Barely entering open beta, the martial arts MMO Swordsman Online already has a release date. It is set to go live on July 29.
Swordsman Online is a Wuxia-style martial arts MMO. It is published by Perfect World Entertainment on their Arc platform, a sort of Steam for free-to-play MMOs. Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, and many other PWE games are also now available on Arc.
Swordsman Online only entered open beta a few weeks ago, making the announcement of its release on July 29 quite surprising. The launch is expected to coincide with a new patch that will make the game more accessible for newcomers and more varied for veterans in the endgame. The strongest players will have the opportunity with the patch to compete against demons in the depths of the earth for the strongest items.
Swordsman is free-to-play at release and in the open beta, but has an in-game shop that plays a central role.
At the start of the open beta, we introduced the classes of Swordsman.
If you’re a fan of martial arts but are still unsure whether the game is right for you, you can simply check out the open beta and then decide if you want to dive in fully on July 29.
