Short Answer

Contamination is one of the strongest game themes shown by the Chinese official site: it includes physical city pollution, mental and mystical influence, forbidden knowledge, and dungeon challenges around madness and loss of control.

What Is Confirmed

  • Industrial smog connects with deeper spiritual contamination.
  • Hostile high-level beings may contaminate people through whispers, objects, and forbidden knowledge.
  • The same article links contamination to dungeon encounters including Rail Bieber, Sealed Artifact 2-049, and May Manor.

What Is Still Unknown

  • Exact gameplay systems for contamination resistance, cleansing, or failure states.
  • How strongly contamination affects classes, Pathways, or combat balance.
  • Whether every example appears in the same test build.

Guide Notes

Use Contamination as the primary page keyword because the game concept centers on 污染. Add Corruption as an alternate fandom term only where useful.

Keep boss and dungeon details spoiler-sensitive. The top of the page should explain the system theme without revealing every encounter.

When more gameplay footage appears, split this into contamination mechanics, dungeon affixes, boss notes, and lore background.

FAQ

Is contamination a real game mechanic?

Contamination is a core game theme and dungeon challenge. Exact mechanics still need test or launch confirmation.

Is this the same as Corruption?
