The Korean MMO Bless Online, which uses the Unreal Engine 3, is apparently making good progress. After finding two publishers for China and Taiwan (ChangYou and Gameflier), they have now received a financial boost to further advance the game. The warm rain is said to amount to 20 million US dollars and comes from two investment firms. The 20 million will flow into the continued development of the game.
According to information from mmoculture.com, 150 developers worked on the project. The first phase of the Closed Beta in South Korea has come to an end, since then the creators from Neowiz Bless Studio have been striving for visual refinement. The 20 million should surely help with that.
For the European and North American markets, the game has not yet found a publisher. In addition to the great graphics, the game primarily focuses on an “epic” war between two kingdoms, bringing massive sieges both on land and in the air. The game swears by a hit-and-slash combat style. Together with Black Desert and Blade&Soul, it belongs to a league of “The graphics look too good to be true, when is it finally coming?”-MMOs.
