What happened
The main mission has a female assassin heading into a sacred palace under siege from the army of the warlord Xiang Yu, in search of a mysterious artefact, and an early-stage boss encounter involving the warlord also appears. Elsewhere, a male character uses parkour to dispatch enemies, while a temporary test area shows the player using an umbrella-style spinning weapon, with ink-brush ability icons and a health bar on screen.
