Today, on March 12th, the MMORPG Bless Unleashed launches for Xbox One as a free-to-play title. First players can already play thanks to the head start. But what do they say?
What is Bless Unleashed? The MMORPG from Neowiz is a new version of PC-Bless, which has since been discontinued. According to the developers, it is not just a port, but essentially a new game developed specifically for Xbox One, set in the same world as Bless for PC.
When is the release? The official launch takes place on March 12th. However, there was a head start that began on February 26th.
How do you join? Since it is a free-to-play game, you can simply download it from the Xbox Store. However, Xbox Live Gold is required for the game.
Are we expecting a surprise?
What do the first players think? Since the head start, some have been exploring the fantasy world. Of course, there are some negative voices, stemming from the disappointment with Bless Online for PC. Additionally, many were upset about the head start, which had to be paid for with the purchase of a founder’s pack, even though the free-to-play launch was only two weeks later.
On MeinMMO, a lot has been discussed about the MMORPG:
- MikeLee2077 writes: “Nothing delivered yet but already cashing in. There’s no better business card. Thanks Bless, not with me… again.”
- Ectheltawar says: “I don’t even want to say anything about the game anymore, I feel sorry for the future players. But anyone who invests money in it after the background and the history of the whole ‘Bless’ series obviously wants to be cheated.”
Objectively, however, the MMORPG is received quite well. This was already evident during the beta. What streamers and YouTubers have shown so far looks fun. One can see this in the comments on these videos on Youtube.
- Shootersa comments: “This looks like the Bless we were promised. So sad that it didn’t look like this on PC.”
- Nick Solberg explains: “Damn, I could really get this. Looks not bad after playing this hyped chaos BDO.”
What surprises are here? Many discussions are taking place on Reddit. Basically, Bless Unleashed is being discussed just like any other MMORPG at launch. It is somewhat surprising, because a lot of criticism was directed at the online game beforehand. This stemmed from the fact that many were simply disappointed with Bless Online for PC. The announcement of Bless Unleashed for Xbox One even led Bless players to believe that the developers had used all the users’ money to create a “good” Bless.
At least it seems they were right about one thing: Bless Unleashed is apparently indeed better than the PC version, considering the opinions of the players.
- Are you planning to join Bless Unleashed? Then consider which of the 5 classes you want to play.
- The developers have repeatedly assured and shown that they want to do it better with Bless Unleashed.
