Adapted from Louis Cha's acclaimed classic martial arts novel of the same Chinese name, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Perfect World's first action game that breaks away from the traditional "point and click" combat pattern. Running on Perfect World's new proprietary "ARK" game engine, the game exhibits elaborate visual effects with smooth action and vivid combat scenes. In addition to its creative plot inspired by the original novel and open-style fun gameplay, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" provides players with a brand new online game experience that can incorporate data from offline sports and other activities through certain wearable devices.
Mr. Robert Xiao, Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World commented, "'Legend of the Condor Heroes' is a high-quality title that incorporates a concept that we are calling, 'HiFuture!,' which promotes the idea that healthy gaming can be combined with healthy living. It is our view that the game industry will start to see a much deeper integration with other industries, and games in the future will incorporate features that promote a healthy lifestyle. With this exciting game, we look forward to providing another unforgettable world of entertainment for our players around the world."
