At BilibiliWorld 2026, Chinese publisher 4Divinity let attendees play two action games: Sword Sage: Awakening, a Xianxia title with a parry-counter system, and A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei, an RPG set in the late Ming Dynasty. Both are pitched as appealing to FromSoftware fans.
The annual Shanghai ACGN festival BilibiliWorld 2026 drew 400,000 visitors across three days. Publisher 4Divinity brought three playable titles to Hall 4.1, with two in particular catching the attention of action-game fans.
Sword Sage: Awakening trades the stamina bar and dodge roll of Sekiro for a stance-based parry system called Biqing Ruhong, where the player directs the right stick to match enemy attack angles. A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei casts the player as a double agent in the Ming secret police, switching between fighting styles as a true qi gauge fills. Trial players noted the high difficulty of Sword Sage but praised its exhilaration.
