"Loulan: The Cursed Sand has been officially revealed, and this action-RPG will see players take control of a skeletal warrior--who goes by the on-the-nose name of Cursed Sand--on a quest to rescue his beloved princess. Thanks to magical sand powers, the resurrected warrior stands a fighting chance against the monsters standing between him and the princess as he travels along the ancient Silk Road."
"In a PS Blog post, game director Hongwen Huai revealed that the design of Cursed Sand is inspired by the Loulan mummies and the desert sand of China's western regions. This resulted in developer ChillyRoom creating a "dual-form" protagonist, who wraps himself in golden sand to take on a human-like appearance. When he uses his powers, he shifts from Sand Form to Bone Form, which Huai described as a powerful stance built for one-against-many combat."
Players control a skeletal warrior named Cursed Sand who seeks to rescue his beloved princess using magical sand powers while traveling the ancient Silk Road. The protagonist alternates between a sand-wrapped human-like Sand Form and a Bone Form optimized for one-against-many combat. Design draws on Loulan mummies and the desert sands of China's western regions, with reimagined landscapes from vast deserts to flowing rivers of sand and factions including a sun-aligned Loulan royal family and frost-bound Western Region spiders. Development involves veterans from Santa Monica Studio, FromSoftware, and PlatinumGames, uses a retro-inspired top-down camera, and targets PC and PS5. The project is supported by Sony's China Hero Project.
