Sword of Justice has officially opened global pre-registration, marking a major milestone for this ambitious Wuxia-inspired MMORPG from NetEase. With its richly imagined world rooted in the late 12th-century Northern Song Dynasty, the game blends historical authenticity with fantastical martial arts action, delivering an immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of mobile and PC gaming alike.
The game stands out not only for its narrative depth and cinematic presentation but also for its cutting-edge technology. Powered by a collaboration with NVIDIA, Sword of Justice integrates ray-traced graphics and a proprietary dynamic weather system. These enhancements elevate the visual fidelity to console-quality levels while maintaining performance efficiency across platforms.
One of the most talked-about features is the AI-driven NPC system, developed alongside Deepseek. Unlike traditional static dialogue trees, NPCs in Sword of Justice react dynamically to player actions. Each character maintains memory of past interactions, exhibits unique personalities, and responds organically—offering a more personalized and evolving gameplay experience.
Combat remains true to the Wuxia tradition, emphasizing fluid, high-flying martial arts sequences without compromising frame rates. The game also supports robust cooperative play, allowing players to forge Romantic Bonds, enter Mentorship programs, form Sworn Brotherhoods, or unite under powerful Guild Alliances.
NetEase has made bold claims about the game’s monetization model as well, emphasizing fair play with a strong stance against pay-to-win mechanics. If realized, this could set a new standard for free-to-play MMORPGs.
While a full global launch is still some time away, fans can now pre-register across all platforms. In the meantime, if you're looking for fresh mobile games to enjoy right now, check out our list of the top five new mobile titles to try this week.
