SINGAPORE — GCL Global Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: GCL) (GCL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of games and entertainment, today announced that its publishing subsidiary, 4Divinity Pte. Ltd. (“4Divinity”), has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Chengdu Cangmo Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Cangmo”), the developer of the upcoming action-stealth role-playing game (“RPG”) “A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei.” The MOU sets forth the principal terms of a proposed worldwide publishing arrangement and contemplates the execution of a definitive publishing agreement between the parties. Subject to the execution of such definitive agreement and satisfaction of customary conditions, 4Divinity is expected to serve as the worldwide publisher for the title across PC, console, and mobile platforms.
The partnership will bring together 4Divinity’s global publishing, marketing, and distribution infrastructure with Chengdu Cangmo’s development expertise in cinematic, narrative-driven action experiences. The parties intend to jointly steward the title’s launch campaign, localization, and long-term live operations across international markets, subject to definitive agreement between the parties.
About “A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei”
The game is a single-player action-stealth RPG set in the Ming Dynasty era, with Jinyiwei, also known as the Embroidered Uniform Guard, referring to the imperial secret police, intelligence agency, and elite bodyguards loyal to the dynasty. Players will step into the role of a Jinyiwei, caught in a web of court conspiracies and betrayal. The game combines visceral martial-arts combat, stealth infiltration, and rooftop traversal with sandbox-style levels that reward investigation and deduction.
“A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei” is Chengdu Cangmo’s debut title which has been in active development since 2022. It was selected as a PlayStation China Hero Project, a Sony Interactive Entertainment’s initiative for Chinese developers.
“Chengdu Cangmo has emerged as one of the most compelling new voices in Chinese AA game development, and ‘A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei’ exemplifies the kind of ambitious, culturally distinctive IP we aim to elevate on a global stage,” said Sebastian Toke, Group CEO of GCL. “4Divinity’s investment reflects our strategic commitment to identifying and scaling high-potential studios, and we are proud to support a team with both creative talent and long-term franchise value.”
“We have dedicated several years to developing a game that captures the depth, atmosphere, and moral complexity of the late Ming era,” said Liu Qiwei, founder of Chengdu Cangmo. “With 4Divinity’s support, we can remain focused on delivering a deeply immersive and authentic experience, while benefiting from the operational expertise and global infrastructure needed to bring to life the artistic vision that has guided this project from its inception.”
“A Whisper of Fall: Jinyiwei” is currently scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC in 2027.
