Mythic Yi is coming to PC via Steam

Equalizer has published a new Steam page for their upcoming RPG titled Mythic Yi. A release window for this title has still yet to be announced, though.

An official trailer for the game has also appeared on YouTube. The Chinese studio particularly used Square Enix's trademarked HD-2D term to describe the game, which has 2D character pixels and 3D backgrounds. The trailer descriptions particularly notes that Octopath Traveler serves as an inspiration for this game.

In addition, the studio admitted that they used AI to generate some of the images that they would then modify before placing them on the Steam page. It is yet to be known whether the actual game will also have AI-generated assets or not.

You can find the official trailer and descriptions for Mythic Yi right below. This game is slated to be available in Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese (European & Brazilian), Russian, Japanese, and Korean.

Amidst the pixelated and mythical wilderness, draw your bow toward the heavens, chase the sun, and carve out your own ancient epic.

Game Introduction

"Mythic Yi" is a retro pixel-style turn-based RPG set in the primordial era when ten suns scorched the earth and chaos reigned. You will play as Yi, leading companions and wielding the Heaven-Shaking Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrows on a grand journey to slay six ferocious beasts and save humanity.

Yet, this is not the old legend you know—
• Ten suns dominating the sky: a calamity, but also a conspiracy;
• Chang'e fleeing to the moon: no longer a solitary destiny, but a heart-wrenching farewell transcending gods and mortals;
• Jingwei filling the sea with twigs: could it be that what she seeks to mend is not just the ocean, but millennia of regret?
• When the pillars of heaven crumble and the stars fall into disarray, you will personally decide the finale of this myth—or rewrite it entirely.

Game Features

• Pixelated Epic: Meticulously crafted retro visuals—wastelands, divine realms, dense forests—every frame is a living ancient scroll.

• Strategic Turn-Based Combat: The interplay of the Five Elements, celestial phenomena, and arrow skills create a dynamic yet thoughtfully paced battle system.

• Reimagined Mythology: Multi-branch narratives and pivotal choices turn gods like Di Jun, Fu Xi, and Nü Wa into allies or adversaries, altering their fates—and yours.

Draw your bow, shoot the suns;
Tread the moon, chase the tides.
This time, you hold the pen that writes the myth.
