NCSOFT’s Blade & Soul 2 MMORPG is confirmed to launch for smartphones and PC in August in Korea. NCSOFT launched an English website for the game, but it remains unclear whether the game will be released globally simultaneously.
The game also revealed three keywords that imply the launch: ‘UNVEILING,’ ‘COUNTDOWN,’ and ‘FINALE’. Detailed content for each keyword will follow by the launch date.
It also revealed two visual clips introducing the characters’ appearances, skills, and weapons. Players can check characters of all three races (Jin, Gon, Lyn) with costumes in the videos.

The game will also feature a new style of combat and qinggong system (a type of martial arts that allows you to walk on water and fly in the sky).
