Gamers unite! On August 28, 2025, nearly 150,000 players jammed the streets of Shanghai 🎉 for the 16th anniversary of JX3, developed and operated by Seasun Games for 16 years. JX3 stands as one of the Chinese mainland's most iconic MMORPGs.
MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game – basically, thousands of players team up or duel in a shared virtual realm. In JX3, that realm is the Jianghu: a poetic world of martial heroes, shifting alliances, and legendary duels.
The party wasn’t just about epic battles. JX3 dropped surprise collabs 🤝 with two intangible cultural heritage icons from Quanzhou City in the Chinese mainland's southeast: traditional marionette puppetry and zanhuawei (the art of intricate floral headwear).
Plus, Cantonese Opera fans got a treat: “Blaze: For the Glory of the Tang Empire” 🔥 marks the return of “Fighting for the Great Tang Empire.” Led by Peng Qinghua, president and lead actor of the Shenzhen Cantonese Opera Troupe and winner of the Chinese mainland's Plum Blossom Award, this fresh take just went on sale at the event.
Sixteen years in, JX3 is more than a game; it’s a thriving community where friendships form, stories unfold, and legends come to life. Ready to explore the Jianghu? 🌟
