Sword 2 officially launches
We've been hearing a fair bit out of GamersFirst about Sword 2, existing in an odd conceptual space as both a major update to the existing Sword of the New World and a new game in its own right. For existing players, it functions something like an expansion, and for new players it's being billed as a whole new package. But you don't have to take our word for it, as the beta testing is finished and the game has officially launched now. Several of the key features have remained largely unchanged, such as players controlling three separate characters at once. Other elements have been completely overhauled, many of which we've heard about from GamersFirst themselves. Perhaps most importantly, the game is still free to play, and if you can handle the download over the weekend it could be a pleasant diversion for the holiday. The full list of patch notes for the release can be read here, and feel free to take a look at our recent galleries for the game below. %Gallery-92550% %Gallery-87809%

Massively Exclusive: A look into Sword of the New World 2
Two years ago, the last inhabitants of Opoluto fled their war-torn homelands and set off for the new land of Granado Espada. At that time, Western players were taking their first uncertain steps in Sword of the New World. Initially launched as a pay-to-play game, it was later re-released as a free-to-play title, enticing more players to come check out this strange new world based loosely on early Western exploration. Today, we have an excitingly exclusive bit of news from our friends over at GamersFirst to announce -- Sword of the New World 2 (or just Sword2 for short) is currently under development, and we've got the first-ever published screenshots from the game! With that said, we'll have even more juicy details on this new historical adventure MMO sequel coming up tomorrow, so be sure to check back when we bring you lots more on this shiny New World. %Gallery-92550%
