The game, developed by Game Science, is celebrated for its stunning visuals and cultural depth, featuring real-world locations from China, particularly Shanxi Province. It has quickly become one of the most successful Chinese-made games, with a record-breaking number of concurrent players on Steam, second only to PUBG, and over 4.5 million copies sold at launch.
