At Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, developer Aurogon Shanghai revealed Swords of Legends, the next installment in the award-winning Gujian RPG franchise. For the first time in the series’ 15-year history, the fantasy epic will release globally on PC and consoles, inviting players around the world to experience its mythological setting and narrative depth.
Step Into the Role of Si Pan
In Swords of Legends, players embody Si Pan, an Underworld Enforcer — a warrior reborn from death, armed with mystical arts, divine relics, and otherworldly weapons. Combat is both tactical and cinematic, with players able to:
- Summon captured souls as allies in battle.
- Bind enemies using spiritual seals.
- Unleash devastating area-of-effect techniques to overwhelm foes.
Each enemy demands a unique strategy, rewarding players who master their abilities and learn to exploit weaknesses.
A Legacy of Storytelling Meets Global Expansion
Aurogon Shanghai has spent nearly two decades shaping the Gujian series into one of China’s most beloved RPG sagas. With Swords of Legends, the studio continues that legacy while opening the door to a worldwide audience.
The game’s narrative draws heavily from Chinese underworld mythology and classic works such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, blending folklore with modern action RPG design. This mix of cultural authenticity and accessible gameplay positions the title as both a fresh entry point for newcomers and a meaningful continuation for longtime fans.
A World of Beauty and Danger
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Swords of Legends crafts an evocative landscape of haunting and mesmerizing environments. From serene lotus ponds to perilous cliffside paths, the game balances breathtaking beauty with lurking threats. A traditional Eastern-inspired score accompanies the journey, heightening the emotional and cultural atmosphere.
Global Debut of the Gujian Franchise
As the first global release in the Gujian series, Swords of Legends serves as both a standalone story and a spiritual successor, honoring nearly 20 years of storytelling. Players can look forward to:
- A fresh narrative tailored for international audiences.
- New characters that expand the Gujian mythos.
