The game is lead designed by Brendan Conway, and is built on the Powered by the Apocalypse framework, chosen for its accessibility while enabling systems around bending and politics. It was financed through a crowdfunding campaign, which raised US$9.53M, overtaking The One Ring Roleplaying Game's second edition and the Dungeons & Dragons book Strongholds & Followers as the highest funded campaigns for tabletop games on Kickstarter. A free quickstart e-book with basic rules was released in July 2021. Pre-orders for the full base game opened on October 12, 2022, with the Digital Edition becoming available on October 26. The Wan Shi Tong's Adventure Guide expansion book also became available on October 26, and the physical versions of both it and the base rulebook are planned for January 25, 2023. Additional expansion books are planned for a future release.
The game was nominated for 2023 ENNIE Awards for "Best Rules" and "Best Family Game / Product."
