Sword of Justice is an open-world multiplayer social RPG developed by ZhuRong Studio. It seamlessly blends expansive exploration with groundbreaking interactions and brings to life the cultural tapestry of the Northern Song Dynasty in late 12th century China, creating a vivid and meticulously crafted Wuxia universe.

Previously launched in China, the game was a huge success with total players surpassing 40 million in the first month, and more than 1.1 million pre-registrations on day one! The game quickly topped the iOS App Store and consistently ranked first on both free-to-play and top-grossing charts across various platforms, dominating the leaderboards for extended periods.

 

Key Features of the game:

 

Conquer A Colossal and Visually stunning Wuxia Open-World

Immerse yourself in a vast open world, rich in Eastern aesthetics, where players embark on adventures through breathtaking natural landscapes. Traverse majestic mountains and flowing rivers, conquer perilous peaks and labyrinthine caverns, and uncover legendary weapons and ancient techniques. Engage in visceral combat against mythical beasts and roaming bandits, unleashing your Wuxia arts mastery to collect rare artifacts.

 

Cutting-edge technology and AI-Powered NPCs Redefines Gaming Experience

With a specialized dynamic weather system and patented ray tracing, every large map is packed with detail, and even the most intense battles won't drop frames. Sword of Justice has partnered with NVIDIA's top-notch ray tracing technology to shatter the visual quality ceiling of MMORPGs—every glimmering reflection is simulated, every shadow is processed with anti-aliasing, and every ray tracing effect is breathtaking!

As the first (mobile) game to equip NPCs with an artificial intelligence engine, Sword of Justice  delivers an adaptive AI NPC ecosystem powered by DeepSeek and NetEase’s proprietary AI system, to bring real-world daily interactions to life. Tens of thousands of NPCs possess unique identities and memories to intelligently respond to players' actions based on their own personalities and experiences. AI NPCs truly embody "flesh, blood, and consciousness"—they remember players' words and actions, delivering authentic intelligent responses through deep learning. Your choices and deeds shape the NPCs' life in the game world, redefining the gaming experience as they become vivid companions breathing alongside you in the bustling Wuxia world.

Combat too is groundbreaking with industry-leading high-definition graphics, 360-degree seamless battle perspective switching, and smooth frame rates. Even in intense battles, the game delivers fluid output and stunning effects. Combat isn't just a series of actions but a cinematic-quality, electrifying experience! Supported by advanced technology, Sword of Justice's competitive gameplay offers diverse patterns, providing players with an immersive, pulse-pounding experience that’s truly gripping!

Define Your Play Style and Tailor Your Own Adventure

For those who enjoy socializing and multiplayer fun, the game also offers the ultimate co-op experience, allowing friends to forge lifelong alliances. It integrates beloved social systems such as Romantic Bonds, Mentorship, Sworn Brotherhoods, and Guild Alliances, all set within beautifully designed social hubs that encourage unscripted interactions. For solo players, the game provides over 100 hours of immersive gameplay and AI Companions—a revolutionary system enabling solo players to tackle raids alongside intelligent NPC allies. In Sword of Justice, everyone can experience this dazzling world in their own unique way.

Fair competition – The antidote to P2W

Sword of Justice reinforces fair competition by eliminating pay-to-win mechanics entirely – all progression resources are earned solely through gameplay, transforming character development from a grind into pure strategic joy. With strict attribute caps ensuring no player can buy dominance, victory hinges entirely on mastering hundreds of dynamic combat combos. Each season resets rankings and introduces fresh content, letting everyone restart on equal footing. Here, your skill crafts legends, not your wallet.
