many generations, and the Final Fantasy has produced many generations, and the Dragon Quest is also...

There must be some selling well and some selling badly in the middle, which is normal.

Is Boss Cao a little too slim?

"Yes." Cao Yang put his hands on the table and leaned closer to the microphone. "Although it's a pity, we have to announce here that Honor of Kings 4 will become the final work of the stand-alone King.

From this one, we will no longer develop any single-player sequel to Honor of Kings.”

"ah?"

There was an uproar below, and countless people felt regret and sigh.

"Why, Mr. Cao, why did Bomi make such a decision? You should know that the King Series has always sold well, especially on Dongdao, which is very popular among players."

Cao Yang said a little apologetically, "In fact, Honor of Kings has been developed here, and the story to be told has been almost finished. It is very difficult to continue Honor of Kings to provide a better and more updated galgame in the future.

This series of works has been around for almost 6 years since its birth, and we have accompanied everyone through so many years.

As a game born in 2000, its worldview and things that were once considered very new have entered a period of poverty after experiencing so many generations of products.

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

Our production team made this difficult decision after careful consideration.

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

So sorry, we had 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 were actually not said to be dead, because even if a stand-alone sequel was not developed, it does not mean that the IP of Kings would be abandoned.

After all, so far, Bomi's Honor of Kings series has accumulated a large number of fans around the world, and these fans will make good conversions in the future.

It is difficult to guarantee that the former King of IP will be animated and online games in the future.

Especially online games.

Cao Yang had already thought about it and wanted to turn Honor of Kings into the 5v5 competitive model of his previous life, but it was better to develop and launch it at any time.

With Bomi's current R&D capabilities, there will definitely be no problem in making a computer version of Honor of Kings battle.

And compared to many stand-alone masterpieces, the technical difficulty of things like LOL is not high at all.

But……

Cao Yang doesn't want to take this thing out for the time being. His idea is to wait until World of Warcraft makes enough money and enter the MMO recession period, and then launch the computer competitive game of Honor of Kings.

Because as long as a game like MOBA appears, it will cause 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 more refined than MMO, but it has strong pleasure and fragmentation advantages. These are very important reasons why it becomes market hegemony.

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

...

After hearing Cao Yang's announcement, countless people's eyes had been killed.

The scene was silent.

Two seconds later, there was a noise coming from below, and people whispered, feeling incredible about the new news announced by Bomi.

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

"Yes, it seems that it was a sudden decision. In fact, I can understand Mr. Cao's feelings very much. After all, the sales of Honor of Kings 4 are not very good now."

"That's compared to the previous works? I played Honor of Kings 4 myself, and I don't think it's good or bad. It's just that it's really lacking some flavor, but it doesn't mean that Honor of Kings 5 ​​will not work in the future. Bomi can cheer up and continue to develop the next work!"

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

...

To end the King Series, Cao Yang has another plan, which is to develop a new IP.

In fact, Bomi has always walked very well now, and the King Series, Shanhai Jing Series, and Assassin Series have all achieved great success.

But to be honest, it is already a lot of people who have been released to 4, so it doesn’t matter if you continue to do it. It’s better to draw out the personnel and develop new IPs.

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

under……

It should be the era of "Gun Girl"?

Cao Yang sighed, "But you don't have to be too disappointed. Although the King Series has ended, the branch of Honor of Kings - the Destiny Series will be retained."

ha?

The reporters were stunned.

Night of Destiny was originally a work in Honor of Kings, but the special thing about this work is that it was developed by a local game company in the island country, which is a work independently completed by Shizuki Company.

Although it is also called Honor of Kings, the timeline and character settings, including the style of painting, can be regarded as another game except that the entire world view and heroic spirit settings are consistent.

However, after hearing this news, the media people received some comfort.

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

This is a damn...

Sure enough, Boss Cao usually won’t forget to promote new things when he holds a press conference.

Although it announced the end of the King Series, Boss Cao revealed several very important news at this press conference-

First, the Fate Series will be retained, but so far, the Fate Series has only released one game, namely the Glory of Kings·Night of Destiny.

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

Second, it has made a strong publicity for the newly released animation "Night of Fate" FATE/stay night of the island country.

When players know that Honor of Kings 4 is the final work, the ratings of this anime should be very high, right?

An hour later, Cao Yang answered some questions about the reporter, then left the press conference, and handed the rest of the time to Lai Yuling, the head of Honor of Kings.

Facing countless flashes, Lai Yuling felt nervous.

However, Boss Cao has finished his work, and the rest is not that important. Lai Yuling only needs to answer the reporters' detailed questions based on her own profession.

...

"What?!Bomie officially announced that Honor of Kings 4 will become the final work of the Kings series?"

When they heard this news, the players were all frightened.

"Really, fake? I'm fucking... I just bought Honor of Kings 4 yesterday. I received such bad news today. I feel like I'm not doing well."

"Really, I see that Bomi's official website has announced this news. Moreover, Cao Yang himself also said this on Weibo. It seems that Honor of Kings 4 should be the final one. This is a foregone conclusion that it can't be escaped."

"Slot! I've always liked the King's series. I've been collecting it since the beginning when King's 1 came out of the CD. I didn't expect this series to end so early?"

"Yes, yes, I also like the King Series. I didn't expect it to be gone so soon. Oh... I feel like my whole youth is over."

"Yes, the King Series has been with us for almost 6 years. This is the youthful memory of many people. When I wanted to play King 1, I had to hide in the quilt secretly, and I was beaten by my mother a lot for this."

"Are you playing King 1? Are you playing the Eighteenth version?"

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

"Oh, it's really a lot of memories. When I played the prequel, I cried because of the final ending. I always hoped that Bomi could give a better ending. Now the king has ended, it seems that my hope has failed."

"Bomie is really too cruel, right? Is the series over so early, and I can clearly release a few more models!"

"I'm fucking... 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 character and plot, but don't be too bad and ruin the classics in my mind."

...

As Bomi officially announced the end of the Glory of Kings, countless people spoke out their wishes online, hoping that Bomi could carefully consider this decision.
