Code To Jin Yong – Gameplay trailer shows martial arts fighting in the best wuxia style
This can be seen: A martial arts match in which two people compete against each other. Not only do they rake themselves extremely effectively with their swords, but they also apparently rely on supernatural abilities such as wind attacks or a giant type of ghost hand.
Of course, this fits perfectly with the Chinese wuxia genre of the author, which is already in the game title. We also learn that Code: To Jin Yong will offer an open world and will be developed in the Unreal Engine 5.
What is Wuxia and who is Jin Yong? Wuxia is a classic genre of Chinese fantasy stories. In it, martial artists experience sprawling adventures in historical China, but peppered with supernatural elements. The author Jin Yong is probably the most famous author of such stories. Roughly speaking, we owe him the models for many famous films such as Hero, Tiger & Dragon, Forbidden Kingdom, House of the Flying Daggers, The Curse of the Golden Flower or Kung Fu Panda . One of the best-known games that can be attributed to the wuxia genre is probably Jade Empire.
