Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
4Divinity and Haotang Technology released gameplay footage for The Defiant, an FPS set during the Sino-Japanese War. The game depicts the conflict from the Chinese perspective, a rarely covered angle, set in 1930s and 1940s China. The footage shows intense battles and cinematic sequences. The game is planned for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The new footage for The Defiant moves the project from announcement to playable form. Players run through gloomy streets and war-ravaged villages, with the trailer leaning on high-quality graphics and tense cinematic sequences to sell the heavy atmosphere of the resistance.
4Divinity and Haotang Technology are framing the game around a perspective the genre has seldom taken. The Sino-Japanese War is set in China during the 1930s and 1940s, and the developers are presenting the conflict from the Chinese side rather than the more common Japanese viewpoint.
The Steam store page lists Japanese language support, which suggests the developers expect an audience beyond China. The Defiant is scheduled for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
