Swords Of Legends Online Gets New Story Content, Zones, And Instances Next Week

Gameforge offers a preview of Swords of Legends Online’s massive Version 2.1 update which the publisher describes as a “killer update” that’s chock full of new content. The update will continue the Shenzhou narrative with the opening of two brand new zones: the Dragonstar District and the Realm of Light.

“Strange things are afoot in Shenzhou. Curious anomalies in the skies above Cloudrise suggest there must be a disturbance in space and time. Fortunately, the effects on Cloudrise have been relatively benign so far, and the Qin League has managed to discover the root of the phenomena together with the Dracos. It appears a huge biyouji has visited upon the Dragonstar District, breaking through the various realms.”

Aside from new content, Update 2.1 will also introduce two new instances – Wild Demon Isle and Three-Legged Sea – and kick off a new PvP season. It will also come with new features and quality-of-life changes, including guaranteed gear from raid bosses, new flying competitions, and the new Martial Artist system for new players.

“When you’re playing a class you’re not yet confident with, you can use the Martial Artist skill to quickly get to grips with your missions. At the same time, you’ll become more familiar with your class’s skills. The Martial Artist becomes available once you have reached Student 2. You’ll find it in the bottom left corner of the Skills menu. Simply drag it to your quickbar to use it.”

Update 2.1 is scheduled to launch next week. You can check out the preview blog on the Swords of Legends Online official site.
