UNITE YOUR HEROES
The free-to-play collectible action MMORPG Blade & Soul Heroes, slated for a global launch on Steam, ‘PURPLE’ and mobile platforms this September, defies classic MMORPG definitions. It offers both real-time and turn-based combat. Players will collect, combine and re-combine unique heroes to form custom tactical teams to combat tough adversaries. And long-time players will enjoy the loveable backstory to characters who appeared in original Blade & Soul.
Pre-registration starts now! Rewards include a unique outfit and weapon skin for the character Yusol, a refined soul gem, hero recruit plaque (x10), and 100,000 Gold Pouch.
Blade & Soul Heroes will launch globally in 185 countries across PC (Steam, PURPLE) and mobile platforms (iOS, Android) for free this September.
Cast the Magic of Warlock
Bringing a touch of magic and mayhem to Blade & Soul NEO, the new medium-range caster class Warlock gives players charms and incantations to unleash an array of powerful attacks. Using Warlock’s connection to the Spirit Realm, players will barrage enemies, strengthen allies, and summon a Thrall, a summoned demon that fights alongside them, to damage and control opponents.
Notable unique skills include “Soul Shackle”, which creates spectral chains that bind targets in place, and “Dragoncall,” which takes a while to cast but deals massive amounts of damage when it hits. Warlock’s quiver of defensive abilities includes “Quell” (which creates a quick, energy shield that blocks incoming attacks) and “Repulse”, a follow up skill that pushes opponents further away. NC America will bring more info to players closer to launch on Tuesday, June 24.
Both Blade & Soul Heroes and Blade & Soul NEO’s warlock class exemplify the strides NC America is making to bring NCSOFT’s high-quality games to the global market.
