- Black Myth: Wukong has sparked a wave of creativity among Chinese developers.
- Many new projects have been announced, with the standout being CrisisX.
- CrisisX is an ambitious survival game featuring a 1,200 km² map spread across 12 distinct biomes.
Following the launch of Black Myth: Wukong, Chinese developers have been emerging rapidly with exciting new projects. Among the most anticipated titles is Phantom Blade Zero, a title that has already captured the attention of many players worldwide.
Now, another Chinese developer has revealed a trailer for an ambitious survival game, CrisisX, which boasts a massive 1,200 km² map and servers capable of supporting up to 5,000 players.
Why it matters: China’s gaming industry is rapidly evolving and making significant waves on the global stage. With such large-scale and innovative projects, Chinese studios may soon challenge Western developers for the industry’s top spot.
This game is truly ambitious, boasting a colossal 1,200 km² map, even larger than DayZ’s biggest terrains. The trailer highlights engaging survival mechanics like tree chopping, base building, zombie combat, and PvP encounters.
But this world isn’t big just for the sake of scale. CrisisX features 12 distinct biomes, ranging from dusty Western-style towns and hidden laboratories to snow-capped peaks and rushing rivers, each offering unique flora, fauna, resources, and hazards.
As a survival game, the arsenal is impressive: expect everything from melee weapons and pistols to sniper rifles, RPGs, grenades, and even armored vehicles like M2 Bradleys or WWII-era Sherman tanks. Foraging, resource gathering, and crafting feel grounded too, with environments affecting your hunger, thirst, muscle mass, and overall vitality as you strive to stay alive.
Players can form guild-style groups, teams, or communes to compete for territory and strategic resources. This group warfare element promises faction conflicts on a grand survival MMO scale.
The best part? CrisisX is free to play, though specific models for monetisation (such as cosmetic microtransactions or optional DLC) haven’t been clarified yet. A release window is set for 2026, with plans to launch across PC (via Steam), Android, and iOS platforms.
So far, CrisisX has only been confirmed for PC and mobile platforms (iOS and Android), with no official word yet on console versions. Additionally, Hero Games is showcasing the title at Gamescom 2025, where attendees can get hands on experience.
