Blade & Soul is a martial-arts massively multiplayer online role-playing game in development by Korean game developer NCsoft’s Team Bloodlust division. The game is one of those richly detailed MMOs that bases its unique structure and character development on the experience of questing and unfolding the plot through story-related missions as opposed to the standard mob-grinding tactic that most MMORPGs employ to keep the masses entertained. Based on the information that has been released so far, Blade and Soul could easily be one of the most original and acclaimed MMORPGs this generation if things turn out the way they’re supposed to. There’s really no denying that graphics and characters play a huge part in the appeal and draw towards a demographic of gamers who enjoy cosplay and anime-style aesthetics. The same applies to Blade and Soul, which goes head-over-heels into an overly-glamorous depiction of the races and characters presented in the game.
Based on the information that has been released by NCsoft, currently they are still 40 percent away from schedule on the release date. Also, Mr. Chae-Hyon emphasized that they are still 60 percent finished after the three-year of working progress just to make the game. Although, based on Blade & Soul’s trial version released last year at G-Star, both the media and players, loved the game even if it wasn’t fully developed yet. G-star even added that its already enough to enter the market.
