Thanks to Leoful and PiXEL, we have a definite release date for Xiaomi and the Flame Dragon Fist in the West. It has been announced that the title is set to release on March 31 in North America and Europe.
Xiaomei and the Flame Dragon’s Fist was confirmed for an overseas release last September. It was originally scheduled for 2022.
Long ago, the evil Dark Dragon was sealed away by Master Jin Shenlong on top of Mount Heian. The black dragon was believed to grant those who could claim its great strength the power to rule the world.
Two sisters, Xiaomei and Xiaoyin, trained together in a village under Master Pailong. Xiaomei devoted herself to learning the Fire Dragon Fist, while Xiaoyin tried to master the Dark Dragon Fist. Both kung fu techniques were like yin and yang, helping to keep the world balanced.
While undergoing Master Pailong’s training, Xiaoyin began to show great hatred for the Flame Dragon Fist and attempted to hinder Xiaomei’s efforts. Could she have been influenced by darkness?
One day, Xiaoyin disappeared, and about a month later, rumors started circulating that she was training on Mount Heian, the same place where the black dragon was sealed away.
Motivated by her strong desire to save her sister, Xiaomei finally mastered the Flame Dragon Fist and set out to find her.
