Beijing, February 17, 2024 – After years of anticipation, Sword and Fairy World, the first open-world RPG title based on the beloved Sword and Fairy IP, is officially launching its open beta on February 19th. Developed by Full Sky Star Studio, the game promises a high-degree of freedom and immersive experience within the rich lore of the Sword and Fairy universe.
According to an announcement released by IT Home, pre-downloading became available on February 17th, allowing players to create accounts and pre-design their characters. This pre-launch period allows eager fans to prepare for the official server launch at 08:00 on February 19th.
A New Chapter in a Timeless Saga
Sword and Fairy, known as Chinese Paladin in some regions, is a cornerstone of Chinese gaming culture. Spanning numerous titles across various platforms, the series is celebrated for its compelling storylines, memorable characters, and a unique blend of martial arts fantasy and romance.
Sword and Fairy World aims to translate this classic formula into the open-world genre. The game is set 33 years into the Sword and Fairy timeline, depicting a world ravaged by a cataclysmic event that triggers a time loop. Players will assume the role of a hero caught in this temporal anomaly, encountering iconic characters such as Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru, as they navigate challenges and strive to reshape the fate of the world.
Technical Requirements and Installation Notes
The developers have released important installation guidelines for mobile users:
- Storage: A minimum of 15GB of free space is required on mobile devices.
- Previous Installations: Players who participated in previous test phases must uninstall any older versions of the game client to avoid potential resource conflicts.
- Supported Configurations: Details regarding specific mobile device configurations supported at launch are available on the official game website.
More Than Just an Open World
Sword and Fairy World is envisioned as a dual experience, encompassing both the open-world RPG and a national style metaverse. While details on the metaverse aspect remain scarce, the open-world component is being touted as a highly immersive and customizable experience built upon the established Sword and Fairy world.
A Promising Future for the IP
The launch of Sword and Fairy World marks a significant milestone for the franchise. By embracing the open-world genre, the developers are aiming to attract a new generation of players while offering long-time fans a fresh perspective on the beloved universe. Whether it can truly capture the essence of Sword and Fairy within an open-world framework remains to be seen, but the initial buzz surrounding the game suggests a promising future for this iconic IP.
