Based on the mega-popular Chinese book series of the same name, Perfect World Entertainment is aiming to recreate ancient China

Just today, Perfect World Entertainment revealed details about the new MMORPG they were in the process of developing, currently titled (although this is a working title!) "Swordsman Online." Based on the hit Chinese book series, Swordsman Online "aims to bring Louis Cha's popular martial arts novel to a whole new audience." The Perfect World Team will be at E3 debuting the brand new trailer for Swordsman Online, so if you're in the area, you should check out their booth in the West Hall at Booth #5112.

Dr. Alan Chen, the CEO of Perfect World Entertainment Inc. notes that they are "extremely excited to be announcing Swordsman Online as a working title," and, as usual with Perfect World Entertainment MMORPGs, Swordsman Online will be free-to-play with microtransactions.
