Dragon Raja: The Last Journey adapts the main storyline from Dragon Raja III: Tides of the Black Moon (Part 2) – widely considered the pinnacle of the entire series. In 2015, Ji Ling first read Dragon Raja III: Tides of the Black Moon (Part 2) and fell deeply in love with the character Kagari Eri. Haunted by the original ending, Ji Ling wrote a short fan fiction piece and even traveled to Japan for a pilgrimage to locations from the story. In 2019, he shared a travelogue of this pilgrimage, which became the highest-rated video answer about Dragon Raja pilgrimage sites. Now, in 2025, ten years later, following the critical and commercial success (over one million copies sold) of Hunger: Journey of a Thousand Miles set in the late Ming Dynasty, Ji Ling has earned the trust of Jiang Nan (the original author of Dragon Raja ) and Tencent. He has been entrusted with creating a narrative adventure game based on the Dragon Raja IP. Ji Ling is deeply honored and confident in delivering this project. He will collaborate closely with Jiang Nan to explore another plausible possibility within the original framework, rewriting the fateful ending! Dragon Raja: The Last Journey will be a mid-length experience, featuring approximately 120,000 words of unique text and 5 distinct endings. We are committed to crafting the best possible narrative. We strive to achieve the highest visual quality standards for a domestic (Chinese) single-player game. We are collaborating with exceptionally talented artists to deliver the most beautiful and captivating rendition of Kagari Eri ever seen within the Dragon Raja IP.
