Sony’s trying really hard to stimulate the console development scene in China, and in addition to its adaptation of Monkey King: Hero Is Back, it’s also partnered with a bunch of developers to bring brand new content to PlayStation VR on a global basis. As part of its ChinaJoy 2017 press conference overnight, it revealed four new titles, so read on to learn a little more about all of them:
Stifled
Similarly to the recently released Perception, you can only see properly when making sound in Stifled. This means that, playing as protagonist David Ridley, you’ll need to create noise as you traverse the game’s horror world – utilising either objects found within the game or PlayStation VR’s built-in microphone. Of course, the more sound you make, the more you’re likely to attract the attention of enemies, so it’s a risk/reward system that promises to heighten tension as you weigh your need to see against remaining undercover.
Kill X
Kill X is a first-person shooter set on a secret island, where you need to investigate horrifying experiments that are being conducted on human subjects. With puzzles and plenty of firepower, you’ll need to take down the release’s mutated inhabitants – and get to the bottom of exactly what’s been going on.
Legion Commander
A real-time strategy game that implements card collecting mechanics, in Legion Commander you’ll need to assemble your deck in order to forge a team capable of overcoming the enemy.
The Walker
The Walker sees you assume the role of a distant descendant of the ancient Fangxiang family, whose distinctive specialty in swordplay and sorcery has not been lost to time. You’ll be tasked with taking down a demonic militia using a combination of spells and melee combat. Set in Shanghai, this one is promising a spot of virtual tourism – well, in between larger-than-life boss battles, of course.
Do any of these take your fancy? Are you excited to see more software coming out of China? Let us know in the comments section below.

Hoping that these games will turn out well. The problem I have with the PS4 when it comes to chinese games, is that is doesn't have one good chinese game. It has Koi, but it was nothing, but a glorified port of a chinese mobile game with no improvements other than prettier graphics; it had Ace Banana, but was a barely-playable, ugly and repetitive rail shooter; it got Pixel Gear but while it was better than Ace Banana, it still lacked any content (local co-op was a nice addition though); and then there's Weeping Doll and Dying Reborn, which are probably the worst games Oasis Games had to offer. Don't know if it was Oasis games' fault for localizing some low budget indie games instead of localizing the actual good ones.
@SoulsBourne128 I think it's still early days for the scene over there to be honest. Mortal Blitz is quite well liked I believe; I think that came out of China?
@get2sammyb Yeah, Mortal Blitz is pretty decent but I think it is a Korean game (like with 3on3 freestyle), not a chinese game.
Although, these is one decent chinese PS4 game and that's probably Knights of Valour. Sadly, it was only available on European stores, and the American release is yet to happen (which I really hope it happens because the online is pretty dead, and it needs to be released worldwide with region-free servers if we want everyone to play the game).
Cool, interested in all of them except Legion Commander.
