Obb Studio is the developer of the wuxia RPG Legend of Mortal, which was released in 2024. As of July 2026, the studio has announced a major update for September 15, 2026, while the game's Japanese popularity continues to grow through a fan translation mod.
Obb Studio developed Legend of Mortal, a novel-focused RPG set in 13th-century China with an ugly protagonist, released in 2024. The game has seen a surge in Japanese popularity since December 2025, driven by a fan-made translation mod. On July 6, 2026, the fan translation group announced they are adding furigana to the mod to make the text, which features difficult kanji and unfamiliar wuxia terms, more readable for Japanese players.
On July 10, 2026, Obb Studio announced a major update for Legend of Mortal, scheduled for September 15, 2026. The update adds scenario routes for the characters Yu Xiaomei and Yu Zhu, as well as a new high-difficulty mode called Brave. This is the first significant content addition since the game's release in June 2024, roughly a year earlier.
The update and the mod's furigana addition together reflect the game's cross-regional growth. The fan mod has built a Japanese fanbase, and the studio's official response with new content suggests ongoing support for the title. The September update will be the first major test of whether the official content can sustain the momentum generated by the fan community.
