This year's Halloween and Double Eleven events were very successful.
First, player activity increased, and second, the sales of various games rose significantly.
Although a lot of benefits were given out, they were all carefully calculated by the finance and marketing operations teams.
Also, thanks to the stimulation of various events, countless players cut off their hands again.
But that's okay, after all, there will be more events later to let players grow their hands back.
During this time, "Resident Evil" became the most talked-about game of the event.
But unlike games like "Outlast" and "Silent Hill PT," which brought extreme fear,
In the second half, players were more interested in the game's story and resource management gameplay.
Coupled with the DLC content, many players who accepted this horror gameplay became very curious about what would happen next.
On Lucas's official blog, these players were frantically asking questions.
"Speaking of which, will there be a sequel to 'Resident Evil'? After playing the whole game, I feel like this game is digging pits everywhere!"
"+1, I feel the same way. There are so many hidden details. Joe Baker has a notebook that reveals that similar things happened a long time ago."
"Uncle Joe's DLC news wasn't that exciting, but Chris's DLC was explosive! The predecessor of the reorganized Umbrella, and the Alliance are all huge pits! And what is BSAA, and what Chris has experienced, these are all huge pits!"
"Yes, and Ethan and Mia don't seem to be living happily ever after. There must be something more to the story!"
"So, is Boss Lucas even drawing a picture for this horror game? Is he drawing a picture for the next game before this one is even out?"
"I wonder if Boss Lucas will give an explanation!"
Players online were hotly discussing related topics.
Inside Nebula Games, Lucas was looking at the content discussed by players online with a smiling face.
As expected, the players didn't disappoint him. They completely noticed the content he deliberately buried.
"So Boss Lucas, will there really be a sequel?" Rachel asked curiously beside him.
Because the new project currently being made inside Nebula Games is definitely not a sequel to "Resident Evil."
The gameplay is still unclear, but at least the art style is definitely not.
"Yes, Boss Lucas, you buried so many big pits in this game!" Anna also asked Lucas curiously.
"Of course there will be a sequel. The pits in the game are just Easter eggs for the players," Lucas said with a smile.
"So this is another drawing of a big picture?" Marcus beside him twitched his lips.
Since joining Nebula Games, Marcus has discovered the unique features of Nebula Games.
Aside from the explosively high work efficiency under Lucas's leadership, the biggest feature is drawing pictures.
And the pictures get more and more outrageous every year.
In the past, when drawing pictures, the project was already in development, for example, the promotional video was already being made or had been made.
Later, when drawing pictures, the new folder had just been created.
"Giving players something to look forward to can't be called drawing pictures, right?" Lucas coughed lightly twice.
Regarding the "Resident Evil" series, Lucas's plan is to be as careful as he is with "Assassin's Creed."
As for why he released Ethan's story first, instead of Chris in the mansion or Leon in the Raccoon City police station,
No matter what's right or wrong, just put all the blame on Umbrella.
But what is the origin of Umbrella?
That's a mystery. Until the appearance of Resident Evil 7 and 8, it can be said that the origin of Umbrella was arranged.
Of course, even with that arranged, "Resident Evil" still has a huge world view and countless plot holes that Capcom hasn't filled.
He could count countless things with his eyes closed, such as the organization that hired Wang's aunt, and the family in Resident Evil 6.
They only have the code names 'organization' and 'family'!
So Lucas is also planning to start with Ethan's story in order to better introduce Umbrella, Chris, and later Leon.
Faced with the players' various expectations, Lucas didn't pretend to be dead, but replied.
But the content of the reply made many players want to rush into Nebula Games and have a real PK with Lucas.
The message replied on the official blog was very simple.
'Regarding the sequel to "Resident Evil," there are no corresponding plans for the time being, but in the near future, Ethan may once again bring his legendary story.'
It very clearly told players that there is definitely no sequel now, but there may be one in the future. As for how long this future is? Then you can guess slowly.
This left many players speechless.
If he doesn't have any plans for a sequel in the short term, why did he dig so many pits? And what's up with that video that looks like a sequel trailer?
Faced with the players' concerned greetings, Lucas is now very used to it. Looking at the players' comments, Lucas smiled, then turned off his phone, stretched, and looked at Hector and Rachel and others beside him.
"Next, in addition to the art content for the new project, we can put the cooperation and updates for the VR theme on the agenda."
"Also, I have one more thing to tell you, but you should already know, that is, the construction of the new headquarters is going smoothly. In another two years, we should change our workplace, and we won't be moving again easily this time," Lucas said with a smile.
Over the years, Nebula Games has continued to grow and expand. There are many studios overseas, including branches in major cities such as Magic City, the capital, and Jinling in China.
Although the size of this headquarters seems a little large based on the information released at the time.
This is mainly because in addition to the employee office area, there are also other plans.
That is, the corresponding technology research and development departments, such as AI and other technology-related departments, will be moved here.
In addition, there is also a theme park open to players.
In recent years, Nebula Games' IPs have not only been in the game field, but also in comics and other peripheral products.
The most outstanding of these is "Minecraft," and Nebula Games' IPs are fully capable of supporting the plan for a theme park.
And Nebula Games also needs a landmark facing global players.
At that time, each of Nebula Games' IPs will have a place in the theme park. Players can personally wander around Mount Massive Asylum, and in the evening, enjoy a hearty dinner at the Baker family's farm, and there will also be special script experience projects, allowing players to truly play Ethan and experience a real, authentic, one-day tour of the Baker farm.
Hearing what Lucas said, everyone was a little excited and started talking, but soon the excitement faded.
After all, it's still under construction, and the park construction site is not open to the public. As employees of Nebula Games, they don't know what it looks like there right now.
Compared to the headquarters park, which is still a few years away, the new project at hand is what they are more curious about.
Because so far, besides the art requirements and knowing that the background may be related to Cthulhu mythology, everything else is completely unknown.
Well... not completely unknown, that is, the character that players play in the game should be very handsome, as can be seen from the clothes given to the players.
The style is a mix of steampunk and the Victorian era, with a top hat and a windbreaker cloak, which is extremely cool.
