Saroasis Studios is the Chinese game developer behind Rewinding Cadence. The studio is affiliated with Tencent Games and operates under that broader publishing umbrella for both PC and mobile distribution.
Saroasis is positioned as an anime-styled studio with a dual focus on shooters and role-playing games. Public material describes the studio as a team of more than six hundred developers with a long collective track record in the shooter category, which feeds into the precision of action-game-style combat seen in Rewinding Cadence. Members of the team have been described in industry coverage as having previously worked on other large Chinese live-service games. Specific personal credits should be treated as unconfirmed unless they are confirmed by the developer directly, since pre-launch coverage of Chinese studios is often loose with role attributions.
Saroasis Studios is also developing Fate Trigger: The Novita, a free-to-play anime-styled hero battle royale. Fate Trigger and Rewinding Cadence are sister projects under the same studio rather than a single shared universe, and the two games are aimed at different audiences: a competitive multiplayer shooter on one side and an open-world story RPG on the other.
As a Tencent-affiliated studio, Saroasis benefits from Tencent's mainland China distribution infrastructure for both Android and PC builds. The Chinese-region pre-registration for Rewinding Cadence runs through the standard Tencent-friendly mobile storefronts and the BiliGame portal, with the official Chinese-language site serving as the canonical hub. International distribution plans have not been finalized publicly, and the studio's English-language social presence is limited to its game-specific channels rather than a single corporate handle.
The studio maintains official social and video channels for Rewinding Cadence in both English-language and Chinese-language markets, alongside the Chinese-region storefront listings used for pre-registration. The studio uses those feeds for trailers, dev letters, beta announcements, and patch notes.
Saroasis Studios is described in industry coverage as a Tencent-affiliated studio. The relationship is at the investment and partnership level rather than the publisher level: storefront listings for both Rewinding Cadence and the studio's adjacent shooter Fate Trigger: The Novita name Saroasis Studios as the publisher of record. Tencent's involvement has been signaled through the studio's distribution access, its hiring profile, and its public-event placement, but the corporate filing-level relationship has not been published in detail. Until the studio publishes a definitive statement, do not write "published by Tencent" in any factual article on the wiki; treat the relationship as an investor-and-platform-partner one.
Beyond Rewinding Cadence, Saroasis Studios is also developing Fate Trigger: The Novita, a free-to-play anime-styled hero battle royale. Fate Trigger and Rewinding Cadence are sister projects rather than entries in a shared universe, and they target different audiences: Fate Trigger is a competitive multiplayer shooter, while Rewinding Cadence is a single-player open-world story RPG with co-operative companion dynamics.
The studio has not announced a third title at the time of writing. Industry coverage occasionally mentions ex-Saroasis staff working on other Tencent-affiliated projects, but credit attribution between studios at this level is loose in pre-launch reporting and should not be treated as canon.
The studio communicates through a small number of official channels, each with a well-defined role:
Official Chinese-language site: canonical hub for press kits, character reveals, and confirmed game facts.
English-language X account: global-track milestones and trailer drops in English. Lower posting frequency than the CN-track channels.
YouTube channel: English-subtitled trailers, the eight-minute and twelve-minute gameplay showcases, beta promotional cuts.
Weibo account: highest-frequency CN social channel for announcements, dev letters, and community-event notices.
Bilibili channel: video mirror of YouTube content, Chinese-language cuts, and dev-livestream archives.
Community-driven aggregator accounts that re-translate CN posts into English are useful for staying current but are not affiliated with the studio. They should not be treated as primary sources.
