It will be released on July 17th and pre-sale will start on February 1st.
To be honest, Laobai Studio's operation surprised everyone.
Of course, what surprises everyone is not that pre-sales started five months in advance. After all, this is a routine operation for many big IPs of game giants, and there is nothing surprising. Some highly anticipated games start pre-sales even as early as
It's longer than this, Wu Zhigang has seen it last as long as eight months.
What surprised everyone was the release date and pricing of "Lao Bai Qun Xia Zhuan 3".
July 17th is obviously a time to catch up with this year's summer vacation, when all middle school and college students have a holiday and can play games to their heart's content.
The purpose of putting it on the shelves during the holidays is unpredictable.
and……
All predictions are that "The Legend of Lao Bai Qun Xia 3" will not be released until the beginning of next year at the earliest. Why is it now half a year ahead of schedule?
As for the pricing, it’s even more surprising.
Four hundred and ninety-eight!
Strictly speaking, this price is not particularly exaggerated, especially when compared with Japanese games. Although it is among the more expensive ones, it is definitely not the most expensive!
but!
Yes, a but must be added here!
Games produced by Huaxia have never been priced at this level!
Especially considering that "The Legend of Lao Bai Qun Xia 2" was released two or three years ago. How much did it cost at that time? It has doubled this time!
So even as a die-hard fan of Lao Bai, Wu Zhigang hesitated after seeing this price.
He definitely wanted to buy one for himself. There was nothing to hesitate about, even if it was 998. But he originally wanted to buy one for his girlfriend, but now that he saw the price, Wu Zhigang was a little hesitant.
Or buy a set and then two people can play with one?
Compared to his hesitation, his girlfriend didn't think much about it. After seeing the price, she immediately exclaimed: "Four hundred and ninety-eight? So expensive? Wasn't the last time only two hundred and ninety-eight?"
"Well, yes."
After thinking for a while, Wu Zhigang suddenly laughed and said: "However, Laobai Studio also issued an announcement, saying that the plot of the third part is richer than the previous two parts combined, and the map is several times larger... I think, four
One hundred and ninety-eight is not expensive, let’s buy one set each!”
In just a few seconds, Wu Zhigang made up his mind.
No need to say, you must buy it!
If not for anything else, just because Mr. Lao Bai has never deceived his fans, Wu Zhigang has no reason not to believe in Lao Bai Studio!
And he just remembered that "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3" is still an online game!
In other words, after finishing the single-player story, you can also play online with your girlfriend or brothers. For example, you can rob darts together at a game show, or protect darts together. It is very interesting when you think about it...
Compared to Wu Zhigang, other players are not calm when faced with the pricing of "The Legend of Lao Bai Qun Xia 3"!
"Four hundred and ninety-eight? Who gave them the courage to set this price?"
"Is it too expensive? This is already the price of a world-class masterpiece. Is Laobai Studio so confident?"
"Haha, this is too inflated!"
"The sales of "Lao Bai Qun Xia Zhuan 2" are so good, people think we will definitely pay for it!"
"For four hundred and ninety-eight yuan to buy a domestic RPG, I might as well use it to buy two world-class masterpieces! Gee, a lot of classic IPs only cost more than two hundred yuan, right?"
"This is to deceive fans and harvest wheat!"
…
Of course, there are those who talk about monsters and ridicule them desperately, but most of them express their support.
"Haha, four hundred and ninety-eight is too expensive? If it's too expensive, just play a browser game. That one is free!"
"I don't like hearing this. It turns out that only foreign games can be priced at 498, but not our domestic ones? How many years have you been kneeling? Are your kneecaps broken?"
"The games made by Teacher Lao Bai, let alone 498, must be bought even if they are 888! People dare to set this price, which shows that Teacher Lao Bai has confidence!"
"That's right, just look at Teacher Lao Bai's previous works and you will know. When has he cheated fans out of their money? Is that funny?"
"I placed an order and bought two sets, one digital version and one physical collector's version!"
""Why are there so few collector's editions? You can't get them!"
…
"At present, there are indeed many people who have opinions on pricing."
The next morning, Chen Fengzhi knocked on the table and said with a smile: "The main reason is that Four Hundred and Ninety-Eight is too impactful. The pricing of Huaxia Games has never reached this level, so many players accepted it for a while.
That’s all.”
When these words came out of Chen Fengzhi's mouth, they looked very artistic.
Can't accept it?
Haha, obviously there are just a lot of people yelling and cursing, okay?
Chen Maolin naturally knew this very well, but he just smiled and waved his hands and said: "Let them scold them as they please. Anyway, if a game like "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3" is still priced at more than two hundred... no, even if
I can’t even accept a price of more than 300! If it was according to my temper, this game should be priced at 698!”
If there were outsiders present, they would be shocked after hearing what Chen Maolin said!
Four hundred and ninety-eight has already broken the pricing record of domestic games. If it were six hundred and ninety-eight, wouldn't it be scolded to death?
It's a pity that no one knows, so Chen Maolin continued: "The price of four hundred and ninety-eight... To be honest, if it weren't for the strong objection of the boss, I would never agree! "The Legend of Lao Bai Qunxia 3" will definitely cost more than six hundred
To qualify, even if you are wearing the hat of a domestic game, more than 500 yuan is enough!"
"Haha, who says it's not?"
Chen Fengzhi had no objection to what he said and immediately nodded along.
As the two most important giants of Laobai Studio, they know their "children" very well. Naturally, they know that "Laobai Heroes 3" is the top game in the world, and it can definitely compare with any masterpiece.
That’s right! In this case, if others can sell it for six to seven hundred, why can’t “The Legend of Lao Bai Qun Xia 3” be sold?
However, this opinion was firmly rejected by the boss.
And according to Sun Peng, the price of the game should be 298, so that all players can afford it... Ahem, at least it should be bought without feeling distressed.
However, this opinion was opposed by everyone, and finally came to nothing.
Four hundred and ninety-eight, it’s really not expensive.
And seeing Chen Maolin still looking angry, Chen Fengzhi suddenly said happily: "It's okay, just sell it cheaper. Anyway, I can continue to make money online in the future... By the way, every DLC will cost money in the future."
You have to spend money to buy it, even if the price is not high..."
