Blade & Soul – The major engine update
Genre: MMORPG | Developer: NCSoft | Platform: PC | Release Date: January 19, 2016 | Model: Free-to-Play
What kind of game is this? Blade & Soul is a theme park MMORPG from Korea that places a high value on action-packed and fast-paced combat. With every button press, you execute spectacular attacks that can be stylishly combined.
Blade and Soul follows the traditional Wuxia narrative style and revolves around the battle between good and evil. You experience this through quests, but also through dungeons.
The game already looks beautiful in its current form, but with the upcoming engine update, it will become even more graphically impressive.
The Highlights of Blade & Soul
The Asian MMORPG offers you:
- Many different classes, with one being added each year
- A very strong and action-packed combat system, without the Holy Trinity
- A very linear but interesting story
- A plethora of costumes and visual elements to beautify your character
- Dungeons for fans of PvE content
- PvP arenas, where for a time eSports tournaments were even held in the West. These are still ongoing in Asia
Why you should play Blade & Soul in September
On September 8, Blade & Soul will receive its long-awaited update from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 4. This will come with higher system requirements but also many innovations like the Double Blade class, new story content, and adjustments to the combat system.
With this update, Blade & Soul will be completely overhauled and it marks the perfect time to check out the Asian MMORPG again.
However, you should stay away from the game if you are deterred by martial arts combat or colorful anime graphics. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions about the shop, which some players label as pay-to-win.
