With Bless Mobile, the Korean developer studio ThinkFun is working on a mobile offshoot of the upcoming MMORPG Bless.
Although Bless has not yet been released, a mobile game has already been announced that will serve as a spin-off. This game is not being developed by Neowiz, as the team is still busy working on Bless, but by the Korean studio ThinkFun – which is even using a better engine than the “main game”.
Same World, Different Stories
Bless Mobile is based on the Unreal Engine 4, while Bless is still using Unreal Engine 3. Not much is known yet about the mobile game. Both games are set in the same world, but tell different stories and are also expected to differ significantly in gameplay.
This is already evident from the trailer that has been published (embedded at the end of the article). Bless Mobile looks more like a type of Diablo than an MMORPG. From an isometric perspective, you fight together with friends against hordes of enemies in fast-paced, action-packed battles. Graphically, it makes a pretty cool impression and somewhat resembles Lost Ark and Project TL (formerly Lineage Eternal).
Release in the West Still Unclear
Bless Mobile is set to launch in Korea in the second half of 2018. It is optimized for modern smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Apple’s iPhone 6S. As for a release in this country, the developers are still tight-lipped.
However, there are still many questions surrounding the game, including the gameplay mechanics, the story, the controls, and more. In the coming months, we will surely learn more about this mobile game, and perhaps also whether and when it will be released in Europe and the USA.
