Amid NetEase's recent announcements, such as Sea of Remnants and Destiny: Rising opening global pre-registration, you might be surprised to learn there's one more—and it's a big one. Their highly anticipated Chinese fantasy MMORPG, Sword of Justice, is now available for global pre-registration on all platforms.
Set in late 12th-century China during the historic Northern Song Dynasty, Sword of Justice blends historical authenticity with pure fantasy to create a fresh experience. Inspired by the iconic Wuxia genre of martial arts fantasy, the game focuses on dramatic battles and stunning landscapes, from natural vistas to sprawling cities.
Beyond that, Sword of Justice pushes the boundaries of what's possible in an MMORPG. NetEase has partnered with Nvidia to incorporate ray tracing and a patented weather system. This technology aims to deliver breathtaking visuals without compromising performance.
Powered by Advanced AIPerhaps even more impressive—and controversial—is Sword of Justice's new NPC AI system. Gone are the days of repetitive dialogue; thanks to Deepseek and NetEase's proprietary AI, NPCs will remember your actions, respond naturally, and possess unique personalities and identities.
There's much more to NetEase's promises. Enjoy dramatic Wuxia sword fights without frame rate drops, and engage in cooperative gameplay through Romantic Bonds, Mentorship, Sworn Brotherhoods, and Guild Alliances. The developers also emphasize a 'No Pay-to-Win' model.
If delivered as promised, Sword of Justice could set a new benchmark in the gaming industry.
