Chapter 97 All in the bag
Surprised!

Su Deqiang was really shocked!
No.

Aren't these the same kids from Fate/Zero? They're all grown up! And... the game will tell their stories?
What does the previous main view mean?
Thinking of this, Su Deqiang immediately clicked on the main view, and the website jumped to the secondary page.

[Ten years ago, during a catastrophe that nearly destroyed the world, Emiya Shirou was saved by the magician Emiya Kiritsugu and became his adopted son.

Ten years later, Shirou is practicing magic every day to fulfill his promise to his late adoptive father to become a 'partner of justice'.

One day, Shirou was drawn into a duel between magicians known as the 'Holy Grail War'...

Just jumped.

Su Deqiang saw this introduction which could be called a standard expansion... He was stunned for a moment, then scrolled down the page.

The following is an introduction to the characters.

Shirou Emiya: An orphan adopted by the 'Magician Killer' Kiritsugu Emiya ten years ago, and one of the participants in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Rin Tohsaka: Daughter of Tohsaka Tokiomi, heir to a family of magicians, classmate of Shirou Emiya, and participant in the Fifth Holy Grail War
Matou Sakura...

Not only is there an introduction, but also familiar and beautiful dynamic portraits.

In fact, when the website was first launched, these characters already had portraits, but at that time their portraits all looked like children.

However, their portraits at this time all show their grown-up appearances.

At the same time, they are no longer supporting characters in "Fate/Zero", but have become the protagonists...

There really is a sequel!
But this sequel is no longer a comic... but a game?

"Isn't it?"

Su Deqiang was already feeling unsatisfied, and when he saw the introduction of the characters, a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face.

But he soon felt something was wrong... How could it be a game? Is this really okay?
Looks like this is a direct sequel!

Why don't you draw comics!?

Think of this.

He immediately switched back to the homepage and clicked on the first game main view, which was exactly the same layout.

This time, however, we're mainly introducing the main storyline of the game. In a world without the future, players become the Master, leading characters called Heroic Spirits back to the past and embarking on a journey known as the quest for the Holy Grail...

Su Deqiang didn't recognize any of the characters in the game. It was obvious that they were all new characters in the game.

He took a quick glance and his attention was quickly drawn to the 'Gameplay Introduction' jump button at the bottom.

Su Deqiang clicked immediately and the page jumped again.

Plot summary, battle system, servant enhancement...

Su Deqiang slowly looked over. After about half an hour, he looked up with a look of astonishment on his face. "Is this... a mobile game!? This picture is a mobile game!? No, I think the closed beta players mentioned this, but how can it be done so well? And what are these things that look like card faces? How do you play this? Making the character illustrations into a game? Collecting cards? Isn't this an online game? Eh!?"

It looks like a unique game introduction.

Su Deqiang was confused, very confused.

But after seeing the actual art of the game and the exquisite illustrations, he had to admit that he was tempted and wanted to play it...

After all, this world of two-dimensional games that focus on art has not yet appeared.

This thing is really attractive to an old 2D fan like him.

not to mention……

Su Deqiang switched back to the previous page and looked at the introduction page of the direct sequel to "Fate/Zero" and swallowed his saliva.

Is this really something I can resist? I just finished Fate/Zero and I'm still wanting more! And there's a direct sequel to the game? The art is amazing... and the gameplay is unlike anything else on the market.

This is totally impossible!
While thinking about it, Su Deqiang immediately clicked on the information section to see when the game would be released. When he saw that the game would start an open beta in three days... it was possible to pre-download it now.

He swallowed again, and then... couldn't help but click the download button.

……

at the same time.

Anime-related forums, Fate-related content...it's completely wiped out!

A discussion on the final episodes of Fate/Zero! The impact of the first game's second installment! And the hype surrounding a direct sequel to Fate/Zero!

...the combination of these three factors has truly ignited the influence that Fate/Zero has accumulated during its run. "Wow...I was wondering why the ending of Fate/Zero left me wanting more! There's actually a sequel! But why is it in the game!!!"

"Yeah! Why don't you continue drawing comics!?"

"Making a sequel in a game? Is that even possible?!"

"Have you seen the gameplay description? A mobile game!? And what does this gameplay mean? Collecting cards? Turn-based? I saw the description even had images related to Noble Phantasms? Can this be done on a phone? Can a phone really handle it?"

"Isn't it an online game? Why is the gameplay different from existing online games? But to be honest, the art is great!"

"Mobile game!? Isn't this just some fake stuff?"

"What kind of game is this? Why is it like this?"

"The ending of Fate/Zero is so sad... Luckily there's a sequel, but the game..."

"I don't like games! I want to read comics!"

"..."

Whether it is praise or criticism.

In short, most of the 2D circle is discussing this matter.

At least "Fate/Grand Order"... is quite famous in the two-dimensional circle!

In fact, this is already half the success, because as the first second-generation game, as long as there are enough players, there is no need to worry about not making money.

At this time, the heat was actually far from reaching its peak, after all, it was early in the morning.

The next day.

Avalon Studio released the PVs of two games on its website...the popularity has truly reached its peak!

Two pvs.

The first one is the game's world view PV, which didn't do much... just made the burning Fuyuki City and let the blackened Saber contaminated by the Holy Grail appear.

The second one is the PV of the observation line "Fate Stay Night". It didn't do anything. It just let the characters who didn't die in "Fate/Zero" make a brief appearance and let the new and old heroes appear alternately.

But how can the readers resist it!!!

They had just finished watching Fate/Zero!! This was the peak of the manga's influence, and releasing a PV like this was simply hitting readers' sensitive spots.

When you see the blackened Saber with armor dyed black, an eye patch, a grim expression, and holding the Sword of Promised Victory in both hands, standing in the middle of a raging fire.

When I saw the famous scene of Shirou Emiya and Saber meeting in the warehouse appear on the screen.

The dividends brought by the comics...were seamlessly transformed into the popularity of the game, and it completely exploded.

For a while.

Related discussions can be found in all forums and groups related to the second dimension.

The game has a kind of...an atmosphere that captures all the popularity of the second dimension.

The entire industry is taking notice.

Even some gaming companies that have nothing to do with the ACG industry have taken notice... and are shocked.

Because it's too outrageous. Without any large-scale marketing or publicity, just relying on an excellent comic, how could it be able to attract such a large group of people? How could it achieve this level?
And this group... seems to be quite interested in games?
Mobile game?

In an instant, many producers from major game companies became interested.

However, the game has not yet been officially launched, and it is still unknown what the final outcome of the game will be like and whether it can make money, so only some producers are interested in it.

Most people at gaming companies just laughed it off.

Just treat it as a fun thing, sigh and think it's a good idea and then move on.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Avalon Studios for the time being.

Most of the staff at Avalon Studios didn't have the energy to care about what their 'seniors' thought...

Ever since the website was revamped and the public beta began, everyone in the studio has been keeping an eye on the pre-download volume of the game "Fate/Grand Order".

And the result... is gratifying!
Especially after those two PVs were released, the number of pre-downloads for the mobile game…started to skyrocket!!
