Project: Jinyiwei is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by CangMo Game Entertainment. It will be available for the PlayStation 5.
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.
Project: Jinyiwei heavily features stealth and assassination mechanics and has also been described as souls-like. 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. 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." True Qi increases when a player successfully counterattacks or breaks enemy attacks. Running out of True Qi makes the player more susceptible to damage. Inner Breath is a stamina bar that is used up when evading attacks. There are multiple weapon systems in the game, including swords, guns, and double knives. There is martial arts combat as well. The combat system has been described as overly feature-full and complex, at least in the current demo version. The game will feature multiple side quests.
