Blade & Soul Neo, a modern twist on the acclaimed action MMO originally launched on PC in 2012, is officially available now. Those eager to dive back into NCSoft’s extensive world of combat and aerial acrobatics can do so by accessing the Purple Launcher.
Neo revisits the game’s roots but spices things up with some notable changes. Among those are infinite wind walking, which dramatically improves travel speed, and updates to both PvP and PvE modes. Essentially, it’s a fresh take on the classic, reimagined to appeal to both newcomers and seasoned veterans.
A brand-new launch trailer has hit the web, giving a sneak peek at what’s in store for players eager to explore Blade & Soul Neo. For those keen on joining, there’s an enticing “Thank You” package on offer, linked to pre-registration goals that the developers set before the game’s release.
In the coming months and years, new content will be rolled out at no cost, catering to both fresh eyes and loyal fans familiar with Blade & Soul. And yes, there will be a battle pass—typical of the times—which players can progress through for free or choose to purchase.
The debut of a free MMO tends to draw in genre aficionados. While I can’t predict the future and declare if Blade & Soul Neo will become a smash hit, the initial phase following an MMO’s launch often ranks among its most thrilling periods. So, if MMOs are your jam and you’re scouting for something exciting, now’s the perfect moment to give it a whirl.
