Codename: York

Codename: York (代号：约克), a mobile game revealed with a trailer on February 17, 2025, by developer FunPlus. This is a turn-based RPG with a distinctive pixel-art style set in a Victorian-inspired London, blending 2D character sprites with 3D environments. The game’s aesthetic draws comparisons to Octopath Traveler due to its HD-2D look, featuring detailed pixelated characters against atmospheric backdrops of rain-soaked streets and foggy cityscapes.

The trailer showcases a narrative involving a secret organization, with characters wielding unique abilities—think dapper gentlemen with canes and mysterious figures in gothic attire. Gameplay snippets suggest tactical combat with a party system, possibly incorporating Gacha mechanics to collect characters, though specifics like release date or monetization details remain unconfirmed beyond its Chinese market debut trailer (although a release date is speculated for 2025 given the state of the trailer.)

The setting leans heavily into a British vibe—think cobblestone streets, gas lamps, and a steampunk edge—potentially appealing to players who enjoy Reverse 1999’s tone or Arknights’s strategic depth.
