FYQD-Studio has teased fans with its next project. The creator behind Bright Memory: Infinite revealed a first look at their next game. Moving away from sci-fi, this new title blends 1920s historical grit with the studio’s signature supernatural combat.

Led by solo developer Zeng Xiancheng, FYQD-Studio’s next game is teased as a “third-person action shooter set in the Republic of China.”

While Xiancheng reveals no release date, the developer promised “more information” will come soon and offered a few in-game screenshots on X.

Bright Memory: Infinite Successor: Everything We Know About the New Project

Zeng Xiancheng proved that a tiny team could rival AAA titles and massive studios known for their graphics, gameplay, and storytelling.

It ditches the futuristic neon for the Republic of China era, which began in 1912 and ended in 1949, offering a hauntingly beautiful aesthetic of traditional architecture and period-accurate weaponry.

You can feel the weight of the era in every screenshot, from the textured uniforms to the atmospheric lighting that pushes modern hardware to its limits.

FYQD vs Next-Gen Action Standards

While Bright Memory was a short, sharp proof of concept, this new tease hints at a significant scope expansion. The environments look denser, and the interaction between gunplay and supernatural abilities promises to be more fluid.

It’s a bold challenge to triple-A standards, proving that creative vision often beats massive budgets. If the gameplay depth matches the visual tease we have had so far, we are looking at a major contender in the action-shooter space.

By blending historical fiction with high-octane mechanics, FYQD could carve out a niche that feels fresh in a market saturated with generic shooters.

Is the New FYQD Project Worth the Hype?

Based on the developer’s track record, this is a “must-watch” title. Bright Memory: Infinite was a polished gem, and this new setting provides the perfect canvas for a more ambitious story.

Do you prefer the new historical setting over the sci-fi world of Bright Memory?
