Snail Games USA has opened the Steam page for 9 Yin Sutra: Immortal, its open-world sandbox cultivation game built with Unreal Engine 5. The field spans 1,600 square kilometers, roughly 2.5 times the size of Tokyo's 23 wards and about 2.4 times the area of Lake Biwa. Players start as ordinary humans and train through mystical arts, exploration, and survival to reach immortality.
The game supports single-player with optional online co-op. Core systems include flying sword travel, a building system with varied architectural styles, rune inscribing to imbue objects with power, spatial arts that shrink and store objects, and a refining system for artifacts, elixirs, and talismans. Cross-platform progression is planned. Development is ongoing, with a PC release on Steam prioritized and other platforms to follow.
