Sneak Peek Into The Hexi Narrative - A Dream to the Tang Dynasty

The entire Hexi expansion exists outside the game’s current main timeline, inviting players into a dream that harkens back to one of ancient China’s most glorious eras - the Tang Dynasty. Hexi adopts a more cinematic approach to storytelling and gameplay. As the developers push boundaries and bring something fresh to the table, players will inhabit characters in history and become a witness to the era and live through the fates of ordinary people caught in the tides of history. It is the ordinary people who make up history, and that is what makes Hexi's main story unique.
