NCsoft announced on August 7th at its 2009 First Half-Year Results that Blade & Soul's CB, which was planned to start in Q4 2009, now has to be delayed until 2010. The original schedule also includes a free trail version to be released on November's Gstar 2009, but now it seems a little difficult to achieve.


Differences between Blade & Soul and other games:

The biggest difference between Blade & Soul and other games lies in its combats and quests which are the most important elements for a RPG. For players, the objective of a game should be as clear as possible. However, most games are focused on monster fighting. In Blade & Soul, you can’t expect that everything will be totally new, but definitely, it will allow you to interact more with the environment, though actually it seems not easy to achieve.

* Japanese martial arts

Players might be familiar with such martial arts terms as palm wind, internal skill (neigong) and flying skill (qinggong) which are all available in Blade & Soul. In Blade & Soul, players will have a chance to feel the essence of martialism, chivalrousness and loyalty.

* Ever-changing world

The story in Blade & Soul will progress in a way totally different from other MMORPGs. And the things in the game will evolve with the progress of the story.
