SwordPandaGames reveals new trailer for Sword Sage: Awakening

SwordPandaGames has released a new trailer for its upcoming third-person action RPG, ‘Sword Sage: Awakening,’ during the Gamescom 2026 Future Games Show. Published by 4Divinity, the game is rooted in Chinese mythology and folklore.

Players control Pei Sanniang, a novice disciple of the Yuangong Sect, as she battles yaoguai and deals with a thousand-year-old calamity. The combat system utilizes a ‘Cyan Evade, Red Strike’ mechanic, where cyan indicates incoming enemy weapons and red indicates the enemy's body. Players must time their movements to evade attacks from various heights before executing counterattacks.

Due to the fragility of weapons in combat, disciples can quickly forge and swap between two weapons stored in scabbards on their backs. The game features various weapon types, including three-foot swords, horse-cleaving daos, and dual blades, each with unique martial arts techniques and skills. ‘Sword Sage: Awakening’ is planned for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, though an exact release date has not been announced.
