Dive Into Jin Yong's World of Wuxia Martial Arts With Tencent's Latest Game

If you’re a fan of Chinese author Jin Yong‘s works of wuxia martial arts novels and you also love gaming, you’re now in luck: the country’s gaming giant Tencent is currently working on a game titled Code: To Jin Yong. Set to be the first Unreal Engine 5 title from Lightspeed Studios — the company behind both mobile versions of PUBG and Apex Legends — the new AAA title will be based around Jin Yong’s legendary works, bringing his fantastical world of martial arts to life.

As you can see in the trailer above, the game captures the flowing, superhuman fighting style that the esteemed author is so well known for, combined with exceptional graphical detail and effects. Of course, you’ll also be able to do more than swing weapons around, with characters wielding special abilities such as wind manipulation.

Unfortunately, the game is still in its early stages of development, so much is left to be revealed, including a release window or what platforms it’ll be on. For fans of Jin Yong, definitely stay tuned for more updates to come.

Elsewhere in gaming, Blizzard is looking to acquire Spellbreak developer Proletariat to help boost efforts on World of Warcraft.
