What we know

Wccftech reported from NetEase’s Gamescom 2026 presentation that the city hides martial arts masters in seemingly ordinary people; its examples are a man playing with a yo-yo and a neighborhood masseuse. Finding them helps the hero get new abilities, weapons and allies.

Game Informer, summing up the same materials, writes that combat is rooted in real martial arts such as Shaolin kung fu and that players can seek out various masters to learn new fighting techniques. Wccftech adds blade techniques to the styles.

The official site presents Tie Shan, a martial artist from Longqi Village shown sparring with the Captain; NetEase hasn’t said whether he is one of the hidden masters. How many masters there are and where to find them, NetEase hasn’t said either.
