Aurogon Shanghai announced Swords of Legends, a new title in the Gujian series, making its world premiere during gamescom 2025’s Opening Night Live showcase. For the first time in the franchise’s 15-year history, players around the globe will have the opportunity to explore the Chinese fantasy universe on PC and consoles in a brand-new action RPG adventure. In this journey, players take on the role of Si Pan, a reborn Underworld Enforcer who wields mystical techniques, divine artifacts, and powerful weapons to face otherworldly horrors.

The experience allows players to summon captured souls to fight by their side, seal enemies with spiritual powers, or unleash devastating multi-target attacks. Each adversary requires a unique strategy, highlighting the importance of mastering abilities to exploit enemy weaknesses. This balance between narrative and dynamic combat reinforces the studio’s position as one of the leading creators of fantastic universes in the Chinese games industry.

With nearly two decades dedicated to crafting complex stories, Aurogon Shanghai has established itself as one of the most celebrated developers in its country. The Gujian series has captured the hearts of millions over the years, and now opens a new chapter with a project that seeks to combine tradition and innovation on a global scale.

This release marks the franchise’s first international launch, preserving the essence of deep and emotional storytelling while also introducing new characters and a standalone plot. Both newcomers and longtime fans of the saga will find a starting point that balances renewal with a tribute to the legacy built over nearly twenty years.

Inspired by Chinese literature and cultural folklore, the world presented is as enchanting as it is unsettling. The atmosphere comes to life through Unreal Engine 5, delivering breathtaking environments filled with hidden dangers. From rowing across a lotus pond to walking along cliffside trails, every visual detail is accompanied by traditional Eastern melodies that heighten immersion.

The journey is further enriched by mythical creatures and spectral beings inspired by legendary works such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. This meeting of cutting-edge technology and ancient tradition promises to deliver an experience that blends action, myth, and discovery in one of the most fascinating worlds ever created by the studio.
