IGG Announces Zu Online

IGG, developer of quite a number of massively multiplayer titles (Voyage Century Online, Myth War and the recently announced Gods War Online) has announced yet another new property: Zu Online.

Zu Online, which refers to lots of classical sutras, has its setting based on the supernature novel–The Life of Swordsman in a area called Zu. It is an elaborately and well-designed 3D MMORPG with a rich culture of immortals and knight-errants. Its most outstanding feature is putting emphasis on the traditional Chinese culture of monkery. The in-game quests will boost the development of storyline. Players will be able to taste flying by riding a sword, consubstantiating god and Buddha, forging mystic weapons, creating sects and other else amusing. “Zu Mountain”, these two characters do not only represent a range of mountains and streams. By contrast, considerable ghosts, immortals, knight-errants and uncanny fairylands have been tightly fastened to them. “Zu Mountain” has become the pronoun of the millenarian oriental culture of immortals and monkery. Zu Online is a story about the immortals, monkery and battles against the evil. It has attracted much attention since its debut. We believe that Zu online will be a focus and banner of the new online games in 2007.

Zu’s beta testing is scheduled to begin later this September. You can learn more about the game by visiting their official Web site.
