Bright Memory: Infinite is a lightning-fast fusion of the FPS and action genres, where you combine a wide variety of skills and abilities to unleash dazzling combo attacks.

Bright Memory: Infinite is set in a sprawling, futuristic metropolis in the year 2036. A strange phenomenon for which scientists can find no explanation has occurred in the skies around the world. The Supernatural Science Research Organization (SRO) has sent agents out to various regions to investigate this phenomenon. It is soon discovered that these strange occurrences are connected to an archaic mystery – an as-of-yet unknown history of two worlds, about to come to light...

This game depicts the maiden adventure of a woman named "Shelia" in the year 2020.

The 1000-year-old relic swords known as "Kanshou and Bakuya", discovered through SRO research, have been found to comprise a unique multilayered structure, containing a mysterious substance in their cores. This substance, known as the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", possesses the ability to reanimate the dead. In an attempt to take possession of the substance, the "SAI" - a massive terrorist organization controlling its own army - has used a cutting-edge piece of technology known as a "Quantum Transporter" to infiltrate the SRO research facility and steal top-secret and incredibly dangerous data. To make matters worse, while attempting to calibrate coordinates on the Quantum Transporter, Shelia mistakenly activates the device, immediately transporting everyone in the vicinity to the Floating Island - an airborne continent near the North Pole, undisturbed in its slumber for over 1000 years. It is soon discovered that the various beasts and corpses of those who once populated the island have been reanimated by the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", and they're coming for Shelia...

SRO (Supernatural Science Research Organization) agent Shelia's adventure is about to begin.

Publisher PLAYISM announced that Bright Memory: Infinite will shoot-and-slash onto PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch alongside the previously announced Xbox Series X|S version.

Both Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions support raytracing with reflections at 60 FPS, with a 120 FPS performance mode also available for those seeking the smoothest combat experience. The PlayStation 5 version also utilizes DualSense adaptive trigger features, available only in this edition.

On the other end of the power spectrum, the Nintendo Switch version, which runs natively on hardware and not through the cloud, features multi-sampling of TAA anti-aliasing for a stylish presentation on the go, along with gyroscopic aiming support. Each console edition will include all the cosmetic DLC from the PC version with the base game.

“I know people had to wait a bit longer, but my partners and I decided we needed to take as much time as possible to make Bright Memory: Infinite shine on consoles,” said Zeng, indie game developer, FYQD Studio. “We used that extra time to optimize the game on each device. I was confident about getting Bright Memory: Infinite on consoles, but playing the game on those platforms still feels like a miracle.”

Key Features:

  • Rack up points and enhance your various skills to freely create your own original combinations
  • Employing an FPS-style POV, discover and solve the various puzzles throughout each stage to advance
  • A mesmerizingly beautiful world combining science fiction and Chinese culture and created using Unreal Engine 4
  • Main Characters
    • Shelia: Hannah Grace
      The female main character. 21 years old. Her parents were in the military. After losing both parents in a sudden tragic accident at the age of six, she was raised by Professor Richard Carter, founder of the SRO. Having spent years undergoing various types of military training and shining among her peers in virtually every field, her near-superhuman abilities landed her a spot as a member of the ultra-elite "SRO Emergency Inspection Team".
    • Carter: Jack Merluzzi
      Founder of the SAI. Male, 35 years old. Taking advantage of his influential status, he struck it rich by buying and selling vast numbers of ancient artifacts on the black market. After learning of the existence of the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", he immediately infiltrated the SRO in an attempt to steal top-secret data.

With GeForce RTX-based graphics card support, Bright Memory: Infinite gains access to a slew of cutting edge ray tracing technologies such as Ray Traced (RT) Reflection, RT Refraction, RT Caustics, RT Shadows and RT Ambient Occlusion leading to high levels of graphical performance.

Of these, RT Caustics is the newest ray tracing technology to be implemented in Bright Memory: Infinite. Caustics refers to the focusing of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. Rendering of these effects in games generally used shortcuts or approximations to emulate the effect but with RT Caustics this has become possible to render in real time.

Currently available for PC (Steam and GOG), Bright Memory: Infinite is coming Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S in 2022.
