During gamescom Opening Night Live, Aurogon Shanghai announced Swords of Legends, a new fantasy action-RPG based on Chinese mythology.

In Swords of Legends we will play the role of Si Pan, a "guardian of the underworld" who, despite being dead, has been brought back to life to wield mystical techniques, divine artifacts and powerful weapons against hordes of otherworldly horrors. We can summon captured souls to fight alongside us, block enemies with spirit seals or unleash devastating area attacks to turn the tide of battle. Each opponent will require a strategic approach, inviting us to master our skills to exploit their weaknesses.

The game world draws inspiration from ancient Chinese literature and folklore, immersing us in a realm of the undead that is as enchanting as it is disturbing. Harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 5, we'll explore an atmospheric world where every glimpse hides beauty and danger, accompanied by the haunting melodies of traditional oriental music. On our journey we will meet unforgettable mythical creatures and ghostly beings from legendary works such as the "Classic of the Mountains and Seas".

Swords of Legends is based on an RPG saga that is very popular in China but has never seen the light of day in the West, the Gujan saga; This new episode, designed to be offered to a global audience, introduces new characters and a new storyline, designed to be an ideal starting point for newbies. It is a new chapter that honors the legacy of the franchise, finally opening it to an international audience.

We leave you with the presentation trailer shown during the event and a set of images.
