War of Legends

War of Legends is a free multiplayer strategy game published by Jagex Games Studio. The game takes place in ancient mythical China. The gameplay is centred on building and commanding a kingdom.

Although Jagex publishes War of Legends, they are not the developer. So far there has been no information who this developer is, but Jagex has worked with them before. War of Legends will be live by the end of January 2010, on the official website.

The game will be free-to-play but will also include some pay-to-play elements that will be released after the release of the game. It will also have regular updates similar to RuneScape. Players can log into War of Legends through their RuneScape/FunOrb username and password, and will be able to log in to War of Legends and RuneScape simultaneously.

There will be aggressive non-player characters that will be a part of Player-vs-Environment gameplay. War of Legends will be a graphics based MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game), incorporating a mixture of 3D isometric and 2D content. Jagex has stated that the game will be played in real time, rather than turn based, and has confirmed that the gameplay will be based around controlling and running a whole kingdom rather than focusing on one character.

War of Legends will be set in a Player vs. Player environment. Jagex has stated that although it is not essential to compete with other players, a 'solid defence' will be needed in order to build a kingdom. It will be possible to be attacked while not logged into the game, a feature that is also present in their FunOrb game 'Dungeon Assault', although Jagex have said that War of Legends is totally different and separate.
