AI LIMIT interview with producer Yang Bin – story, world, gameplay, and more
Gematsu recently sat down with Yang Bin, producer of PlayStation China Hero Project-supported action RPG AI LIMIT at SenseGames, to discuss the game’s story, world, gameplay, and inspirations ahead of its launch for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam later in 2024.
