Game Studio · Tokyo

Ancient legends,reborn in play.

Myth, wuxia, Peking opera, tales of spirits and demons. We take the stories and aesthetics the East has refined over a thousand years and forge them into experiences you can play today. ZHION Interactive is a game studio creating original IP that players around the world will remember.

Our Story

Tradition isthe newest medium.

We do not recreate Eastern culture as something nostalgic. We redraw it as something players everywhere are meeting for the first time. We study the beauty in every fold of a costume and every gesture of a performer, then forge it into tactile action and story. That is how ZHION makes games.

Values

Four characterswe live by.

  1. Craft

    Put soul into every detail.

    Down to a single feather or a single ray of light. We put our pride into details players may never consciously notice. Uncompromising craft is what makes work world-class.

  2. Reinvent

    Honour it, then go beyond.

    We study tradition deeply and rebuild it boldly, with respect. Re-creation, not imitation: we aim to make the classics of the next era.

  3. Beyond

    Create across boundaries.

    We work across nationalities, languages and disciplines. We believe work that reaches the world is born where diverse perspectives collide.

  4. Play

    Start from the player’s heart.

    Every decision comes back to one question: does it move the player? Technology, art and story all serve great play. Honesty to players comes first.
