Age of Wushu: Yanmen Pass Video
More details on AoW's impending expansion, Legends of Mount Hua, arrive
If you like the grit of a sandbox in your MMO, as well as bone-crunchingly balletic combat, Age of Wushu continues to offer adventures aplenty.
Snail Games isn't resting on its laurels and AoW's first expansion, Legends of Mount Hua, arrives on August 8. As part of its build up toward release, Snail has unveiled some new details on what to expect.
A war is raging in Yanmen Pass and players will have the chance to choose which story path they take to find a resolution. HINT: It won't entirely depend on diplomacy; knuckles will be bruised.
Along with the video, details on the new Jianghu Gratitude and Revenge system are available. The new reputation structure will allow players to convince NPCs to fight alongside them—because we all get lonely when out mining. You won't just be influencing NPCs to look more popular at parties though, you will be able to be a puppetmaster of skullduggery, using NPCs to deliver vengeance upon players.
You cad.
Additionally, the Hero and Treasure system will cause you to gain notoriety among the Jianghu populace, which will make martial arts experts seek you out.
Purely to swap notes, I'm sure.
If you want to get martial with some of Jianghu's finest, Age of Wushu is available to download right here. We'll have more news on Legends of Mount Hua as it nears launch.
