The long-awaited Western port of the Korea MMO Blade and Soul (Blade&Soul) is slowly taking shape. Now they are looking for key staff for the West.
There has been trouble surrounding NCSoft’s Korea MMO Blade and Soul for some time. The port to the West has been delayed. Recently, there was a sign of life, when an employee from NCSoft dropped some hints at Gamescom in Cologne. After that, there was another “ping” on the EKG, when it was said at an Nvidia event, they really want to release it (unfortunately, they had incorrectly translated the Korean original in the video subtitles, an announced release still in 2014 turned out to be a serious mistranslation).
So far, fans have not really trusted the situation, having been disappointed too often in the past.
However, another sign has now emerged that NCSoft is serious about it, even though things haven’t been going so well in the West lately. NCSoft is advertising two important positions for the office in California: They are looking for a Brand Manager for Blade and Soul and also a Publishing Producer.
These seem to be exactly the people needed to create hype for Blade and Soul in the West. A port and a soon-to-be release seem to be secure.
