Blade & Soul is a martial arts fantasy MMORPG from Team Bloodlust, an in-house studio of NCsoft, which initially began in Korea but is now expanding to the west. Blade & Soul tells the story of a player’s quest for vengeance and redemption. The combat of Blood & Soul is inspired by a number of different martial arts disciplines combined with Qing Gong “light body” movements.

Blade & Soul will feature both PvE and PvP content as well as a downed mechanic, which may be a variation to the one used by Guild Wars 2.

Blade & Soul will be available for Windows PC at launch.
