The beleaguered online role-playing game Echo of Soul is getting another substantial dose of new content. Over the course of the year, three major updates under the name “Echo of Soul: Phoenix” are set to be released.
Echo of Soul is an MMORPG that has a tumultuous history. Initially, it was successful in Korea, but then it collapsed due to a lack of endgame content. Eventually, it was completely shut down.
After that, there was a rather lackluster release in the West and a relaunch in Korea under the Black Desert publishers Kakao Games. Now, the Western publisher Aria Games, along with the developers Mr Blue (actually a Korean comic publisher), wants to release a new massive update titled “Echo of Soul: Phoenix”.
Echo of Soul: New content for the West, expansion into the Middle East
The major Phoenix update is set to bring substantial new content to the West servers of Echo of Soul. The update will be released sometime in 2017. What exactly it will contain is still unknown. The Phoenix firebird seems to play a prominent role.
In order for Echo of Soul to bring even more success to the developers at Mr Blue, they successfully negotiated with publishers to release the game in the Middle East and Turkey.
The China version was already secured under publisher Hoga by the end of April. The Korean relaunch version still belongs to Daum/Kakao Games.
