Haven't satisfied your Wuxia craving recently? Don't worry—NetEase's upcoming fantasy martial arts MMO Sword of Justice has just opened pre-registration for its closed beta. If you're in the United States, Canada, Mexico, or Brazil, you'll be able to jump in and experience it starting September 26th.
For those unfamiliar with Sword of Justice, this Wuxia-inspired MMO is set in a world based on China's 12th-century Northern Song Dynasty. That means all the martial arts themes you love, wrapped in an authentic representation of a Chinese fantasy realm.
But Sword of Justice isn't only banking on its setting. It's also showcasing truly stunning graphics. How stunning? While PC players will enjoy path tracing, mobile gamers aren't left out—ray tracing will be available in Sword of Justice!

At first glance, Sword of Justice might seem like typical publisher hype from NetEase. However, after the stunning success of Marvel Rivals, it's reasonable to view NetEase's offerings with more openness.
Sword of Justice commits to a free-to-play model, featuring strict stat limits and regular seasonal resets. This ensures players are rewarded for skill, not spending. Sure, we've heard similar promises before with mixed results, but given the game's polish, I'm cautiously optimistic.
And not just because I'm a kung fu enthusiast.
