A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei, a martial arts espionage action RPG set in the late Ming Dynasty, was playable at Bilibili World 2026. The trial focused solely on combat, teaching parry, deflection, and technique switching. Players faced a two-phase boss fight against a Jinyiwei officer who transforms into a fire-wielding enemy.
The trial version of A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei at Bilibili World 2026 offered two martial arts schools: Taichu Guixuan Sword and Qianqiu Blade Technique. Players could switch between them mid-combat using LT + X or B. The core loop involves parrying enemy attacks with LB just before impact, then deflecting with a left-stick input to break the enemy's stance. Filling the enemy's stance gauge triggers a San Gong state, leaving them open for a heavy RT attack. However, a normal attack in that state cancels the opening, adding a layer of risk. The final trial stage pitted players against Deng Yang, who after a first defeat becomes Fire Blade Tai Sui, attacking with twin flaming blades that demand precise parries.
