Snail Games, one of China’s biggest developers, has announced that it will be bringing its martial arts MOBA King of Wushu to Xbox One.

The game, which was previously announced for PC, is a sequel to Age of Wushu. It's martial arts oriented, and will take place in ancient China during a time of upheaval after the death of an emperor.

The battle arena will feature five-against-five matches, with the traditional formula of defending your home base while attempting to destroy your opponent’s. There will be six playable characters, and the world will be entirely 3D.

What makes it unique from other MOBAs is its third-person view and use of an action combat system, which allows players to dodge, jump, and use attack combos.

Wait...Moba? I thought it was MMORPG. Either way I like me anything that feels like Kung Fu Comics style settings like Saint Legend, Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre or Warriors of the Gods. If this captures that I'll probably enjoy it I love that aesthetic in settings. Makes me remember Otogi and Jade Dynasty.

 

[Xamtheking]

MOBA?
No thanks

 

[barneystuta83]

Dat China market.

Looks interesting!

 

[TrueGrime]

Yeah. Worth a try if anything. I was surprised that it was from a China developer.

 

[blakep267]

Looks interesting. Haven't really played a moba before so It can't hurt to start here

 

[RK9039]

Nice, looks good.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

I'm not into MOBAs, but that actually looks pretty damn good.

[Dr. Buni]

That looks really nice.

 

[Duxxy3]

Hm....

 

[Poodlestrike]

Looks like they're kind of extending the Smite formula? Third person MOBA with action combat. Could be good. The complaints about Age of Wushu were more about the f2p model, right? Combat's supposed to be solid.

 

[Abinash117]

This might get some Chinese players onto the Xbox if it comes out around launch, but I don't know about six players.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

First time I see that, LOL.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

that shit looks pretty cool. will try.

 

[Ashtar]

No ps4 version?

 

[GavinGT]

First time I see that, LOL.

You could also turn 90 degrees clockwise, then 270 degrees counter-clockwise, and then walk away.

 

[RyuHei]

Smite? Yep seems like it. Smite-ing the Wushu games...

 

[MutFox]

This might get some Chinese players onto the Xbox if it comes out around launch, but I don't know about six players.

Nah, they'll just use a PC.
Plus like others have said, this looks similar to Smite. (Also on PC)

 

[Authority]

Yeah saw that 30m ago along with Neverwinter on Xbox by 2015.

 

[Hexa]

Monk guy will need to be modified if this game ever comes to Germany.

Spoiler

He has Swastikas on his necklace. Obviously a different meaning though so I'm not entirely sure how that works.

 

[CountAntonius]

Love the setting and the fact that it has more 3rd person action oriented gameplay. I'll keep an eye on this.

 

[Stormhammer]

I would probably be more inclined to play a MOBA in this style. Don't really enjoy the current style of movement and camera.

 

[Berksy]

6 chars
MOBA

 

[jond76]

In before swastikas!

edit: gah, too late. If I'm not mistaken, they are used elsewhere, and might even be flipped (Hindu, maybe?)

 

[TharpDaddy]

Looks surprisingly nice. I'll definitely give it a shot when it's out.

[fedexpeon]

Chinese devs+MOBA+PC?
Hell naw, 90% sure it will be P2W.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I know this will have more animations than a typical moba, but 6 playable characters

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

I watched the GI trailer earlier, when I saw Buddha's palm I felt the hype!

 

[SneakyStephan]

entire screen full of numbers blocking vision

cos that's what mobas are all about

Twas a Buddhist symbol for good luck( i think) before Nazis took it for their thing.

Did not know that.

The more you know..

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Huh. That actually looks pretty cool. Need to see more though.

 

[Xando]

Germanic tribes used it aswell, for religious purposes

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Yeah, I hope there's way more than that lol.

 

[Orayn]

This looks slightly better than standard MOBA schlock. If nothing else, there might be some passing entertainment value in the Dynasty Warriors style attack spam.

 

[Chobel]

Is it F2P?

 

[Head.spawn]

Kinda Smite-y?

 

[Bsigg12]

If its F2P I'll definitely check it out.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Is it F2P?

It's a MOBA targeting the Chinese market.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

So with all these F2P games finally coming to Xbox, does that mean that we can look forward to KUF2 in unspecified future? They've always wanted to bring it to Xbox, but Microsoft's policies stood in their way.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Of course it will be F2P, It's a MOBA with 6(?) characters releasing primarily for the Chinese market. With that said, the footage looked decent. I'm a big fan of MOBAs on PC, so I will definitely check it out when the time comes.

 

[Stone Ocean]

A 5v5 moba with 6 characters at launch? Are you serious?

Just give each character a large skill tree to slowly select (and build on) a subset of skills during the game.

USA > China. Never forget Pearl Harbor.

It's a F2P MOBA, chances are they'll get 4 skills and a bunch of items to pick from.
