Aftermath of PV

As the video was released, the number of plays climbed at a terrifying rate.

For the people of this world, games were only entertainment in nature, and rarely had such intricate plots, and from the content of the PVs alone, the characters in them were drawn very nicely.

Just when the world could only play some Homu games and mecha battles, the sudden appearance of games focusing on beautiful girls attracted the attention of many people.

And there are more reasons than just that...

The official Schicksal made a big deal out of this video, bringing up the welfare benefits of its Mihoyo company again and again, and making a high-profile announcement that it was recruiting talents to make the game for the whole world.

At the same time, the entire platform promoted the game's work. Similar advertisements appeared on all major platforms of Fate of Heaven, whether it was shopping, videos or novels.

"A cross-generation action handheld game! Ignite the soul of ACG action!"

"Beautiful girls, mecha, and youthful campuses, let's fight for all the beauty in the world!"

"Tech otakus save the world!"

...

Luo Mo is looking forward to these slogans' fermentation, with the full support of the destiny of heaven and the accompaniment of peers, the success of the honkai impact three belongs to the inevitable.

It is the first article of the cross-generation action hand tour to say funny, in the last life from the Honkai impact 3 opening service are several years still use this slogan, even more strange is that we all feel as if there is no problem, this is a little taut.

This is a profound illustration of the meter lulling not doing anything at the same time, the Friends also do not know what they are doing!

Anti Entropy was also the first to express their regard for the video, saying they wanted to meet with the producer in person.

The media smelled the rumor and broke the news.

[Anti Entropy Games Limited wants to have relevant cooperation with Mihoyo Company, and talks with the boss in person!]

The news of Anti Entropy Games Limited seeking a partnership with Mihoyo Company and meeting with its boss personally leaked to the media and caused a sensation.

Meanwhile, in the shady mercenary channels of the dark web, the reward for obtaining reliable information about Mihoyo's boss was rising steadily.

To those who were unaware or indifferent to the game industry, this game was a huge hit, but it had not yet become a household name. And it would only remain popular for a year and a half, right?

But as more and more people watched the video repeatedly and discussed its contents fervently, they became curious about the game.

Soon after the video, Mihoyo released another one, announcing the official website of the game and its launch date. The game would go online in three days.

Everyone who saw this news was stunned. Normally, there should be a long gap between the promotional video and the launch date of a game, at least measured by months. But Honkai Impact 3 was ready to go live just three days after its promotion. How could this be possible?

Not only the public, but also the media were baffled by this move.

The media, who were watching the video and impressed by Schicksal's support and the hype, decided to interview the boss personally. They were still writing questions and scripts slowly as they planned to assign their staff the tasks, when this news caught them off guard.

"Mihoyo is rushing to give up! Why are they so eager to launch the game? Do they think it will lose popularity? It will be profitable!"

They complained, but they had to speed up their preparations.

Meanwhile, the boss of Mihoyo, Luo Mou, who was anxious to release the game, sneezed. His game was progressing steadily, unlike others.

He said he didn't care about money, what a joke.

But his goal was not to make money. Maybe he could get more players to spend money if he delayed the game a bit, but what he needed was system currency!

Could money buy crystals? Or could it defeat Honkai? If money can defeat the Honkai, then wouldn't the money printing machine be the biggest contributor!

He wanted more people to read this story, learn something, gain something, and be touched by it. That was what a real game producer should do.

No need to thank him, just thank the hardworking writers!

As a businessman, he also knew that releasing the game earlier would earn him more support from Schicksal, who would then allow him to use more Valkyries to assist him in his mission. This would in turn increase his rating from the system, which was crucial for his survival.

He wanted to create a positive feedback loop that would benefit him and his game. He knew that the Honkai world was not a place where he could afford to waste time or hesitate.

So he chose to release the video as soon as it passed the error check, and he was actively conducting the beta testing. He only had two things left to do: add more content to the game, and finalize the card draw mode and the promotional events with the technical team. If it weren't for these, he would have launched the game the next day.

