A PC closed beta test is accepting participants until July 16.
The city of Sylvania is the star of Shirogane no Shiro. Built on a resource called Silver Liquid, the Victorian-style metropolis is rendered in Unreal Engine 5 with a realistic look, while characters remain in an anime style. The blend is seamless, and the city is photogenic from every angle. Players can explore on foot or ride a pegasus for aerial views. Combat is action-oriented: four characters are swapped in battle, with parry and dodge mechanics keyed to enemy attack colors. The game is one of the most impressive new anime-style titles at Bilibili World 2026, and the hands-on impression suggests the gameplay visuals surpass the promotional videos. A PC closed beta test, the Dichotomy Test, is open for sign-ups until July 16.
