The Blade & Soul® team is excited to announce that Blade & Soul® will be coming to the West!
Blade & Soul® is an action-based martial arts MMORPG set in a fantastical Ancient Eastern world, with a story of revenge and vengeance that follows traditional wuxia literature. You'll be battling enemies with a strategic and combo-based combat style and channeling your inner chi to perform supernatural Windwalking abilities such as gliding through the air, running across water, and sprinting up walls.
We know you've been waiting, and we appreciate your patience. We are committed to bringing the most recent and optimal version of the game to the West – with all the best features from other territories plus improvements specific to the Western audience.
We plan to hold a Closed Beta Test in the fall, with launch coming this Winter. Keep an eye out for exclusive Closed Beta invites that will be sent to a select few later this summer.
In the meantime, come visit our newly revamped site, get connected with us through Twitter or Facebook, and stop by our Twitch Livestream on May 21 at 10AM PDT to see the game in its current state as well as meet the team that's dedicated to bringing Blade & Soul® to you.
We'll also be opening up a Design-A-Costume contest very soon – so keep checking out our website as we update it with more information about the game, the lore, community events, and other major announcements.
Just got this email from ncsoft

Ikr? I gave up on BnS last year but surprisingly this year nothing exciting came out in the west in term of MMO and BnS's timing is perfect imo.

Never heard of it. I guess it could be interesting, the article I read said the dungeons were open to "teams of 2, 4, or 6 players". If there are no single player dungeons that means that feature loses all value to me, the huge raid it said is at the end has no value to me, the PVP has no value to me. Not a huge fan of the art either. So while the concept seems good, at this point the only thing I would be playing for is the story. Is the story good?
Also is this like Vindictus where your character's appearance/gender is tied to the class so everyone looks like the same 5 people? Because I hate that shit.

No, it's not gender locked and there are single player dungeons I dono what its talking about no single player dungeons.
Story wise it is like you are the hero, it's very specific, not like you are random joe number 54 who happens to stumble into NPC who needs your help. In BnS you ARE the protagonist, and the story follows your trials and tribulations.

I hope they mean it this time. I remember when they first launched that site saying it was coming soon and then it went dead. I've been waiting sooooooooo long for this game :C
If it does indeed come this year I will be so happy!

So like FF14. except with the single player stuff, but their matchmaking is really nice.

So don't play. We'd all be better off. Everyone would.
