On August 28, 2025, JX3 marked its 16th anniversary with an epic fan fest in Shanghai, solidifying its place as one of the Chinese mainland’s most iconic MMORPGs.
Nearly 150,000 players flooded the city to dive back into the immersive Jianghu world created by Seasun Games. Here’s what stole the show:
- Cultural crossovers: Quanzhou’s intangible heritage arts—traditional marionette puppetry and zanhuawei (intricate floral headwear)—joined forces with the game to blend ancient crafts and digital fantasy.
- Opera revival: The fan-favorite Cantonese Opera tale “Fighting for the Great Tang Empire” returned as “Blaze: For the Glory of the Tang Empire.” Led by Peng Qinghua, president and lead actor of the Shenzhen Cantonese Opera Troupe and Plum Blossom Award winner, this new production sold tickets on the spot!
By weaving martial arts fantasy with real-world culture, JX3 has built a tight-knit community that still thrives after 16 years. What’s your favorite anniversary moment? Let us know and keep the Jianghu spirit alive! ✨🎮
