NETEASE: Condor Heroes is being relaunched in China today. The first version of the Wuxia RPG was underperformed in its debut in China, leading NetEase to completely rework the game and even change the game's producer.

NeatEase launched today a major updated to one of its popular MMOs in China - 射雕. The game launched in 2023 and is based on Jin Yong's oeuvre which has spawned many adaptations over the years and is seminal in Chinese pop culture - The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
