E3 has always been huge for gamers, and this year’s conference is no different. Among the myriads of high-profile announcements for PC and consoles, the mobile platform is also getting some love as the PC MMO Eastward Legend: The Empyrean is making the jump over. Check out the trailer for this game below:
Made by developer Seasun Games, Eastward Legend is a massive and immersive MMO with a martial art theme in which you get to go back to the glory days of the Tang dynasty and become a hero. Thanks to its innovations and captivating art style, the game has become one of the most popular MMOs in China since its release.
In this game, you can choose a martial arts master to follow and train to eventually become a master yourself. Moreover, you can also join a guild or partake in real-time PvP matches against other players to test your fighting skills.
Meanwhile, there is a dynamic weather system to add to the immersion. With this, the weather will change based on several factors such as the time of day and others. Not only that, but the NPCs will react to these weather effects too, so if you want to approach them, you have to take that into consideration.
And just like in any traditional Chinese Kung Fu movie, you and other players will be able to fly all over the place just like Peter Pan, even into space too. The game also includes a Mind Mode, which allows you to see events in the past as well as the future.
All of that is, as mentioned, brought to life through absolutely stunning graphics. Check out a few screenshots of Eastward Legend: The Empyrean below to bathe in all its glory:
As you can see, the ancient castles and sceneries are portrayed through a visual style that draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese brush-style artwork, giving the entire game a captivating 3D aesthetic.
Basically, Eastward Legend: The Empyrean is a gorgeous and immersive MMO that brings the Chinese culture and history to life. The number of pre-registrations for the mobile version has already crossed the 15 million milestone, so it’s clear that fans have high expectation for this release.
