"Our goal is to create highly exciting on-line experiences that are focused both on cooperation and rivalry," the studio's website says."We’re fascinated by interpersonal interactions, alliances, daring confrontations and unexpected twists of events. In order to make every game unique and surprising, we’re using advanced, procedural solutions. While the goal will be the same for all players, every time achieving it will require a different approach, tactics and taken routes.

"Our locomotion system will allow players to perform incredible evolutions such as running on arrows that were fired by other players, fast climbing on vertical surfaces with the use of shuko claws or using yari spear like a pole to jump over obstacles. Among many weapons in the players arsenal, there will be katanas, short tanto and wakizashi blades, kusarigama chains, shurikens, kunai throwing knives and many more.

The game promises extensive customization options for both characters and equipment, as well as user-designed dojos where players can join with friends for combat and movement practice. The studio clarified in a press kit that it will not be an MMO, however, but rather a"match-based" game featuring"stealth-action multiplayer with robust player progression.
