Gameforge has launched Update 2.0 also known as the Firestone Legacy for its MMORPG, Swords of Legends Online! Here’s a brief overview of what this update contains.
SOLO Now Free To Play
Swords of Legends Online is now shifting to a free-to-play model, opening the mythical world of Shenzhou to even more players around the world.
“Community feedback has always informed our decisions, and 2022 will be no different,” said Noemi Feller, Vice President of Product at Gameforge. “The goal with the free-to-play model is to draw more players into SOLO and grow our community to make the game more enjoyable for everyone. And with the addition of our biggest update yet, The Firestone Legacy, we hope to show players new and old that there will be no shortage of content for them to enjoy in the coming year and beyond.”
Update 2.0: The Firestone Legacy, the first massive expansion to Swords of Legends Online, is finally available to everyone. Continuing the story with Chapters 11 and 12, The Firestone Legacy adds two new classes, five new zones, new PvP and PvE maps and raids, and so much more! It’s time for players to venture into previously unexplored corners of Shenzhou and continue writing their legends.
New Features
