    Default New PW Game in Development - Swordsman Online

    Revealed at E3 2010 by Perfect World Entertainment, Swordsman Online (tentative title) is a new MMORPG currently in its development stage. Based on the classic novel, 笑傲江湖 (The Smiling, Proud Wanderer), written by acclaimed martial art novelist, Louis Cha (pen name Jin Yong), the game will put players into an ancient, oriental world where martial arts are widely practiced and sects with different agendas rose to assume control of the powerful pugilist fraternity.

    Relive the scenes found in the novel brought to life by Perfect World's new graphics engine with enhanced physics effect and various real-time environmental changes. Choose to join one of the 10 sects available, create your own martial arts moves, learn legendary skills from various masters, engage in fast-paced PvP duels and more. Forge your own martial arts destiny in Swordsman Online!


    Not on their main website yet, it probably will be soon, though.

    Probably "create" as in "customize from the following selection"

    Am I the only one getting tired of these ''China-History, Martial Arts'' MMO's that all look the same and play the same?

    With all these MMOs based on China you'd think they would have tried to base their MMO on another country.

    I want a MMO based on British legends. I'm being serious, o.o

    Swordsman Online looks pretty cool and I've got a question. I saw a guy doing Drunken Fist in the trailer Cinderboy posted. Can you be a class that uses the Drunken Fist?

    British legends... you can write up a pitch about it and send to PWE

    Drunken Fist belongs to the Beggar Sect primarily. Beggar Sect ain't in the starting 10 sects (click here to learn about the sects), but there will be new clans in future expansions. Personally, I think its a teaser. But then again, there might be a possibility that players can learn the skill from one of the "secret" martial artists NPC roaming the world. No idea yet, so stay tuned
