93: Section 93
“The one upstairs, what are you joking about? Dota Mobile can be slapped in the face by this Honor of Kings? Although I also hope that more MOBA mobile games will appear on the market, for Honor of Kings to surpass Dota Mobile, it probably can only happen in the next life.”
“You’re still here commenting, hurry back and fix bugs.”
After Honor of Kings released its information and announced that it would be in open beta in half a month, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
Many people are paying attention to this new MOBA mobile game that is about to enter open beta.
However.
Whether it was players following Honor of Kings or others outside.
Almost no one was optimistic about Honor of Kings’ prospects.
Although some players felt that the software produced by Junzi Group would not be too bad in quality and should be able to snatch some users from Dota Mobile.
As for Honor of Kings truly catching up to and surpassing Dota Mobile, they also felt that it was simply impossible to achieve.
After all.
No matter from what direction, Honor of Kings clearly had no ability to compete with Dota Mobile.
Being able to snatch a portion of players was already good enough.
Even within the Junzi Group’s Honor of Kings department, most people’s idea was that being able to snatch a portion of Dota Mobile’s users was already considered a success.
They also had no confidence in this game.
Among everyone.
Only Wang Mo was completely unconcerned about Honor of Kings.
Because only he knew how exaggerated Honor of Kings’ potential truly was.
In this world, all enterprises in the Yan Country gaming industry believed that the user base for mobile games was only around 50-60 million, and this number was the upper limit for mobile game monthly active users.
But what they didn't know was.
His Honor of Kings from his previous life had daily active users already exceeding 100 million!
The two were not on the same level at all.
However.
No matter how the outside world viewed Honor of Kings.
The news that Honor of Kings announced its upcoming open beta did indeed make countless players notice this new game that was about to challenge Dota Mobile.
Even though most people felt that this game would definitely be beaten by Dota Mobile without any power to fight back.
Many players still planned to try out this game after it was released.
For a time.
The number of pre-registered users for Honor of Kings easily exceeded one million.
However, everyone understood that a number of pre-registered users didn’t represent anything.
This only showed that there were more people currently paying attention to Honor of Kings.
Whether Honor of Kings could retain players after it went online was the most important thing.
At the same time.
After Honor of Kings announced its upcoming open beta, Douyin also began to vigorously promote and publicize Honor of Kings.
Because Douyin's daily active users have now exceeded 150 million, becoming the hottest software in Yan Country, its promotion effect for Honor of Kings was also quite exaggerated.
In a short time.
The number of pre-registrations for Honor of Kings had already approached five million.
This number was already quite exaggerated for the mobile game industry in Yan Country in this world.
However.
All the video footage promoting Honor of Kings on Douyin was CG, without any actual in-game footage.
This was Wang Mo’s request.
He planned to maintain the mystery of Honor of Kings until just before its launch.
And as time quietly passed.
One week.
Two weeks.
Time quickly arrived half a month later.
It was a Saturday, and most students and office workers were resting at home.
And on this day, at nine in the morning.
Honor of Kings officially opened its servers!
Chapter 76: Comparison of Two Games, Soaring Number of Honor of Kings Players!
“Here it comes, here it comes, I want to see what this game relies on to dare challenge Honor of Kings.”
“This login interface is alright, but I don’t know what the game is like inside.”
“I hope this game can really compare with Dota Mobile.”
“I’ve entered the game!”
The moment Honor of Kings officially opened its servers.
Countless players across the country logged in immediately.
Although the number of registered users for Honor of Kings at the first moment was far less than that of Dota when it opened, there were at least hundreds of thousands of players ready to try this new game.
At this time.
None of these first batch of players to enter Honor of Kings would realize.
What terrifying achievements this game they were about to try would ultimately create.
At the same time.
While many players were entering Honor of Kings.
An elite team of lawyers within Penguin Group also downloaded the game and entered it.
However, their purpose was not to play the game.
But to collect data on heroes and equipment in Honor of Kings, preparing to sue it.
This elite legal team was already one of the top legal teams in Yan Country.
In the past few days, they had already organized all the hero skills and equipment characteristics in Dota.
Next.
They only needed to find similar heroes and equipment in Honor of Kings.
As long as the number of similar heroes and equipment exceeded sixty percent of the total number of heroes and equipment in the game.
They were confident they could successfully sue!
One must know.
Penguin’s internal team had estimated Honor of Kings’ situation, and they speculated that at least eighty percent of Honor of Kings’ heroes were copied from Dota.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete development in just over three months.
So this sixty percent ratio seemed easy to achieve.
Just as this legal team entered the game to fully collect evidence.
Countless players across Yan Country also poured into Honor of Kings!
At the same time.
In a university dormitory in Modu, Yan Country.
Several university students who had nowhere to go on the weekend were lying flat on their beds.
On one of the beds, various shouts kept coming from it.
“Hurry up, hurry up, kite around the trees!”
“How can this person be so stupid, they don’t even know how to deny, the opponent has already opened tower defense and they still forcibly auto-attack a low-health tower, got killed back, right?”
“Lost again.”
After a loud curse.
This person poked his head out from the bed.
“Old Third, Old Second, you guys hurry and download Dota Mobile and play with me, it’s too hard to play alone.”
Listening to his voice, Old Third directly shook his head.
“I played it when it just launched, this game is too difficult and not suitable for a clumsy player like me.”