The public, on the other hand, was ecstatic. They had just finished watching the video, and their excitement had not even subsided when they learned of the amazing news.

"Did you hear?" Two male students were talking passionately.

"I heard, I heard. I can't believe this game from Schicksal is coming out so soon! And the beautiful girls, ahem, I mean mechs, are exactly what I want."

"I wonder how good the graphics are in the actual game?"

"Don't think too much, let's go to the official website and check it out."

They rushed to the official website and clicked on the webpage. They saw a huge silver battleship that seemed to fly out of the computer screen. Below the battleship was the name Huberian. The silver metal shone with a futuristic glow, creating a sense of unreality.

The deck was so polished that it could reflect their faces. They believed that if such a ship existed in reality, it would be every man's dream ship.

"Wow! Just for this battleship, I love this game!" Every man who saw this image touched the screen with their hands, wishing they could own such a ship in real life.

The two male students moved their eyes away from the battleship and scrolled down the page. They saw a button for pre-registering the game, and a young girl with white twintails holding twin guns. She had a silly smile on her face, and a sleek white combat suit that hugged her body. There were also some cat-like elements on her outfit, giving her a youthful and cute vibe.

Next to the illustration was a catchy slogan that said:

"Fight for everything good in the world!"

They decided to click on the button and pre-register the game. Then they saw a progress bar that showed the rewards for reaching different milestones of pre-registrations. The rewards would be distributed to all the players who pre-registered, and they included:

100w: 100 crystals

200w: 200 crystals + 10 supply cards

500w: 500 crystals + B-rank Valkyrie - Battlefield Gale

1000w: 1000 crystals + S-rank Valkyrie selector

The B-rank Valkyrie looked like a mature and elegant older sister, and the selector showed that there were four options to choose from.

But since the game had not been released yet, they did not know the exact names or abilities of the characters.

On the side of the official website, there was also a navigation bar that displayed the Valkyrie characters that were available in the game. Currently, there was only one character that was revealed, and it was Kiana, the armor that helped everyone through their beginner stages - the Field Suit - White Comet. The rest of the characters were just black silhouettes.

They tapped on Kiana's icon and saw a demonstration of White Comet's skills, with a small line underneath that said: (All of the above are actual animations)

According to the official website's latest news and the gameplay demo, netizens were going crazy online and discussing the game fervently.

"Some people are still skeptical about the game's quality. They wonder if it's just a hoax or a scam." Some people doubted the authenticity of the game.

"How can you be so naive? This is not some unknown company, this is Schicksal. And this is not just a normal promotion, this is a massive campaign led by Schicksal's headquarters. Do you think Schicksal would risk its reputation for a game?" Someone immediately countered.

Schicksal Group was the largest conglomerate in the world, with its businesses spanning across various fields, such as medicine, electronics, manufacturing, and more. It was even said that some countries' defense, weapons, and armaments depended on Schicksal's supplies. Its power and influence were unmatched.

If it was just a subsidiary of Schicksal, it might not mean much.

But this time was different. It was Schicksal's main branch that initiated the project and mobilized all its resources to support it. This caused a huge sensation in the world.

The most plausible rumor was that Schicksal had noticed the progress made by Anti Entropy Entertainment in the gaming industry, and decided to invest a huge amount of money to develop a game that would surpass all expectations and challenge Anti Entropy's dominance.

After all, Anti Entropy and Schicksal had been rivals for a long time. Anti Entropy Entertainment was a rising star in the gaming market, with its base in North America, and its popularity in some regions rivaling that of Schicksal.

It was rumored to have split from Schicksal, but it had managed to compete with Schicksal in some aspects.

Especially in terms of gaming, Schicksal was losing its edge, while Anti Entropy was leading the trend.

So it was not unreasonable to assume that Schicksal wanted to make a comeback with this game.

Besides debating about the truthfulness of the game, most people were more interested in the game's graphics.

you know what, just break the limit!!!
