The Legend of Sword and Fairy 7[a], also known as Sword and Fairy 7[b] or Chinese Paladin 7, is a xianxia/shenmo-themed fantasy action-adventure role-playing video game developed by Softstar Entertainment (Beijing) and China Mobile Games & Entertainment Group (CMGE). First released in October 2021, it is the ninth installment in The Legend of Sword and Fairy video game series, preceded by The Legend of Sword and Fairy 6 (2015). The story is set about 100 years after the events of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2, with numerous homages to all previous games and some of the characters from the second, third, fourth and fifth game even making cameo appearances.
The game is the first in the series to abandon the fabled turn-based gameplay, instead using a real-time 3D hack & slash gameplay based on Unreal Engine 4. It is primarily made for the PC platform and is available for digital distribution on Steam. An English/Japanese-localized version was released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2022 under the name Sword and Fairy: Together Forever (Japanese: 仙剣奇侠伝―守り合い―).
