Announcement: "Chronicles of Chivalry: Samsara" Now Available
Title: The Journey is Long, Thanks for Having You

Greetings, Heroes of the Martial World!

We are the development team behind Echoes of Yi Samsara—a small indie studio of just eight members. After months of anticipation, our game is finally ready to meet you!
Price: 78 RMB (66 RMB during the first week with launch discount).Global Release: April 18, 2025.

We fully acknowledge that compared to AAA titles like Black Myth: Wukong or Phantom Blade, we’re still mere minnows in the vast ocean of game development, constantly learning and growing. But our passion for action games burns fiercely. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a wuxia-inspired world filled with Chinese-style combat and storytelling.

Echoes of Yi Samsara is not just a game—it’s a labor of love and a tribute to every player who has supported us. Without your encouragement, we would never have reached this milestone.

We believe sincerity bridges hearts. Through this project, we hope to share our dedication and the countless hours we’ve devoted to crafting this experience.
The journey is long, but with you by our side, every step feels meaningful.

P.S. As a small team, we know the game may have imperfections. We warmly welcome your feedback and will strive to improve, ensuring a better experience for all!

With gratitude,
The Echoes of Yi Samsara: Samsara Team

On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the production team of "Samsara" offers our sincere wishes and blessings to all the players who love and support us! On this joyful day, we not only want to thank everyone for your companionship and encouragement over the past year, but also excitedly announce an inspiring news - the brand new character, the dancer WanQing, is about to make a stunning appearance, and more exciting content is in preparation. Stay tuned!

Looking back on the past year, from the initial release of the DEMO to now, it has been exactly 365 days. "Samsara" has undergone countless iterations and sublimations during this journey. Whether it's the meticulous art design, the intense combat system, the smooth execution moves, or the rich expansion of the storyline, they all embody the hard work and wisdom of our team. Now, we are busy with the final audio optimization and dubbing work, striving for perfection in every detail. We believe that a more splendid and colorful world of "Samsara" will soon meet everyone.

In this upcoming feast, the dancer WanQing is undoubtedly the brightest scenery. To shape this character, we deeply explored the essence of Chinese style and cleverly integrated opera elements into it. The addition of martial actor and clown roles not only enriches the game's character system but also adds a strong cultural heritage to WanQing's story. We know that the vitality of a character lies in its uniqueness and storytelling, so with the help of friends, we successfully obtained the music license for the classic song "Chiling".

The melody of "Chiling" is sorrowful and moving. To perfectly present the fusion of music and character, we were fortunate to invite performers from the Shanghai Theater Academy. They not only designed a water sleeve dance for WanQing but also participated in motion capture work, portraying every dance move and every look vividly. The water sleeves fluttered lightly like floating clouds and flowing water, and WanQing danced gracefully on the stage, seemingly traversing time and space to narrate the dust-laden story. This innovative attempt not only makes the character of WanQing more vivid but also adds a rich touch to the game's storyline.

During the creative process, we witnessed Wanqing's transformation from the initial concept setting to the present vivid form, with every detail reflecting the team's pursuit and love for art. From the exquisite clothing design, repeated deliberation on dance moves, to the emotional interpretation of voice actors, every step strives for perfection. We believe that when players witness Wanqing shining on stage, they will be deeply attracted by her charm.

Looking ahead, "Samsara" will continue to uphold the spirit of craftsmanship, constantly explore and innovate, bringing more exciting content to players. We know that it is the support and suggestions of players that drive us forward, so we want to express our sincerest gratitude to every player here. May everyone be healthy, happy, and write our legendary chapter with "Samsara" in the new year.

The dancer WanQing, with a song called "Chiling", is waiting to meet you. In the world of "Samsara", there are more unknown stories waiting for you to explore, and more exciting characters waiting for you to meet. Let's work together and look forward to this future full of infinite possibilities!
