With Swords of Legends Online (SOLO), a new MMORPG from China will be released in 2021. The official release date is now confirmed. We at MeinMMO reveal everything about the release and what to expect in the game.
The release is on Friday, July 9.
Swords of Legends will only be available for PC. You can play it via Steam, Epic, or the Gameforge client.
No, another beta test is not planned.
When the preload for Swords of Legends starts is not known. However, pre-order customers can already create a character a few days before the release and secure their desired name.
Yes. There are 3 packages available:

All pre-order customers receive a mask, a special title, and a special flag.
Buyers of the Deluxe Edition receive:

– A Special Hairstyle
Buyers of the Collector’s Edition receive in addition to the Deluxe Edition bonuses:

A first glimpse into the MMORPG is available in this YouTube video by KiraTV, who tried the MMORPG during the beta:
New MMORPG from Asia focuses on action-packed battles, dungeons, and PvP
What kind of game is this? Swords of Legends Online is a theme park MMORPG from China. You can choose from 6 different classes to explore a world divided into different zones. In the endgame, it focuses on:
- Multiple dungeons, and shortly after release, the first raids will come
- 7 life skills such as bounty hunting, crafting, and fishing
- Various PvP modes, including arena battles and a large map where two factions constantly battle
- Player housing
In China, the game was already released in 2019 and has been quite successful since then. There have already been several major updates, 3 new classes, and a new level cap.
Who is it interesting for? Swords of Legends is primarily aimed at fans of theme park MMORPGs who appreciate the Asian setting. The MMORPG embraces a traditionally Asian style and avoids particularly revealing outfits or Loli characters.
SOLO impresses mainly with its action-packed combat system, which is a mix of tab-targeting and autonomous targeting of enemies.
However, the leveling process is somewhat boring and uninspired. Additionally, some are disturbed by the open-world PvP, which is heavily regulated and strictly punished in Swords of Legends. During the entire beta, we were only killed once by another player.
We at MeinMMO have already tried the MMORPG and written a detailed conclusion about it: I played 80 hours of Swords of Legends and say: “The MMORPG is much better than you think”.
