- Sword of Justice is now officially announced, with global pre-registration officially underway.
- This Wuxia-themed MMORPG makes grand promises for both its graphical power and gameplay mechanics.
- Features include ray-traced graphics, AI-driven NPCs, and gravity-defying martial arts combat.
Amidst NetEase's recent flurry of announcements—including Sea of Remnants and Destiny: Rising finally opening global pre-registration—you might be surprised to learn they have one more major reveal. Their eagerly awaited Chinese fantasy MMORPG, Sword of Justice, is now available for global pre-registration across all platforms.
Set in 12th-century China during the historic Northern Song Dynasty, Sword of Justice blends authentic history with rich fantasy to forge a unique world. Drawing from the iconic Wuxia genre of martial arts fantasy, the game promises dramatic combat, majestic natural landscapes, and sprawling ancient cities.
Beyond its setting, Sword of Justice aims to push the boundaries of the MMORPG genre. NetEase has teamed up with Nvidia to incorporate ray tracing and a patented dynamic weather system. This collaboration aims to deliver stunning visual fidelity without compromising performance.
Enhanced by Artificial IntelligencePerhaps even more impressive—and somewhat controversial—is Sword of Justice's advanced NPC AI system. Gone are the days of repetitive dialogue. Using Deepseek and NetEase's proprietary AI technology, NPCs will remember your actions, respond organically, and possess their own unique personalities and backstories.
NetEase's ambitions for the game extend even further. Experience fluid Wuxia-style combat that maintains high frame rates, and engage in cooperative gameplay featuring Romantic Bonds, Mentorship, Sworn Brotherhoods, and Guild Alliances. The developers also emphasize a commitment to a fair, "No Pay-to-Win" model.
If it lives up to its promises, Sword of Justice could become a landmark release in the gaming world.
