A Letter to Our Players
A Letter to Our Players
Hello everyone,
This is Qiezi—it's good to meet you again through this letter.
It has been three months since we last spoke with you in detail about the gameplay content planned for the Complete Edition. Over these past three months, every member of our team has been working tirelessly, putting in long hours at their posts. After all, bringing the world of Taiwu—something we have been building together with all of you—to its rightful completion has always been our shared wish.
Looking back on the past eight years of development (or eleven years, for those of us who started this journey at the very beginning), we have essentially been focused on one thing the entire time: continuously creating and refining the world of Taiwu together with you. We have always placed players’ enjoyment and the quality of the game above all else.
And now, in order to stay true to that principle, I must offer you my sincerest apology: we will be postponing the release of the Complete Edition to June 17.
Over the past three months, all of the content we previously previewed for you has progressed according to the original plan. However, as the amount of content in the Complete Edition has grown significantly—and as our development environment has evolved—the difficulty of testing Taiwu has increased exponentially. The world of Taiwu is vast and highly open-ended; running through a full testing cycle alone takes an entire week.
The release of this Complete Edition carries the weight of eight years of dedication shared between us and our players—and more than a decade of our lives. After careful deliberation, we believe that staying true to our principles is the only responsible choice. We need additional time to track down potential issues and further refine the details of the experience.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for making everyone wait two more months. To make up for the disappointment, we will prepare an additional commemorative free DLC for everyone when the Complete Edition launches.
Below is something we are especially excited to share with you:
a portion of the development results from these past three months!
[h3]I. Main Story[/h3]
More Animated Cutscenes
More key story moments will be presented through animated CG sequences, enhancing the storytelling and providing a more engaging gameplay experience.
New Challenges
The mysterious Followers of the Dome, the Santu Demons born from the corruption of Xiangshu, and twelve unique new rivals await you.
Confront and defeat them, absorb their Genuine Essence, and transform it into brand-new demonic martial arts techniques.
[h3]II. Regional Gameplay[/h3]
The Emei Sect Story
The original Emei storyline has been completely rewritten from the ground up.
While preserving the chivalrous spirit of Emei, the new narrative offers a fresh perspective on the White Ape and the Emei Sect.
The Veil Scar Sect Story
A mysterious blind girl, blessed with extraordinary fortune, will accompany you as you uncover the secrets of the most enigmatic assassin organization in the Taiwu world: the Veil Scar Sect.
Continuations of Regional Stories
Fifteen new story continuations have been carefully written for the fifteen regions, allowing you to learn more about the fates and transformations of the special characters you care about.
Upgraded Regional Gameplay
After completing these regional story continuations, the special characters in each region will undergo their own transformations and unlock new and unique interactions with you.
[h3]III. Brand-New Adventures[/h3]

[h3]V. New Player Guidance[/h3]
The Encyclopedia
Tailored for players with different information needs, the Baixiao Compendium contains over 300,000 words of carefully written guidance.
It serves as a comprehensive Taiwu encyclopedia for players at every stage.
Difficulty Selection Guidance
Choosing a starting difficulty is no longer something only hardcore players can understand.
The game will now guide you step by step to select the difficulty that suits you best.
Memories Within the Sword Hilt
A brand-new Sword Hilt Memory guidance system.

Some of these traits, abilities, and attributes can also be engraved into the Fuyu Sword Hilt, passing them down to all future generations of Taiwu.
[h3]VIII. Game Achievements[/h3]
Challenges and Achievements
Hundreds of challenges and hundreds of achievements.
Every step of your journey in the world of Taiwu will be permanently recorded.
[h3]IX. New UI & Interaction[/h3]
Better Interaction
Simplified operation steps, optimized interaction logic, more shortcuts, and expanded customization options—making the game more convenient to play.
A More Distinct Visual Style
A brand-new UI art style removes unnecessary decoration, creating a cleaner presentation, broader space, and clearer information—making everything more comfortable to view.
Clearer Information
More intuitive information displays help you understand gameplay systems and content more clearly and efficiently.
In addition to sharing our development progress, we also have another important announcement:
The Complete Edition of The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome now far exceeds the scale we originally envisioned when the game first entered Early Access eight years ago—whether in terms of content volume, visual presentation, or gameplay depth.
Therefore, on May 9, 2026 at 00:00 (PST), we will officially adjust the game’s global pricing. The U.S. price will increase from $19.99 to $29.99, while prices in other regions will be raised proportionally.
Please rest assured that anyone who purchases the game before May 9, 2026 will not be affected by this price adjustment. Furthermore, when the Complete Edition launches, all existing owners will receive a free upgrade to The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond the Dome – Complete Edition.
Ten years of life’s work—this should be worth it.
May we all live by the words of Tongsheng:
Give it everything you have, and leave no regrets.
Once again, thank you all for your continued support and patience.
We’ll see you on June 17—beneath the Dome.
