Press release:
YUNNAN, China – June 1, 2026. Indie developer ConchShip Games is thrilled to announce that The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome will officially leave Steam Early Access and launch as V1.0 on June 17, 2026.

Blending ancient Chinese mythology, deep sandbox RPG systems, and sprawling martial arts storytelling, The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome has already attracted more than 3 million players throughout its eight-year Early Access journey, becoming one of China’s most acclaimed indie RPG experiences. Now, for the very first time, the complete Taiwu experience will launch with full English language support*, opening the gates of its vast martial world to players across the globe.

The V1.0 release marks the culmination of years of development and community-driven refinement, delivering the definitive version of the Taiwu saga alongside three brand-new storylines, enhanced NPC A.I., a redesigned user interface, expanded gameplay systems, and countless improvements shaped by player feedback throughout Early Access.

“We can hardly believe seven years have passed since The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome was first released into Early Access,” said Zhen Jie, Founder of ConchShip Games. “It is only through the unwavering support from our passionate community that we have made it this far, and we are thrilled to share the martial world with long-time supporters, newcomers, and English-speakers alike!”

Set in the mythological land of Shenzhou, players step into the role of the mysterious heir of the Taiwu clan, tasked with confronting Xiangshu, an ancient evil threatening to plunge the world into endless chaos. Every playthrough unfolds in a completely procedurally generated world filled with rival martial sects, dynamic NPCs, hidden techniques, dangerous enemies, and life-altering choices.

Freedom sits at the heart of the experience. Players can forge alliances or blood feuds, master thousands of martial arts techniques across numerous sects, build and expand their own Taiwu Village, craft powerful weapons and medicines, raise families, and pass their knowledge down through generations. Every NPC lives an evolving life of their own, aging, forming relationships, falling ill, and reacting dynamically to the player’s actions, ensuring that no two stories ever unfold the same way.

Combat in The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome combines strategic positioning, inner Qi cultivation, weapon mastery, and realistic martial arts principles inspired by traditional Chinese combat philosophy. From swords and fists to poison-infused weaponry and hidden techniques, every battle demands careful planning, adaptability, and skill.

Beyond its expansive RPG systems, the game also blends roguelike progression, settlement management, crafting mechanics, simulation gameplay, and even nostalgic diversions such as cricket fighting competitions, creating an experience unlike anything else in the genre.
