Project Jinyiwei Looks a Little Janky, But Sony's Signed It for PS5 Anyway

Chinese developers love their action RPGs, and so we suppose it’s not real surprise to see ChinaJoy 2024 bring a flurry of them. The latest to be signed by Sony to its China Hero Project is Project: Jinyiwei, a title set during the Ming Dynasty which bears a passing resemblance to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice we suppose.

The game depicts the story of a novice soldier who grows into a fearsome warrior, and you’ll be accompanying his journey from humble origins through to its deadly conclusion. It’s targeting a release on PS5, and will be playable in PlayStation’s enormous Shanghai booth this weekend. Clearly the gameplay lacks polish in the trailer, but there’s promise here for sure.
