NetEase Unveils International Launch Strategy for Sword of Justice, a Groundbreaking Open-World Wuxia MMORPG

NetEase Games has formally launched their new venture, Sword of Justice, a large-scale MMORPG suited for both PC and mobile users. This game is a creation of ZhuRong Studio, it is influenced by the Northern Song Dynasty and heavily rooted in the Wuxia tradition, promising an immersive gaming experience rich in Chinese history and martial arts legends.

First surfaced in China, Sword of Justice achieved large-scale success initially, reportedly gaining over 40 million users in its first month and leading the charts for mobile games. Now, with global pre-registration available, NetEase plans to capitalize on this success as they introduce this innovative game to a broader audience.

Key features of Sword of Justice include:

• An Extensive Open World: It allows players to explore a vast scenery influenced by Wuxia stories and filled with natural settings, ancient relics, and secret dungeons.
• Innovative Technology: The game uses ray-tracing technology and a dynamic weather system to offer visually impactful graphics, a rare find in a mobile game.
• NPCs driven by AI: It uses a refined AI system for non-player characters. The unique identities of these NPCs help them remember and respond to player’s actions, contributing to a more interactive and realistic gaming experience.
• Flexible Multiplayer Combat: It provides engaging visual combat with deep mechanics, smooth camera transitions, and high frame rates. The game also promotes social interaction through features like guild alliances, mentorships, and in-game relationships.
• Solo Play Feature: For those who like to play solo, the game provides AI allies and more than 100 hours of content, enabling them to participate in raids and major events.
• Focus on Equitable Gameplay: NetEase has designed Sword of Justice as a title where players progress through gameplay, not through purchases. Seasonal resets and attribute caps ensure a balanced competition.

Sword of Justice joins an increasing number of MMORPGs that are blending high-quality visuals, sophisticated AI, and extensive social systems on both mobile and PC platforms. The game’s strong debut in China makes it a promising offering as it expands to a global audience. Renowned for titles like Identity V and Naraka: Bladepoint, NetEase continues to grow its portfolio with large-scale projects targeting both local and international markets.

Although numerous Chinese mobile games have debuted in the West, only a handful have achieved significant success (titles from Hoyoverse like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail are some of the few that have done well globally).
