WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the martial arts MMORPG, Age of Wulin will release its third expansion on 10th March 2015.

Introducing new playable factions, a weather system, dynamic events and many other features, “Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” will put the adventurers’ allegiance to the test as they gain the opportunity to betray their peers for a new Faction, Sect or to become a Vagrant.

From 10th March, players will be able to abandon their Sects to either join one of the 6 playable Factions, one of the 7 remaining Great Sects, or go on their own path, free from rules and teachings to become a true vagabond. Adventurers will be allowed to choose their preferred way of leaving their current Sects in different ways, each with its own advantages and inconveniences: Betrayal, the quickest method to leave a Sect, but inflicting an important punishment to the character; Training Down the Mountain, where the player has to ask permission and survive subsequent attack to join one of the 6 new Factions; or Leaving in Disguise, inflicting the least punishment for leaving the Sect but with a difficult task for the player to fulfil in order to earn freedom.

 

Furthermore, the Age of Wulin team has already revealed the 3 of the 6 Secret Factions: the Rootless Clan, the Shifting Flower Palace and the Peach Blossom Island. Each of these Factions has its own story, characters and requirements to join its ranks. Should the player fulfil them, a range of unique skills and abilities specific to the Faction will become available.

The first Faction, the Rootless Clan, is a cabal of Eunuchs which has been amassing their wealth as tax collectors of the Empire. Reviled and feared, they use the Sword as weapon and their main skills take focus in leeching the life of their enemies.

The Shifting Flower Palace is a female-only Faction, well-versed in fine arts and surrounded by beauty. Although attracted by alluring settings, these warrior maidens are no less dangerous, as they seek revenge against the men who wronged them. Using a Ring as weapon, their skills are based on dodging attacks and crowd control.

The last Secret Faction revealed is Peach Blossom Island, a retreat for martial arts experts looking for isolation from the worldly matters, until their skills are needed again. Entering this idyllic land unannounced comes at a price, as strangers are killed without ceremony by a resident master. Using Flute and Sword as weapons, these fighters utilise music for their offensive and defensive skills.
