Blade & Soul
NCsoft today revealed that it is bringing hit Korean MMORPG Blade & Soul to Western markets and sent two trailers along to introduce the game to its new intended audience.
Blade & Soul is a martial-arts focused Asian fantasy MMO under development by NCsoft's Team Bloodlust. The game has reached a concurrent-user peak of 230,000 players already in Korea, putting it solidly in the territory of other Korean hits like Tera and Aion.
The action looks good, and the Qing Gong ("light body") movement makes us want to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon around every game. As soon as NCsoft has a Western release date, we'll let you know.
