Shadowbane: Resurgence is a fresh relaunch of Shadowbane, the dark-fantasy MMORPG built around open warfare between players, released by the Chinese studios Sichuan Sawanyi and Xi'an Chuangtian. The earlier Changyou revival, which has its own card, shut down in May 2024.
Fights can start anywhere outside a few safe zones, and the winner loots the loser. You choose from 12 races, four base classes with advanced branches and 48 disciplines, and assign stat and skill points yourself. Guilds build cities and declare sieges on rivals, so the map changes hands. The game runs in seasons, with one client per player.
It suits players who miss old-school hardcore PvP and want a guild to fight with. The catch is the cash shop, which sells gold and siege items; reviewers call it pay-to-win for that. There is no Russian language.
