Previously called Sword and Fairy 7, the game is heading to Microsoft’s consoles.

The game’s story from Beijing-based Softstar Technology and E-Home Entertainment is a bit complicated. It was first released on Steam as Sword of Fairy a year ago (October 21, 2021), and on August 4 this year, it was released as Sword and Fairy: Together Forever for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on PlayStation Store. There will be a retail version, but it will have to wait until early 2023 (and there will be a collector’s edition). It will be released for Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC on Microsoft Store on November 3 for $40, but pre-ordering will get you a 10% discount.

Here’s the Microsoft Store overview: “Enter a realm that blends ancient mythology with traditional oriental aesthetics in Sword and Fairy: Together Forever, the latest standalone entry in the nearly 27-year-old RPG franchise! Weaving its tale between the three clans of Human, Deity and Demon, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever puts you in command of a memorable party of characters, each with unique personalities, motives, skills, strengths and weaknesses. Only together can they shape the future! Guide them as one in this compelling standalone chapter that serves as a jumping-on point for those new to Sword and Fairy while paying tribute to the series’ grand legacy.

Sword and Fairy: Together Forever not only features the most advanced graphics in series history but also introduces dynamic real-time combat mechanics with total freedom of movement and fluid, screen-filling skill animations. Switch between playable characters and strategize on the fly! Along the way, you can also meet and care for spirit creatures that will aid your journey. Discover lush interconnected environments, equip your party with new skills, play mini-games and much more as you explore this beautifully crafted action role-playing epic, including exclusive outfits and weapon skins to enhance the experience further!”

Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is coming to Xbox Series, Xbox One and the Microsoft Store on PC on November 3. Since it’s a Chinese-developed RPG, you won’t get the same experience as playing a JRPG.
