Aurogon Shanghai unveiled Swords of Legends, the newest addition to the Gujian franchise, during Gamescom ONL 2025’s preliminary showcase. The action-RPG blends high-stakes battles with atmospheric storytelling, aiming to offer a fresh take on the genre.

Early footage reveals sprawling arenas teeming with intricate adversaries and towering bosses, evoking the tense encounters seen in modern action titles. However, developers stress that the game prioritizes adaptability over relentless difficulty. “While inspired by acclaimed combat systems, our mechanics empower players to experiment with diverse strategies,” the studio clarified in a statement.

Contrary to initial assumptions, Aurogon Shanghai distances the project from Soulslike categorization: “Our design philosophy centers on accessibility, allowing varied playstyles to flourish. We’re crafting a universe where mastery feels rewarding, not restrictive.” The team further highlights dynamic skill combinations and environmental interactions as core innovations.

A release window remains unspecified, but the title is confirmed for PC and consoles. With its sharp visual direction and reimagined combat flow, Swords of Legends could carve its own niche within the RPG landscape when it eventually launches.
