NetEase Games has initiated the Closed Beta Test (CBT) for its upcoming mobile MMORPG, Spirit Beast Adventure, in China. The beta phase is live and will run until May 10, 2025. Previously known as Codename Spirit Beast Chapter, was approved by Chinese regulators on February 21, 2025. The game combines monster taming mechanics with strategic, turn-based combat, offering a unique experience for mobile gamers.
Capture and Train Over 100 Mythical Spirit Beasts
In Spirit Beast Adventure, players can capture over 100 mythical spirit beasts inspired by Chinese mythology, such as the Monkey King and the Nine-tailed Fox. Each beast possesses up to four basic skills, which can be expanded to six through advancement, along with powerful passive abilities to enhance gameplay.
The game emphasizes strategic depth, allowing players to fuse and upgrade their beasts, tailoring their team to tackle various challenges. This system encourages thoughtful team composition and skill synergy.
Align with One of Five Unique Sects
Players can choose to align with one of five major sects: Demon King Village, Fangcun Mountain, Tiangong, Pansidian Cave, and Hell. Each sect offers distinct combat styles and philosophies, influencing gameplay strategies.
Beyond combat, the game features a construction system where players can build traditional Chinese-style structures with the assistance of their spirit beasts. This adds a layer of personalization and immersion to the gaming experience.
Visuals and Additional Features
Spirit Beast Adventure boasts a stunning traditional Chinese art style, bringing the mythical world to life. The game includes features such as tactical matchmaking, trading systems, team dungeons, and casual idle elements, catering to a wide range of player preferences.
Since this is NetEase, a global version is inevitable, but no release date has been announced just yet. Stay tuned for more updates!
