Wangyue is an unreleased urban open-world pet-raising RPG from Xingchen Studio, currently in development with no confirmed release date or global launch plan.
Wangyue is an urban open-world action RPG from Xingchen Studio that has drawn attention in Japan before its release. The game is set in a modern Chinese city where humans coexist with monsters called Moon Spirits (Yueling). Players can capture and train these spirits, form a party of three characters, and explore the field using motorcycles and roller skates.
The game underwent a major visual overhaul. A development letter posted in October 2025 announced a shift from traditional anime-style visuals to realistic 3D graphics and textures, based on feedback from a beta test held that year. The change initially drew criticism from Chinese players, but a new gameplay trailer released on May 29, 2026 showed a significant visual upgrade compared to footage from 2024. The trailer reached 5.7 million views on bilibili in two days, generating cautious optimism.
An offline trial event was scheduled for June 19 to 21 in Guangzhou, China, with participant recruitment open from May 29 to June 11. The game uses Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline. It is not yet clear whether Wangyue will see a global release. The game is one of several Chinese-developed titles generating domestic buzz and may eventually compete with or complement the Japanese market's open-world and RPG offerings.
