Perfect World Entertainment, creators of Forsaken World, Heroes of Three Kingdoms and Battle of the Immortals, have announced the development of Swordsman Online (working title). Swordsman Online will be based upon the martial arts fiction of writer Louis Cha, writings that have already been adapted into film versions. Alan Chen, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment, made this statement: “Swordsman Online highlights our commitment to constantly push the industry envelope and what it means to be a free-to-play game. Players should never have to settle or compromise on game quality regardless of business model and we want players to expect more from their MMOs.” Fine sentiments, though we’ll have to wait and see what they actually mean.
