Black Beacon, an ambitious Mythic Sci-Fi Action RPG produced by Mingzhou Network Technology and published by Glohow, invites players into a thrilling time-travel RPG adventure set within the enigmatic Library of Babel and has been officially released in global markets.

The title has already captured the imagination of players worldwide, with more than one million global pre-registrations before its release.

The game is now available on multiple platforms, including the App Store, Google Play, and Google Play Games, allowing PC users to enjoy the experience beyond mobile devices. Black Beacon supports multiple languages, including English, Traditional Chinese, Thai, French, and German, making it accessible to a global audience across more than 120 countries and regions (excluding the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Mainland China).

Voice-over is available in both Chinese and English, enhancing the immersive quality of the game’s cinematic storytelling approach.

Black Beacon, A Unique Blend of Mythology and Science Fiction

In Black Beacon, players assume the role of the Seer, a traveler who receives the key to the Library of Babel from the Cosmos. Upon discovering the library’s devastating future, the Seer embarks on a time-traveling mission alongside allies Zero and Ereshan. Their quest involves stopping the Sun God worshipped in ancient civilizations and finding a mysterious bronze contraption.

The narrative takes several unexpected turns as players face betrayals and battle against King Darius while attempting to alter what seems to be a “predetermined” future. This rich storyline unfolds as players interact with the librarians of Eme-an and navigate through various temporal challenges.

Black Beacon represents a significant achievement for Mingzhou Network Technology, a Chinese game development studio that has received investment from Tencent Ventures. The company was founded by key developers from the acclaimed title Punishing: Gray Raven and now boasts a team of over 120 developers dedicated to creating immersive gaming experiences.

“Creating Black Beacon has been a deeply personal journey for our team. We’ve poured our passion into building a world that merges mythology and sci-fi in a way we hope feels truly fresh,” said Liu Xi, CEO of Mingzhou Network Technology. “We’re especially excited to see how players from diverse cultures experience and connect with the universe we’ve created.”

Meet the Heroes of Black Beacon

Each character in Black Beacon plays a crucial role in the unfolding saga. Here’s a closer look at the key members of the secretive society “Eme-an.”

Zero – The Guardian of the Library of Babel

Mysterious and stoic, Zero is the silent protector of the Seer and the Library of Babel. She is nearly emotionless and robotic in demeanor. Still, she shows occasional glimpses of vulnerability—particularly when annoyed by a persistent bird companion. Clad with a golden eight-petal flower, Zero is not just a guardian but a being with a purpose tied directly to the Seer’s destiny.

Trait: Calm, steady, quietly fierce

Key Role: Ultimate protector and emotional anchor

Notable Fact: Her existence depends on the Seer’s survival

Ereshan – The Disinherited Prodigy

Ereshan, granddaughter of the legendary Cosmos, was once heir to the Library of Babel. After being replaced by Zero, her journey turns inward as she battles resentment, self-discovery, and a new path forward. Cold yet polite, Ereshan’s sharp tongue hides a complicated emotional world.

Trait: Cold warmth, intellectual resilience

Key Role: Strategic support and philosophical voice

Notable Fact: She once loathed Zero but now speaks with her peacefully

Nanna – The Timeless Mentor

Ageless and serene, Nanna acts as a gentle guide for all members of Eme-an. She’s the team’s emotional core—a big sister or mother figure who brings calm in the storm. Her dark skin, mysterious age, and parental grace make her a comforting but enigmatic presence.

Trait: Calm, wise, nurturing

Key Role: Emotional compass and guide

Notable Fact: Her actual age remains unknown

Shamash – The Law Incarnate

Carrying a sacred tablet and unremovable shackles, Shamash is justice personified. This quiet, sun-like enforcer intimidates with his mere presence. His obsession with law and rigid ideals creates tension within the group but also offers an unbreakable line of moral clarity.

Trait: Silent, stoic, absolute in judgment

Key Role: Enforcer of moral boundaries

Notable Fact: His silence speaks louder than words

Viola – The Cursed Musician

Elegant yet sorrowful, Viola is a musical prodigy cursed by her own art. She carries a sealed viola whose melodies can summon misfortune. Her soft-spoken melancholy adds emotional depth to the team, especially when grace and tragedy intersect.

Trait: Melancholic, artistic, refined

Key Role: Emotional counterpoint to chaos

Notable Fact: She’s part of the Cyril musical bloodline

Enki – The Curious Inventor

Youngest director in Eme-an history, Enki is brilliant, carefree, and wildly inventive. His genius emerges from impulse rather than planning. Though admired widely, he often shrugs off praise, finding the mundane world perplexing. He entered the Library of Babel with his sister, never to return.

Trait: Impulsive genius, lighthearted

Key Role: Inventor and creator of critical tools

Notable Fact: Known for eccentric, world-altering devices

Ninsar – The Future-Seer Scholar

Ninsar, Enki’s twin sister, is the scholar of the group—able to perceive multiple futures. Reserved and often unimpressed by worldly affairs, she is the ultimate strategist. Only her brother’s antics manage to break her poker face. Her wisdom shapes the group’s bigger decisions.

Trait: Stoic, prophetic, brilliant

Key Role: Historian and visionary

Notable Fact: Only Enki can annoy her
