Overview

  • The Gamescom Opening Night Live trailer showcases flashy visuals, fast-paced real-time combat, puzzles, and magitek creatures across the continent of Primaera.
  • Attendees can try the first public hands-on on the show floor via a PC demo with mouse-and-keyboard and controller support.
  • TiMi has not announced a specific launch date, setting a 2025 release window on PC and consoles.
  • Developers emphasize cultural storytelling intended to introduce Chinese history and mythology to new audiences while preserving its core essence.
  • Lead combat designer Big Huang called ONL the ideal moment to share a first taste, as early hands-on impressions praised combat depth and flagged rough English lip-sync in the demo build.
