It takes place in a semi-open world featuring “multiple maps of reasonable size” along with “handcrafted and populated with diverse activities, instead of one huge continuity full of repurposed/reused assets.” On top of this, the game will work on producing relatively authentic fighting techniques from kung-fu movies, bringing an element of gripping action into every scene.
