The Korean MMORPG Bless Online is entering its final closed beta phase and is also addressing English-speaking players with a trailer.
Bless Online is programmed with Unreal Engine 3, and the graphics from early trailers have already made the Western audience interested in the Korean MMORPG. In the desolate Western market, there is a longing gaze towards the active MMO industry in South Korea. Three of the five games that we at Mein MMO consider the most promising AAA MMORPGs for 2015 and 2016 come from South Korea, though there are still concerns about the gameplay compatibility.
Bless is set in a “Western setting,” the backdrop resembles the European Middle Ages.
The core feature of the game is intended to be, like in World of Warcraft, the battle between two opposing factions. It will be a “Realm versus Realm” fight. In the next beta phase, which will take place in mid-September, two new classes are set to join the battle: the Mage and the Assassin.
As MMO Culture reports, over 800 pets and mounts are planned to be tamed, some will even complete quests on behalf of the player.
Currently, Bless has found publishers only for China and Taiwan outside of South Korea, but with an English-language trailer, they are addressing players here in the West.
