[Perhaps it was the surprise when I first saw Guda, the Judge of Ashes, or the shock that made King Xin unable to move for five consecutive times. With the unique physical destruction engine and graphics of the Golden Engine, Black Soul is undoubtedly the top wolf game in the world today—

[Perhaps it is Golden Wind's unique plot narrative method and the ultimate fragmented hidden narrative. The obscure and grand story is split into gentle narratives between the lines, which makes the plot's excavation and depth reach unprecedented heights. Although and
Sekiro is produced by the same studio, but its grand world view and richness of side stories have far surpassed Sekiro - SLGamers (9.9/10)]
[Perhaps it is an encounter full of hope and a regretful ending. Life is never perfect. If you want to save the world, you must save yourself first. Maybe this is the unique charm of the golden wind. Everyone tells you to become useful to the world.
When you are a human being, the golden wind reminds you not to forget yourself. The real courage is to face life with an optimistic attitude - Tiantian Youbao (9.9/10)]
[Perhaps it’s the Golden Wind’s attitude towards games. From Cat Leo to Dark Souls, in the past four years, the progress of the Golden Wind has been obvious to all. They are like the ashes chasing the flame, walking in this originally desolate land.
In the game world, he helps passers-by complete their missions, and at the same time continues to move towards the throne of the King of Games. However, unlike Black Soul, the Golden Wind is now walking in the deep sea era without fire, and that

【……】
The comprehensive average score of all media is 9.9!
Dual-platform player reviews have received rave reviews!
As the second "wolf" work after Sekiro, it is also the beginning of the series.
"Dark Soul" not only continues the quality of the trial demo, but also shows a more majestic game world on this basis!
If the Ash Judge Guda in the demo is enough to shock you, then when you step onto the top of the ancient dragon to face the unknown king, you will be completely conquered by the unparalleled blue thunder and the domineering power of the dragon fighting in the wild.
If the elite Bugatti Veyron in the demo is enough to make you feel difficult, then when you meet the Ice Knight, the torturous frostbite and unpredictable body skills will completely shatter your confidence.
The shock is more shocking than the demo, and the pain is more painful than the demo.
It's more moving than the demo, and it's more profound than the demo.
The grand story background is supplemented by obscure narrative techniques.
Coupled with the high-difficulty game settings that are unique to wolf games, and the unparalleled sense of accomplishment brought by players' improved skills.
For a time, there were endless discussions about Dark Souls.
Some players are discussing missions.
After all, in the first experience, it is almost impossible for players to complete all the branches in the game. The casual game experience of the first experience has caused many players to miss a lot of plots, and some people even did not reach the top of the ancient dragon.
Some players are discussing items.
Like Sekiro, many things in Dark Soul are also hidden in strange nooks and crannies. It cannot be said that it is difficult to collect them all in one week. It can only be said that it is completely impossible. But the more this happens, the more difficult it becomes.
It can stimulate players' collecting habit, so players will share their experience of collecting items from every nook and cranny, even if it is just a worthless enemy skull.
Some players are discussing adding weapon points.
Compared with Sekiro, the weapon selection in Dark Souls is diverse. Players can choose to be a knight with both offense and defense, a macho man with a sledgehammer, a noble magician, or an acrobat who specializes in playing elite.
and the small toys dropped by the BOSS.
Of course, there was also discussion of the plot.
Storytellers who are extremely curious about the background story dig deep into the origin of the world after fragmented narratives, the game between the various forces, the struggle between the fire spreading faction and the fire extinguishing faction, and even the origin and background of NPCs.
In this atmosphere, many "soulologists" were born.
The multi-level game design makes this game full of replayability and stimulates players' enthusiasm for game research.
And at this moment!
For this game, there is another person who is even more enthusiastic than the players -
…
China.
Golden wind.
Office of the Chairman.
Shen Miaomiao was sitting on her boss's chair, with her two slender thighs raised up on the desk, half lying down, with a lollipop in her mouth, looking carefree.
Hanging on the computer in front of you is the backend statistics page of China Entertainment Electronics.
In the blink of an eye, the game has been on sale for four weeks.
Normally, at this critical moment, Shen Miaomiao would have concentrated on staring at the screen, secretly burning incense and praying to Buddha that the sales figures of the game would not increase again.
But now.
But she looked contented and contented, as if she had already won.
You ask me why I am suddenly so contented and not panicked at all?
ha.
Because there is no need for me to panic!
After all, I will definitely make a profit from this investment!
And right now!
Just listen to the phone ringing!
time up!
The official version of "Dark Souls" will be released for four weeks!
Not a minute too much, not a minute too little!
Project settlement!

