In Swords of Legends, players take on the title of Si Pan, an Underworld Enforcer - dead yet reborn - who wields mystical techniques, divine artifacts, and powerful weapons against a host of otherworldly horrors. Summon captured souls to fight by your side, bind enemies in place with spiritual seals, or unleash devastating multi-target attacks to turn the tide of battle. Every foe presents a unique challenge, inviting strategic mastery of your abilities to exploit their weaknesses.
Forged over nearly two decades of RPG mastery, Aurogon Shanghai has become one of China’s most celebrated storytellers in gaming. Known for the Gujian series - an epic saga that has captured the hearts of millions - the studio now opens a new chapter with Swords of Legends. Built for a global audience yet steeped in magical Chinese underworld mythology, this next-generation experience invites fans of the franchise and new players to journey through a breathtaking undead realm of myth, destiny, and discovery.
Drawing inspiration from ancient Chinese literature and cultural folklore, the world of Swords of Legends is as enchanting as it is unsettling. The game uses Unreal Engine 5 to immerse players in an atmospheric realm where every location holds both beauty and danger. As you row a boat on a lotus pond or walk a cliffside path, the haunting melodies of traditional Eastern music will play, accompanying your journey past unforgettable spectral beings and mythical creatures drawn from legendary works such as the “Classic of Mountains and Seas.”
As the first global launch of the award-winning Gujian franchise, Swords of Legends preserves the series’ tradition of deeply woven narratives while introducing new characters and a fresh storyline. It’s a beginning tailored for newcomers and a continuation that honors the legacy cherished by fans in China for nearly two decades.
