The devs brought the Tingen city to life using Unreal Engine 5

I just finished watching the Lord of Mysteries animated series, and seeing this new gameplay footage has made me even more hyped for the game! I’m really struck by how detailed Tingen city looks – the old European streets and horse-drawn carriages are amazing. It feels very faithful to the visuals from the animated series.

Have a fantastic day! Get ready to explore Lord of Mysteries, a stunning online role-playing game set in a historical European world and powered by Unreal Engine 5. Your adventure starts now in the city of Tingen! #LOMGame #LordOfMysteries

The game’s lighting, textures, and overall look clearly showcase the power of Unreal Engine 5. From what we’ve seen, the developers have successfully recreated the beloved combination of steampunk and supernatural themes that made the original anime so popular.

A lively world like AC titles with solid world-building and depth

Seeing the gameplay footage really hit me – I totally forgot how much I used to love the Assassin’s Creed games! They were my absolute favorites for a long time. Everything just looks so alive and detailed – the clothes, the characters, even just watching people going about their lives in the cities, and the rain looks incredible. I’m really excited to explore that massive ancient European world, it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun.

I’m seriously excited after seeing the gameplay! It looks so promising, and I’m really hoping the developers can bring everything they showed to life. Honestly, I think this game could really go toe-to-toe with the big AAA titles if they nail it – the world-building looks amazing, the graphics are stunning, and the RPG elements seem super immersive. Plus, crossplatform play would be a huge win!
