A Modern Retelling of an Ancient Mythological Epic
Celestial Oath takes place in a mythical age following the creation of humanity and the restoration of the heavens by Nüwa, the ancient Chinese goddess of creation.
In this era, the world of the Great Wilderness is overrun by demons, monsters, and malevolent spirits. Inspired by the Five-Colored Divine Stones left behind by Nüwa, humanity embarks on an epic journey to reclaim its homeland and restore peace to the world.
Echoes of Ancient Eastern Civilization
The game's character designs draw deeply from the symbols, legends, and traditions of ancient Chinese culture.
Players begin as a Commoner, representing ordinary people and embodying the traditional Chinese philosophy that "the people are the foundation of the nation."
Three distinct character classes—Warrior, Shaman, and Taoist—trace their origins to Nüwa's three disciples: Xuanyuan, Suiren, and Shennong.
Each class features unique abilities, cultivation paths, and stories inspired by traditional Chinese martial arts, the Five Elements, and ancient mystical practices.
A Visual Journey Through Classical Eastern Aesthetics
The world of Celestial Oath brings the beauty of classical Chinese aesthetics to life.
From the majestic mountain city of Yunze, with its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking landscapes, to the peaceful bamboo settlement of Wuze, and the ancient stone city of Leize, every location reflects the spirit of traditional Chinese art and architecture.
Together, these environments create an immersive world that feels like stepping into a living Chinese landscape painting.
Ancient Wisdom Reimagined Through Modern Gameplay
Celestial Oath incorporates traditional Eastern philosophy into its gameplay systems.
The ancient principle of the Five Elements—where different elements interact through cycles of generation and opposition—plays a central role in character development, skill combinations, and combat strategies.
Quests are also inspired by ancient cultural mysteries. Players may decipher the secrets of the "Wordless Bamboo Scroll" or search for the legendary "Blood Jade Stone."
These adventures challenge players' intelligence and courage while inviting them to explore the deeper meanings and values of Eastern civilization.
Legendary Creatures Brought to Life
The game's monsters draw inspiration from ancient Chinese texts, particularly the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas).
Creatures such as Lanbai, Hongbai, and Xiqu feature distinctive appearances and unique abilities, bringing the rich imagination of ancient Chinese mythology into a living fantasy world.
Weapons, clothing, jewelry, and other in-game items are equally inspired by traditional Chinese craftsmanship, reflecting the artistry, ingenuity, and aesthetic traditions of ancient Eastern civilization.
