In this latest New Horizons expansion, players get introduced to a new Reawakening system, allowing players to start over their high-level characters at level one with upgraded stats. Players will also experience the War Avatar system – in which players collect cards from different instances to increase their character’s stats – a new starting area, new zones, new events, enhancements to combat, more instances and quests, and the optimization of the low level experience.

“This is a massive refinement coming to PWI,” says Tony Liu, Product Manager at Perfect World Entertainment. “With New Horizons, we’re taking PWI to a new level of polish, bringing loads of new features, optimizing the experience, and continuing to provide one of the best free-to-play MMO experiences on the market.”

Perfect World International: New Horizons will launch on December 18, 2013.
