Legend of Mortal received its first major content update since its 2024 release, adding new scenario routes and a high-difficulty Brave mode, while a fan translation mod continues to expand its Japanese audience with a furigana addition.
Obb Studio's wuxia RPG Legend of Mortal, released in 2024, has seen a surge in Japanese popularity since December 2025, driven by a fan-made translation mod. In July 2026, the fan translation group announced they are adding furigana to the Japanese mod, targeting readability for difficult kanji and unfamiliar wuxia terms. The game is a novel-focused RPG set in 13th-century China featuring an ugly protagonist.
On September 15, Obb Studio announced a major update for the game, the first significant content addition since the June 2024 release. The update adds scenario routes for the characters Yu Xiaomei and Yu Zhu, as well as a new high-difficulty mode called Brave mode. The update is positioned to further cement the game's cross-regional growth, particularly as its Japanese fanbase, built on the fan mod, continues to expand rapidly.
