Sword Heart: Carved Dragon is NetEase’s ambitious Xianxia RPG, featuring martial arts combat and fantasy.
NetEase Games is set to introduce Sword Heart: Carved Dragon, a grand Xianxia RPG poised to redefine the genre. Pre-registrations have already begun in China, and while a global release remains uncertain, the game is rumored to launch on Android, iOS, HarmonyOS, and potentially the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
Blending martial arts mastery with mystical adventures, Sword Heart: Carved Dragon immerses players in a fresh fantasy world while staying true to the core elements of the Xianxia genre. This standalone RPG promises an original storyline and an engaging combat system, setting itself apart from previous Chinese RPG titles.
Game producer Gongchangjun recently hinted at a multi-platform release by sharing logos from various platforms on social media. While official confirmation is still pending, it’s highly likely that the game will not be limited to mobile devices, aiming for a broader audience instead.
Pushing the Boundaries of Technology
NetEase is committed to delivering a cutting-edge experience with Sword Heart: Carved Dragon. The development team has implemented motion capture technology to enhance character animations, full voice acting for a cinematic narrative, and an advanced combat system designed for fluid, skill-based battles.
Although no gameplay footage has been released yet, early key art and teasers hint at a breathtaking world brimming with martial arts action and fantasy elements. The developers aim to set new standards for Chinese RPGs, offering players a deeply immersive and finely tuned experience.
China Release Confirmed for 2025
Sword Heart: Carved Dragon is scheduled for a 2025 release in China, with pre-registrations already live. However, details about a global launch remain unknown. Given the increasing global interest in Xianxia-themed games, there’s hope that NetEase will eventually expand its reach.
