NetEase plans to launch the open-world martial arts role-playing game “The MoviesLegend of the Condor Heroes” on March 28, with the goal of recreating scenes from Jin Yong’s original martial arts novels. The new game features the adventure story from Jin Yong’s Condor Heroes trilogy, including “The Legend of the Condor Heroes,” “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” and “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.” The launch-date announcement became a trending topic on the Twitter-like platform Weibo on Feb. 22, as the NetEase team has been developing the game for over six years and invested over one billion RMB (RMB 139 million) in the budget. As of now, the game has nearly 10 million reservations on its website. [NetEase Games, in Chinese]
