Swords of Legends: A New Epic RPG Adventure Emerges
Chinese game developers continue to expand their presence in the Western gaming market. The latest entry comes from Aurogon Shanghai, supported by publisher Wangyuan Shengtang, who have officially unveiled Swords of Legends. This new single-player action RPG plunges players into a rich fantasy world deeply rooted in classic Chinese mythology and folklore.
While Swords of Legends is only now being formally introduced to a global audience, the game was initially announced in China back in 2021. It marks the fourth installment in the popular Gujian series, which enjoys considerable fame within its home country but remains largely unknown to international players.
Gameplay and World Exploration
Players can anticipate a visually stunning adventure through semi-open environments. Swords of Legends is described as an action RPG featuring a compelling and dynamic main storyline, enhanced by cinematic storytelling. The experience is further enriched with engaging side quests and opportunities for deep world exploration. The developers have clarified that this is not a 'Souls-like' game, nor does it feature a completely open world.
The game’s narrative unfolds in an original fantasy setting, drawing heavily from Chinese myths and legends. This installment significantly expands the Gujian universe, placing players in the unique role of a 'keeper of order in the underworld.' This special individual can traverse between the realms of the living and the dead.
The game goes beyond a mere retelling of classic myths. Players will personally guide lost souls, helping them overcome their lingering regrets. Each soul has its own unique story. For example, a recent trailer showcased a woman dancing before bronze bells, unable to release her attachment to the mortal world and willing to pay any price to remain there.
Accessibility and Development Details
Aurogon Shanghai emphasizes that each entry in the Gujian series presents a standalone story with different characters. Therefore, new players will not need to play the original trilogy to enjoy Swords of Legends. The developers also assure players that the combat system will not be overly difficult, aiming to make the game enjoyable for players of all experience levels.
Swords of Legends is currently in active development using Unreal Engine 5. It is slated for release on PC and unnamed consoles. Release dates are yet to be announced. The game has been in production for approximately two years, and the recent trailer also serves as a recruitment tool, hoping to attract new talent to the development team.
This new entry offers a promising blend of engaging action, deep narrative, and rich cultural inspiration, making it a title to watch for fans of fantasy RPGs worldwide.
