Amidst the sarcophagi and the pile of corpses, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding French swords slowly stood up, their dark red cloaks stained with blood swaying in the wind behind them.

"And the king of seclusion and the city of sin—the giant Yum."

Wearing armor and a crown, Yum, with a tall and majestic figure, slowly stood up with a huge sword in his hand, looked into the distance, and let out an earth-shaking roar.

At the same time, flames burst out from his body and began to burn.

Accompanied by Yumu's roar.

The screen fell into darkness and the narration began again.

On the burning stone platform, a crown-like eye mask was held up by a pair of jade hands.

"In reality, the king will eventually abandon the throne, and those who fail to pass on the flame will rise."

In the unclear image, the young woman kneeling in front of the stone platform placed the crown on her head.

There were countless dry bones around her.

"A nameless undead being burdened with a curse isn't even qualified to be firewood."

In the darkness, the flames still burned.

A woman wearing an eye mask was dragging a corpse and moving slowly forward.

"And precisely because of this, the fireless ashes long for the remaining fire."

The next moment, the video stopped abruptly, and the four big words "Dark Souls" appeared.

Along with Wang Chuan, the promotional video of "Dark Souls" was released.

This content-rich promotional video has also sparked heated discussions among countless players.

"Sure enough, this is a Western fantasy game!"

"Looking at the art and atmosphere, it has a bit of a medieval feel, but also a dark style!"

"I feel like this should be an ARPG type of game, right?"

"But is there anyone who can analyze this video? I don't quite understand it. It seems to reveal a lot of information, but my little brain isn't enough~~"

"I won't talk about anything else. It seems that the promotional artwork that Mr. Wang released earlier were all of boss characters. That handsome swordsman seemed to be called the Fran Undead Squad."

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. When the game comes out, I'll finish it as soon as I can and I'll know for sure!"

After watching the promotional video, many players started heated discussions.

But again, apart from the names and images of some bosses, there are many things that players don’t understand.

For example, what is the Lord of Cinder mentioned in the game? What does "Flame" mean? And what exactly happened in the world of "Dark Souls"?

These things were only revealed in a few words in the promotional animation.

It's like a beautiful girl wearing a miniskirt, it seems like something is exposed, but when you look closely, you can't see anything.

Instead, it adds a touch of temptation.

Wang Chuan didn't feel surprised about this. After all, "Dark Souls" is completely different from other games.

It adopts a fragmented narrative technique.

Even if the players have completed the game, they can only play roughly.

Moreover, Wang Chuan did not show much in the promotional video.

It mainly revolves around a story of Soul III, as well as the even more ancient First Fire Era.

The Sun King Gwyn, the Witch, the Tomb King Nito, as well as Manus, the White Dragon, Seath, etc. were not mentioned at all.

They will only truly appear when the content of Soul One is developed later.

It can be said that the "Dark Souls" promotional video released by Wang Chuan online is like throwing a marble into a calm lake.

It created a huge wave.

Countless players discussed various topics based on this promotional video.

After all, it is produced by Wang Chuan, and it may be an ARPG-type game masterpiece.

In addition, Wang Chuan became famous thanks to "Warcraft", which is also a Western fantasy game.

Therefore, for the game "Dark Souls", many players repeatedly watch the two-minute video and analyze the content.

First of all, judging from the subject matter, it obviously has a European style, and also has the shadow of the Ragnarok myth.

Especially in the game, some fragmented clips shown give players a feeling.

That is the world, it seems like the end of the world.

There aren't even any normal creatures left.

Among them, the fire that is mentioned repeatedly is a very core point.

It seems that the player's responsibility in the game is to spread the fire, which has been confirmed on Wang Chuan's personal account before.

At the same time, a promotional video of the game also left players a little confused, because it first said that the flame was extinguished and the Fire King needed to come forward.

This means that the King of Fire must be related to the so-called fire.

But in the end it says that the Lord of Fire will give up the throne. This should mean that the Lord of Fire will allow the flame to continue. What might the price be?

This also leads to the salary kings being unwilling to take responsibility.

In addition, these salary kings, in the promotional video, each of them looks like they are not easy to deal with.

So the players also used their imaginations and actually guessed some of them.

"So, players might be acting as the Firebearer, capturing the Cinder Kings who are unwilling to fulfill their duties and forcing them to do so?"

“It feels very likely!”

"I suspect this so-called fire is a form of power, and this fire gives the Cinder King great power."

"But if you want the fire to continue, you need to make the Fire King lose his freedom in a certain place. Although he has the throne, he has no freedom. However, the Fire King wants to gain freedom, but he doesn't want to give up his power."

"What about the so-called Fireless Man? What's going on?"

"It could be other enemies encountered along the way. The player plays the role of a fire bearer. They either have to bring back the Cinder King to continue the flame, or bring back the Cinder King's fire. There's also another cursed being who wants to seize the flame. After all, isn't that how it's played out in the movies?"

"Why do I feel like this shouldn't be such a simple and melodramatic story?"

"We'll know when the time comes, but the worldview of Dark Souls is really quite exciting. It feels like the Ragnarok of the Gods in Norse mythology~"

"I feel that the story of Dark Souls, from what I've seen so far, seems to be more profound than the story of Warcraft."

"It's different. The entire world view of Warcraft is actually just the tip of the iceberg, such as Dalaran, the Lich King and the Burning Legion. I feel like there is still a lot of content that has not been excavated~"

“That being said, I like dark stories like Dark Souls more.”
