The release date of the Early Access version of Bless Online on Steam, and thus in Germany, is known. The prices of the founder packs are now also known.
From the announcement by Neowiz regarding the Early Access of Bless Online, the following can be deduced.
- Bless will start Early Access on Steam on May 30. That is the release date.
- Players who purchase any founder pack can dive into the game two days earlier.
- The head start begins for us on May 28 at 7 PM.
- There will likely be a cash shop where you can shop with the currency Lumena.
- Players can purchase a premium membership.
Actually, it was expected that the hot info about Bless would only be announced this evening during an event. However, something seems to have gone wrong with the announcement again. Although the information was published on the homepage of Bless, it was later deleted. A user on reddit was faster, so we already know the info now.
5 classes playable, Max level 45
- At the start of Early Access, 7 races and 5 classes will be playable.
- The maximum level is 45.
- Players can hack their way through 9 dungeons. Three of them have an elite version.
- Bless is synchronized in English. Otherwise, the whole game can be played in text form in German or English.
- Players can choose to play on the North American or European server.
- The regions China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao are blocked.

Price without founder pack and details of the premium membership are known
If one does not buy a founder pack and wants to simply join from May 30, $29.99 will be due.
The premium membership grants you cosmetic items that should not affect gameplay. The cost of the membership is $15 per month.
This is what fans think: For many, the extent of the premium membership and the design of the cash shop will decide whether they give the game a chance. After the press event, the mood has improved. The premium membership is not expected to be pay-to-win according to current information.
According to developer Neowiz, the information provided here may change.
