Justdan International has shifted its development focus to the Tang Dynasty with a new turn-based RPG titled Tianji: Shadow of the Ancients. This announcement matters because the studio brings a veteran director from the Xuan-Yuan Sword series to lead the project, signaling a serious effort to capture the historical fantasy market. Players looking for deep, strategy-heavy combat in a historically rich setting now have a clear target for the 2027 release window.
Xuan-Yuan Sword creator leads Tang Dynasty RPG across four platforms
