Publishing
CangMo Game Entertainment is the studio of record on the Steam storefront entry, listed as Chengdu Cangmo Information Technology Co., Ltd. for both developer and publisher. The PlayStation Store concept listing instead credits Sony Interactive Entertainment, reflecting the game's inclusion in Phase 3 of PlayStation China Hero Project.
In April 2026, 4Divinity, the games publishing arm of GCL Global, first entered a memorandum of understanding with Chengdu Cangmo for worldwide publishing rights. On June 18, 2026, the two companies signed a definitive publishing agreement that formally appointed 4Divinity as the exclusive global publisher and distributor of the game across PC and consoles. Under the agreement, 4Divinity leads worldwide publishing, marketing, localization, and distribution, with the title targeted for a simultaneous launch on PC and game consoles in 2027. The arrangement operates alongside the existing China Hero Project support rather than replacing it.
Developer Background
Development is led by CangMo Game Entertainment (成都苍墨信息科技有限公司), headquartered in Chengdu, China. The studio was founded in 2022 with investment from Hometown Interactive. Development is led by Liu Qiwei, also known as Li You (离忧), who previously created JianPo (剑魄 / Souls of Blades), a Souls-like action RPG released on Steam on September 22, 2021. As of January 2024, the team consisted of 6 people.

Editions and Pricing
No information about special editions or pricing has been announced. The game is a premium, buy-to-play single-player title rather than a live-service or free-to-play release; director Liu Qiwei has said the one-time-purchase model suits the kind of self-contained, content-driven experience the studio wants to build.
