The Perfect World International team has given players a preview of the changes they can expect to see in an upcoming update. New content will include the addition of Warsong City, which is an instance that includes a boss hunt and seige, and an NPC Bounty Hunter who will provide players with daily quests to complete that involve killing a boss.

Players can also get a new "blessing item" when they enter certain dungeons to get +10 to their attack and defense levels while they're in the dungeon. You can read the full patch preview after the jump.
