Wu-woo: Age Of Wushu Brings F2P Wuxia

Those handsome chaps at Massively have scooped the announcement of Snail Games USA's next free-to-play MMO, which is the handsome-looking Age Of Wushu. The game's flag-waving feature set all derives from it being based on wuxia-type fictions, which means the characters are capable of absurd Kung Fu movie actions, such as being able to run on the surface of water. It also has a few ideas that are unusual in free MMOs, such as offline skill progression. You can see the AoW characters pulling off all sorts of unlikely moves, as well as slightly too many camera pans over pretty East Asian architecture, in the first trailer, which is below. There's going to be an "international" beta starting next month. No word on any EU release at present.