Arrival!!!
Wuhu!!!
Take a moment!
Shen Miaomiao excitedly chewed up the lollipop in her mouth and waved her hands, wishing she could raise her arms and shout!
An angry loss of 1.412 billion U.S. dollars! A profit rebate of 2.744 billion U.S. dollars!
This old system is so exciting!
This can no longer be regarded as picking up money, this is simply printing money!
Money printing press?
Money printing factory!
Wushuang is just trying to have fun, and to really print money, you have to have a system!
It’s really great with rebates!
The most important thing is that with the blessing of the system's surreal and magical technology, such huge and even crazy income can be guaranteed to be all legal and legal, and will not be investigated and investigated because the source of the huge assets is unknown. Confuse!
In one month, 1.8 billion directly turned into 2.7 billion!
Cool--!!!
certainly!
While exclaiming that the rebates are fun, Shen Miaomiao was also deeply shocked by the appeal and influence of Lao Gu Games today!
You know, the reason why this rebate receipt costs so much is because she acquired 23.22% of the equity of Phoenix Engine for 1.8 billion U.S. dollars.
This is the fundamental reason why she is not worried at all about the failure of the rebate and is waiting to collect the money.
If this part of the investment is excluded, the total cost is 2.02 billion minus 1.8 billion, and the total cost of "Dark Soul" is 220 million dollars.
Overall, this investment is definitely not low.
Although it is slightly lower than the $235 million cost of "Battlefield: Rise".
But don’t forget, Battlefield was jointly developed by two major studios, Gold Experience and Melancholy Blues.
The labor costs of the two major studios are very high. After all, the overall salary of the three major studios of Golden Wind and the operation and maintenance department has far exceeded the average salary level in the industry, and is even higher than the highest in Europe and the United States and other countries and regions. Salary levels are high.
In other words, if you look at the "cost of developing a work by a single studio" alone, this "Dark Soul" is their most expensive project so far.
The cost of 220 million US dollars, if 25% of the platform commission is excluded.
So to achieve a return on investment, the game’s sales would need to reach a full $260 million.
It seems like a terrifying sales volume that is insurmountable.
But in fact……
The system is always so kind to Lao Gu.
Shen Miaomiao complained secretly in her heart.
Why don't you give Lao Gu a whole four weeks to sell? Do you want to see what his results are?
Six hundred and forty-eight million dollars!
Calculated based on the pricing of $60 per serving.
In just one month.
"Dark Soul" has sold 10.8 million copies on both Yiyou and Polar Bear platforms!
Sales exceed 10 million in a single month!
what does that mean?
…
"This means that our industrial joint measures have begun to bear fruit..."
at the same time.
In the conference room.
Gu Sheng, who was sitting in the first place, said:
""Dark Souls" is our first work based on United Engine technology,"
"And its total sales of over 10 million units in a single month are enough to prove the correctness of our path,"
"The comprehensive performance of the industry-integrated game engine has allowed us to achieve unprecedented progress, and the speed is jaw-dropping,"
"This is the success of our industry joint initiative, and it is our most exciting phased achievement since "Payday" to "Dark Souls"——"
Wow——
As Gu Sheng's words fell.
The Golden Wind executives present applauded one after another, and their faces were filled with joy, full of fighting spirit and hope.
Payday to Dark Souls.
From this time period, it is not difficult to judge that what Gu Sheng is talking about is the development and achievements since the establishment of the "Golden Engine" project.
For Golden Wind, the establishment of the Golden Engine project is indeed a turning point that is enough to reverse their development path.
Even from a certain perspective, they still have to thank Vivendi and Yunwei.
After all, if Weiwangdi had not secretly given instructions and Yunwei had not interfered, they would not have been "forced to fight back", thus creating the current situation.
Amidst the applause, Gu Sheng nodded slightly and continued to say:
"And this perfectly fits our initial assumptions and gives us full confidence,"
"Let us continue to march towards the [Golden City]..."
