Revealed today at Gamescom's Opening Night Live showcase, Swords of Legends is a brand new singleplayer action RPG based on Chinese mythology, and if that title rings a bell you're very likely thinking of Swords of Legends Online, the Chinese MMO that came our way in 2021. But this is a completely separate and different thing.
Not that they're entirely unconnected: The similarity in titles is the obvious giveaway, but both games are developed by the same studio, Aurogon, and are part of the sprawling Gujian franchise, which debuted in China in 2010. But rather than the open world of its namesake MMO, Swords of Legends is a "wide linear" game that "allows for focused storytelling and exploration while still offering players meaningful choices as the narrative progresses."
