A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei, formerly known under the working title Project: Jinyiwei, is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by CangMo Game Entertainment. It will be available for the PlayStation 5[2] and PC.[3]
Plot
[edit]The game takes place during the Ming Dynasty and features a Jinyiwei protagonist who gets drawn into a conspiracy related to the events of the era.[4][2][5]
Gameplay
[edit]A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei is an action roleplaying game.[6] It heavily features stealth and assassination mechanics.[4][5][7] The player can move silently, climb vertical walls, climb onto roofs, and perform assassinations from behind, and the game is designed for players to sneak through parts of the levels.[8][5] The core combat system consists of common mechanics such as "block", "rebound," "execution" and "Dodge" as well as managing the player's "True Qi" and "Inner Breath."[8] True Qi increases when a player successfully counterattacks or breaks enemy attacks.[8] Running out of True Qi makes the player more susceptible to damage.[8] Inner Breath is a stamina bar that is used up when evading attacks.[8] There are multiple weapon systems in the game, including swords, guns, and double knives.[8] There is martial arts combat as well.[8] The game will feature multiple side quests.[1]
Development
[edit]CangMo Game Entertainment was established in 2022 with an initial investment from Hometown Interactive.[9] The company consisted of six people in January 2024.[1] Development is headed by Liu Qiwei, also known as Li You, who previously created the game JianPo, which released in 2021.[10][11] In July 2024 CangMo joined PlayStation's China Hero Project, which is run by Sony Interactive Entertainment Shanghai.[2][12][5] In August 2024, it received another round of funding, with Shanghai Yingche Network Technology Co buying 25.8% of the shares.[9] The game was developed in Unreal Engine 5.[1][13] It was featured in ChinaJoy 2024.[14]
In late 2024, the studio decided to upgrade the project from an indie-level production to an AA-level production.[15] As the previous plan had a smaller scope, the developers originally expected a development cycle of two years.[15]
