Games based on Chinese mythology are becoming more numerous. Company Genigods Lab from the Middle Kingdom presented Genigods: Nezha — a single-player action-RPG set in Chinese creation myth lore.
World in Chaos
In Genigods: Nezha, god Pangu fell into eternal sleep, plunging the world into chaos. The heat of ten suns transformed the earth into a grim desert, other deities wage merciless wars tearing the sky apart, and terrifying monsters crawled from the abyss.
Spirit Pearl Protagonist
The narrative centers on the Spirit Pearl — goddess Nüwa's first creation, made from earth, water, and fire elements — reborn as legendary Nezha. The protagonist must reassemble the heavens, uncover the truth about her origin, and descend into the abyss to seal space-time rifts devouring the world.
Combat Between Black Myth
The announcement trailer provides first impressions of gameplay and combat system. The protagonist switches between ground and aerial combat styles while actively using water element abilities. According to developers, Genigods: Nezha's mechanical difficulty will be somewhere between Black Myth: Wukong and God of War. The team insists the title is not a soulslike.
Genigods: Nezha releases on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2028. The project is built on Unreal Engine 5.
