Xuan Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament launches for PlayStation 5 on December 13
During the publisher's Fall/Winter 2024 showcase stream, Eastasiasoft has announced that Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament will launch for PlayStation 5 on December 13. The PS5 port was announced earlier this year.
Developed by Softstar Entertainment, The Gate of Firmament is the twelfth entry in the long-standing Chinese action RPG series, but it is a standalone entry and not a numbered title. While the game is already available via Steam, the PS5 version is stated to include improvements to graphics and loading times. A physical version is available to pre-order via Play Asia.
A new trailer, description, and screenshot set can be found below, via Eastasiasoft.
Long ago, the Jade Emperor opened the gates of heaven so that worthy mortals could appeal to him and be granted divine powers in order to aid in the search for the emperor’s lost daughter. However, this holy gift was exploited and abused, bringing chaos to the mortal realm. The gates of heaven had to be resealed to protect from greater disaster, but since then, no mortals have been able to ascend and no gods could ascend at will to help them. Now it’s up to a small band of heroes in the mortal realm, each with their own motivations and led by the young Sikong Yu, to try and bridge the realms before peace is shattered forever.
Xuan Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament is a beloved entry in the long-running RPG series based on a mix of Chinese history and mythology. This standalone tale innovates with 3D presentation and real-time combat while retaining and evolving elements for which the series has long been revered. The Urn of Spirit Infusion allows demon synthesis and equipment refinement. The Guardian System allows captured demons to fight by your side. The Miracle System enhances your party’s attacks, and new battle formations further enrich strategic options in battle.
This enhanced version of the game features improved loading times, higher-resolution graphics and all prior downloadable content, making it the definitive way to experience this classic action RPG!
