Developer and publisher eastasiasoft has revealed that Xuan Yuan Sword 7, the latest game in the legendary Chinese RPG series that’s making its console debut in the west, will launch on September 30th on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. To commemorate this announcement, a new trailer has been released that includes new gameplay footage from the console versions of the game, focusing on the bond between brother and sister, as well as gameplay focusing on combat and upgrades.
The console versions of Xuan Yuan Sword 7 were announced at the end of April as a collaborative effort between eastasiasoft, SOFTSTAR, and DOMO Studio, and will be coming soon to console players in the west for the first time in the history of this 30-year-old saga.
In the newest installment of the series, players will follow the standalone story of Taishi Zhao and enjoy dynamic, real-time combat, which makes Xuan Yuan Sword 7 the perfect entry point for new players.
Retail editions will be produced in partnership with Maximum Games, available at all major retailers in North America, Europe and Australia or directly from store.maximumgames.com/products/xuan-yuan-sword-7.
“Bringing the Xuan Yuan Sword series to the west with Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is extremely exciting,” said Joshua M French, Community Manager at eastasiasoft. “Anyone with an interest in either Chinese mythology or action-RPGs will have a blast with this latest entry, which was designed as an entry point for a whole new audience.”
