GU
JIAN
Gu Jian is the next premium single-player action RPG in the Swords of Legends franchise from Shanghai Aurogon—the studio behind GuJian Qitan I–III—published by Beijing Wangyuan Shengtang. Built in Unreal Engine 5 after years of pre-production and expanded development following Tencent's 2024 investment, the game draws on Chinese upper antiquity mythology and zhiguai folk tales rather than repeating the xianxia tone of earlier entries. Play as a deceased soul who becomes an Underworld judge, a being who walks between yin and yang to guide restless spirits; classic figures such as Ox-Head and Horse-Face appear as companions on a journey of ferrying souls and resolving obsessions, with each ghost carrying its own story. Combat blends action-RPG fundamentals—dodge, block, weapon skills, and co-op link attacks with allies—with a core loop of subduing powerful spirits that can later be summoned in battle; exploration rewards items and build variety rather than punishing soulslike difficulty. The experience is intentionally wide-linear rather than open-world or soulslike, with a clear main story, rich cutscenes, branching side content, and accessible progression for varied player skill levels. Each prior GuJian title remains a standalone story, so newcomers need no series backlog. First trailer unveiled at gamescom Opening Night Live on August 17, 2025; planned as a premium release on PC and consoles with no mobile version.
