"Perfect New World" (完美新世界) is a AAA-quality massive open-world action-oriented MMORPG based on the Perfect World IP, aiming to reimagine the popular IP's massive world with new visuals powered by an in-house next-generation engine. The whole development costed 300 million yuan (44 million USD), and was backed by international developers and experts hired by Perfect World.
The game is expected to be launched on consoles and PC platforms. An overseas release has also been confirmed with an (unofficial) English name "PERFECT NEW WORLD". It's also reported that it will first launch outside China on consoles before it's going to be available on PC which will be released alongside the Chinese release at a later date. Perfect New World will focus on accelerating the globalization of the IP with stronger graphics and richer storyline.
