Press release:
YUNNAN, China – June 17, 2026. Following eight years of development and community-driven evolution, indie developer ConchShip Games is proud to announce that The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome has officially left Steam Early Access and launched as V1.0. Having already captivated more than 3.4 million players, the acclaimed sandbox RPG phenomenon now opens its doors to a global audience with full English language support for the very first time.

Blending ancient Chinese mythology, deep life simulation systems, strategic martial arts combat, settlement management, and emergent storytelling, The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome has become one of China’s most ambitious and celebrated indie RPGs. V1.0 represents the definitive version of the experience, introducing a wealth of visual, narrative, and gameplay enhancements while welcoming a new generation of players into the sprawling martial world of Shenzhou.

To celebrate the launch, ConchShip Games has released ‘The Origin of Taiwu’ trailer, the game’s stunning opening cinematic, offering players a first glimpse into the myths, conflicts, and legends that await within one of the most expansive martial arts sandboxes ever created.

“The V1.0 launch of The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome far exceeds the scale we originally imagined when the game first entered Early Access eight years ago,” said Qiezi, Game Producer at ConchShip Games.

“What began as an ambitious vision has grown into a living martial arts world shaped by millions of players and years of community feedback. We are incredibly grateful for the support that has brought us to this moment, and we are thrilled to finally welcome English-speaking players into the world of Shenzhou as we begin the next chapter of Taiwu’s journey.”
