Zealory Games Exhibits at UFSH 2026
Event Highlights Recap
Recently, Unreal Fest Shanghai 2026, a global technical exchange盛会 for Unreal Engine developers hosted by Epic Games, was held at the Shanghai Tower. As a major industry event widely attended by Unreal Engine developers worldwide, it brought together over 2,300 developers and creators from fields such as gaming, hardware, film and animation, and AI, who gathered to share and discuss cutting-edge engine technologies and project practices.
Chengdu-based game development studio Zealory Games (Xiaozhi Games) was invited to attend this event. Yi Kaiming, a technical expert from the studio, delivered a technical presentation, sharing in-depth insights and practical experiences from the project's development and implementation process, focusing on topics such as "seamless collaboration between LLMs, level designers, and level artists."
During the event, Zealory Games set up demo stations on-site, inviting developers and creators from various fields to experience the studio's current project under development, "The Sleepless Wild."
During the two-day exhibition, the multiplayer experience enabled by "The Sleepless Wild"'s highly flexible physics engine architecture sparked significant interest among many industry professionals. While experiencing the game, numerous participants engaged in in-depth discussions about the project's cutting-edge technical implementations and gameplay architecture design, sharing their own technical insights and practical experiences from game development.

Creating Ultimate Experiences
Zealory Games (Xiaozhi Games) is a young team among the invited guests at this conference, with core development members hailing from top-tier domestic game companies and their benchmark projects. The team's current project, "The Sleepless Wild," is being developed using the UE5 engine, continuously driving technological iteration while emphasizing the engineering application of engine technology to more efficiently realize game design concepts and quality goals.
Currently, "The Sleepless Wild" is Zealory Games' (Xiaozhi Games) main project under development. It was officially unveiled in September, quickly attracting widespread attention across the internet. The first promotional video rapidly surpassed ten million views, topping Bilibili's gaming trending list and TAP's wishlist rankings. During the month of its unveiling, "The Sleepless Wild" also conducted closed technical tests and offline demo events, further validating the product's quality and technical performance. Currently, the game has surpassed one million pre-registrations across all platforms.
As an open-world game featuring universal interactivity developed on the UE5 engine, "The Sleepless Wild" has achieved top-tier visual fidelity while maintaining high system stability. Building on this foundation, the project team continues to explore the depth and boundaries of engine technology. By deeply optimizing and modularly restructuring the UE5 engine, they aim to further enhance the performance of physics simulation and rendering pipelines. This solid technical foundation supports the stable operation and rapid iteration of high-freedom interactive gameplay, while gradually building a more efficient and stable content update pipeline. Meanwhile, the team will continue to gather technical and experiential feedback from players and industry developers to inform future product optimizations and technological iterations.
The Zealory Games team stated that technology is a crucial driver for the continuous iteration and development of games. In the future, the team will continue to build upon "The Sleepless Wild" project, sharing and exchanging more technically valuable experiences with practical implementation potential, thereby promoting the ongoing improvement and development of the project.
