COSMICPUP STUDIO revealed Ordinary Oddness (人间异想计划) on 21 October 2026 with a 22-minute gameplay demonstration. The open-world action RPG puts the player in charge of a small investigation agency in a city where urban legends have become neighbours. COSMICPUP develops and publishes the game, and its Steam page is live with the release date listed as “to be announced”.
Elysian Skies and its Mythoids
According to the Steam description, the game takes place in Elysian Skies, a city floating above a sea of clouds, where humans and beings called Mythoids share the streets after an event known as the Albinox Judgment. The player is a Consulting Investigator who runs an agency on Breezeway Lane. Chinese materials quoted by IT Home via ifeng describe the genre as a “light urban-weird” open-world RPG and the city as a place where “normal” is the rarest anomaly of all.
What the 22-minute demo showed
The studio opened with a gameplay demonstration recorded in a story interlude, rather than a short CG trailer. Gamersky and IT Home describe:
- City exploration that shifts into abnormal spaces. In a state called “red shift”, streets twist and rebuild in real time.
- Mindscape areas built from characters’ obsessions, with changing gravity and transitions between 3D and 2D.
- Real-time action combat built around dodging, parrying and switching characters, with two multi-phase boss fights.
- An assistant character, Arabella, who lives inside a painting.
The studio adds that the game is still in development and the footage does not represent final quality. Noisy Pixel reports that it is built on Unreal Engine 5 and that a theme song, “Little Monster”, was released with the reveal.
Console-first, with the business model unannounced
Ordinary Oddness is planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the PC version on Steam, the Epic Games Store and Tencent’s WeGame, IT Home reports. Pre-registration is open on the official site, and the game can be wishlisted on Steam, which lists full audio, interface and subtitles in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Steam’s genre field already says “Free To Play”, but according to IT Home the studio has not explained its business model or announced a first test date or its scale. Citing public information, IT Home also reports that COSMICPUP belongs to Tencent’s LightSpeed studio group and is led by Ye Qian, who previously spent 16 years at NetEase and headed its Hangzhou F Studio. We have not seen the studio confirm this in its own materials.
What sets the reveal apart is the day-one platform list: PS5 and Xbox alongside PC, with no mobile version announced.
