Sword of Justice Marks First Anniversary With BamBam Tie-In and a Mecha-Themed Class

Sword of Justice, the Eastern-fantasy MMORPG published by NetEase Games, released its first-anniversary update across Southeast Asia on Friday, adding a new character class, a seasonal reset, and a marketing partnership with the singer BamBam.

The update, version 2.1.1 and titled “LIVE 2.0: Meet the Future,” pushes the game’s art direction from conventional Eastern fantasy toward a retro-futurist palette. NetEase described the accompanying login giveaway as the largest in the title’s history and framed the release as a deliberate break from the game’s first year.

BamBam, a Thai performer known for his work with the K-pop group GOT7, appears in the game as a non-player character stationed at the Rainbow Bridge, one of its landmarks. His single “Dancing by Myself” soundtracks an anniversary television commercial. A companion web event, hosted on the game’s official site and running from Nov. 6 to Dec. 31, asks players to complete missions and send in-game hearts to the singer; participation unlocks rewards for entire servers and entries into a draw for themed items, including a music player, a title, a decal, and an avatar frame.

Version 2.1.1 also restarts the game’s seasonal cycle, which puts new and returning players on the same progression baseline. NetEase is presenting Nov. 6 as an entry point for both groups. Players who log in receive an outfit the company values at 2,880 Ornate Jade, along with a 1,000-jade voucher and a 50 percent discount coupon for outfits.

The most substantial gameplay addition is Mystech, the game’s eighth class, which trades traditional weapons for mechanically engineered arms and is the first built around a mecha aesthetic. Its weapons are modelled on intricate mechanical structures rather than blades or staves. The same design language carries into new player-versus-environment content: a dungeon with a self-contained side story and a 12-player raid built around mecha combat, with environmental traps raising the difficulty.

Cosmetics include a Divine-tier mount, the Starforged Dragon, which the company says can devour constellations, teleport through space, and evolve into a second form, Eternity. A motorcycle mount is also on offer for players who prefer a more contemporary look.
