Attendees can meet Xi Liu, producer of Relics of Gods, as well as the game’s Chief Designer, Qiang Wang, at the Seasun booth and learn more about its development and features. Additionally, players can form groups to participate in a PvP battle for prizes such as physical cloaks, in-game items and other swag.

“We are extremely proud of the work we’ve put into Relics of Gods over the past three years – we have invested a lot in the development of the game, everything from the 3D modeling to the music production,” said Xi Liu, vice president of Seasun and producer of Relics of Gods. “E3 is the ideal stage for us to make our debut to our audience and we are excited to showcase our game to the masses before its official launch in the coming months.”

In Relics of Gods, players choose three heroes to lead into a massive PvP and PvE experience from a roster of over 50 gods and champions. The game sends players on an epic quest to recruit heroes to their cause of unlocking the enigma that can destroy Naborbell, a continent ripe with exploration, lore and side quests.

By teaming up and coordinating with their friends, players can form deadly combos and use a series of attacks, skills and divine blessings to defeat their foes. In Relics of Gods, teamwork and communication are essential skills to defeating your enemies.

Relics of Gods is designed by Qiang Wang and features beautifully rendered real-time animation of character actions and expressions, along with theme music produced by Mark Griskey, (Marvel Heroes, Star Wars and other Disney titles) and artwork directed by James Zhang (World of Warcraft and Clash of Clans).

Age of Wushu Dynasty Coming to iOS and Android

Snail announced the next chapter in its popularly acclaimed Age of Wushu title with the reveal of a new upcoming mobile version known as Age of Wushu Dynasty. Set to be available for iOS and Android, Age of Wushu Dynasty aims to capture the unique martial arts world of the PC MMO original on the mobile platform.

Age of Wushu Dynasty Announced

Age of Wushu Dynasty follows in the footsteps of PC title Age of Wushu, throwing players into a cut-throat martial arts underworld known as “Jianghu”. The game combines elements of the original title with those of Snail’s more recent mobile gaming titles, such as action dungeon crawler Taichi Panda launched earlier this year. “We want to create the same feel as Age of Wushu, which was very popular for PC, in a mobile platform,” said Snail Games VP Jim Tsai. “That has meant adjusting some of the gameplay mechanics to optimize for mobile devices, while keeping the inspiration and the design principles the same to create a unique martial arts adventure.”

Age of Wushu Dynasty builds on the innovative features of its predecessor as well as adding new mechanics designed with mobile in mind:

l  8 martial arts schools to choose from
l  Vivid 3D world and traditional Chinese styles
l  Acquiring and mastering various combat skill sets
l  Tactical “Attack, Block, Break” combat system
l  Two-handed virtual button control scheme
l  Gravity defying acrobatic maneuvers
l  Arenas, open PvP, and Guild Wars

Age of Wushu Dynasty is currently in development, with NA release planned for later this year. Check out the official website at http://aowd.snail.com/.

Medieval Engineers gets Castle Siege mode

Medieval Engineers gets Castle Siege mode news header

A brand new mode has been introduced to Medieval Engineers: Castle Siege. In Castle Siege mode, players can choose between two sides: Attackers and Defenders. The Defenders select a map with a castle and their goal is to protect the King statue that is hidden somewhere inside it. On the other hand, Attackers must destroy the King statue within the pre-set time limit. They can use different approaches to achieve that such as using siege weapons to attack directly, or ladders to go over the castle walls, or even by digging under the castle and invading from inside!
 
This is the first version of a new work-in-progress mode that will grow and expand as the game does. The mode has been created to introduce a fast-paced proving ground for the players’ castle designs and also increase the gameplay action! In the upcoming weeks, Keen House Software plans to add more weapons, armor, and a better combat system including ranged weapons. They are also considering enabling some survival features in Castle Siege.
 
More details about Castle Siege and future plans for the game’s development can be found in latest developer’s blog post.
