On March 12, the MMORPG Bless Unleashed was launched for the Xbox One. Meanwhile, some players have formed an opinion that we would like to share with you.
What is Bless Unleashed? The MMORPG was developed by Neowiz, who also released Bless Online for PC. However, Bless Online has since been discontinued. The new game is not a port of the PC version, but a new development for the Xbox One. However, it uses the same lore as Bless Online and takes place in the same world.
An MMORPG that is just “okay”
How is the game received? The head start caused some criticism because players had to pay for early access for just two weeks, nevertheless the first players reported – even during the beta – about a surprisingly good MMORPG.
Now after the official launch further voices have joined in. According to these, Bless Unleashed is better than feared. However, no one should expect a highlight in the genre. There are also reports of technical issues, including bugs in quests and poor performance as well as network problems.
- BatemaninAccounting comments on Reddit: “Bless Unleashed is a fun little niche MMOG that could quickly be forgotten due to a lack of polish in the beginning and mid-game.”
- FeudalFavorableness agrees: “The game is just okay but I think it will play out like all free-to-play MMOs. It will get a niche community that is just enough to keep the game running.”
- RICKYSPANIH explains: “I just can’t get into the game. The story doesn’t interest me and the fights don’t feel right. It never really picks up. So I am putting it aside for now.”
- jfall1993 sees it differently: “The story is fantastic! Stop blaming your PC systems for the technical problems and connectivity issues.”

The developers are at work
So what can be said about the MMORPG? Bless is not as bad as some feared in advance. The launch is currently plagued by a few issues, but this occurs even with other MMORPGs.
However, Bless Unleashed apparently lacks the big feature that sets it apart from other genre representatives. According to players, it is simply “okay” and quite nice. However, that may not be enough to motivate players in the long run. You play it, have fun, set it aside, and it could just as quickly be forgotten as it appeared.
The developers are currently deciding with content updates what to make of Bless Unleashed. Regular updates with good content are what an MMORPG needs to motivate players in the long run.
What is needed now? Bless Unleashed should first be technically brought up to a good standard so players can play without issues. Afterwards, regular content updates are needed to motivate and keep the community engaged.
These updates should also bring content that distinguishes the MMORPG from other genre representatives. New, interesting features, exciting ideas, something that is associated with Bless Unleashed. This way the MMORPG could run for a long time and generate a large community.
