Aurogon Shanghai has unveiled Swords of Legends, the newest chapter in its acclaimed Gujian RPG franchise, during the Gamescom ONL 2025 pre-show. 
The reveal trailer highlighted sweeping battles, cinematic environments, and towering bosses that immediately drew comparisons to the haunting encounters of FromSoftware titles.
Yet the studio is quick to clarify that this is not a Soulslike clone. In a published FAQ, Aurogon Shanghai emphasized that while the game borrows the intensity and grandeur that Souls fans will recognize, it is being built on its own foundation. Instead of punishing difficulty as the central hook, Swords of Legends introduces a combat system designed to be both accessible and strategically deep, giving players a wide range of skills to combine in creative ways.
That unique identity is what the team is banking on to set it apart. Where the Souls genre often thrives on trial by fire, Swords of Legends looks to reward tactical experimentation. Players of all skill levels should find ways to adapt the mechanics to their style, whether they prefer fluid action or more methodical planning.
For now, a release date remains under wraps, but the game is confirmed for both PC and consoles. With the Gujian series’ history of storytelling and artistry, and a fresh combat philosophy guiding its evolution, Swords of Legends is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing RPG debuts on the horizon.
