Chinese Sci-Fi Mech Game Jiexianji Set for Global Open Beta on July 2, 2025, Garnering Over 5 Million Pre-Registrations
Beijing, June 2025 — After a decade of meticulous development, Chinese game developer Seasun (西山居) is poised to launch the global open beta of its highly anticipated sci-fi mech combat game Jiexianji (解限机) on July 2, 2025. The game will debut simultaneously on PC via Steam, the official website, and Xbox Series X|S platforms, marking a significant milestone for China’s AAA game industry and the global mech genre.
Innovative XYZ Three-Axis Combat System and Hardcore Mech Gameplay
Jiexianji distinguishes itself with a groundbreaking XYZ three-axis combat system, offering players unprecedented freedom and depth in mech maneuvering and combat tactics. This innovative mechanic allows for fluid, high-speed battles in a fully three-dimensional space, setting a new standard for mech games worldwide.
Players can pilot a diverse roster of 12 fully unlocked mech units from the moment they enter the game, each featuring unique abilities and customizable loadouts. The game supports multiple competitive modes, including 6v6 and 3v3 battles with a strict ban on modification parts to ensure fairness, alongside a PvPvE mode called “Marshmark” that introduces dynamic in-match mechanics and formidable giant mechs, promising intense and strategic encounters.
Cultural Significance and AAA Production Quality
As one of the most ambitious Chinese sci-fi titles to date, Jiexianji embodies the maturation of China’s game development capabilities. The project reflects a decade-long commitment to high production values, intricate world-building, and a distinctively Chinese narrative perspective on the future. By integrating rich cultural storytelling with cutting-edge gameplay, Jiexianji aims to craft a globally resonant intellectual property that showcases “Chinese storytelling” on the international stage.
The game’s soundtrack features contributions from renowned composer Hiroyuki Sawano, known for his work on iconic mech and anime franchises, further elevating the game’s immersive experience.
Massive Global Anticipation and Market Impact
The excitement surrounding Jiexianji is palpable. It currently ranks first on Steam’s wishlist for Chinese games and fourth globally, with over 5 million players pre-registered worldwide. Its February 2025 closed beta attracted more than 310,000 concurrent players on day one, spanning North America, Europe, Japan, and South Korea, and sparked viral discussions across social media platforms such as Twitter and Reddit.
Industry analysts view Jiexianji as a bellwether for the rise of Chinese AAA games in the global market, demonstrating that Chinese developers can deliver complex, polished, and culturally unique experiences that compete on the world stage. The game’s success could accelerate the international recognition of Chinese sci-fi and mech genres, traditionally dominated by Japanese and Western studios.
Looking Ahead
Seasun’s production lead, Guo Weiwei, is scheduled to host a global livestream on June 9, 2025, to reveal detailed updates on game optimizations and new features ahead of the open beta. Players can expect enhanced social hubs such as gyms and bars, free facial customization options, and streamlined onboarding for veteran players who wish to bypass tutorials and jump straight into combat.
With Jiexianji’s upcoming launch, the global gaming community is set to witness a landmark moment for Chinese game development — a fusion of innovative gameplay, cultural depth, and AAA quality that could redefine the future of mech games worldwide.
