The new PC MMORPG Age of Wushu 2 looked really good in the first screenshots. But how is the game doing that we haven’t heard anything about for a long time?
What was Age of Wushu 2 supposed to become? The MMORPG from Snail Games was planned as a survival MMORPG, although survival in this case should not be equated with games like Conan Exiles or Rust.
Snail Games explained that you have to survive in the open game world by forging your own path. You follow a Martial Arts school and learn their fighting style. Age of Wushu 2 was supposed to take place in ancient China just like its predecessor. Through your chosen school, you would have been able to access quests that would guide you through the world. Additionally, beat ’em up-like PvP battles against players from rival schools would have been possible.
Furthermore, you could have founded your own martial arts school and trained NPCs there. Therefore, it would have been very important to interact with the population, complete quests for them, and build a relationship of trust.
No good news about Age of Wushu 2
Wait, why is this being told from the past? As it looks, Age of Wushu 2 is probably no longer coming. Currently, rumors are circulating that Snail Games has halted the project and its funding. Allegedly, the game lacked a clear direction. This has not yet been officially confirmed.
How likely is that? The rumors sound quite plausible. After all, there haven’t been any new information about the MMORPG for over a year. There hasn’t even been a trailer to see.
Why is that a shame? Age of Wushu 2 looked stunning in the first screenshots thanks to Unreal Engine 4. Although there was no gameplay seen yet, the images made you eager to explore and experience ancient China in its beauty.
Moreover, the predecessor (known here as Age of Wulin) had a fantastic atmosphere thanks to beautiful landscapes and fitting Chinese music. Experiencing these qualities in modern form with new gameplay elements could have been a lot of fun.
