Sword of Justice: Open World MMO Launching November 7 Features Path Tracing and AI-Driven NPC Metaverse

NetEase’s Sword of Justice Set for Global Launch

ZhuRong Studio, a development team within NetEase, has announced that the highly anticipated open-world MMO, Sword of Justice, will officially launch globally on November 7. Gamers can look forward to experiencing this title on various platforms, including PC via Steam, Android, and iOS.

A Commitment to Fair Play

This free-to-play game distinguishes itself by ensuring a fair playing environment. The developers have promised that pay-to-win mechanics will not be present. Instead, character progression relies on gameplay, with strict limits on stats and regular seasonal resets. This system guarantees that players are rewarded based solely on their skill and performance in the game.

An Engaging Narrative Rooted in History

The narrative of Sword of Justice is inspired by Wen Ruian’s renowned literary work, The Four Great Constables: Sword of Justice. Set during the Song Dynasty, between 960 and 1279, players will explore a sprawling open world that is rich with adventure. They can scale mountains, navigate caverns, recover lost weapons and martial arts techniques, solve intricate puzzles, and combat legendary beasts and outlaws to uncover rare treasures.

Dynamic Gameplay Mechanics

Players will enjoy innovative traversal skills, such as Windstride and Shadowbearer, enabling parkour, wall running, gliding, and more. Unlike traditional MMOs, Sword of Justice offers diverse character development paths, including various life skills like:

Cooking
Fishing
Case Solving
Performing
Farming
Archaeology
Presiding over court trials

Additionally, combat roles break away from the norm, allowing tanks to provide healing support and healers to deal substantial damage. This flexibility enables players to develop their unique fighting styles that suit their gameplay preferences.

Innovative AI and Visual Enhancements

The game features a groundbreaking ‘AI Metaverse’ with NPCs exhibiting distinct personalities and realistic interactions. These intelligent characters possess fluid routines and personal histories, enhancing the immersive experience for players. Coupled with cutting-edge graphics technology, the game supports ray tracing on mobile devices and advanced visual features on PC, including full path tracing, NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. These advancements promise a visually stunning gameplay experience.
