Korean developers at Team Bloodlust of NCSoft originally released Blade & Soul in 2012. With three years of content updates, tweaks, and gameplay balancing, it's being translated to English, French, and German for release on Windows PCs in NA and EU.

The "fatigue / vigor" system will not be carried over from the Chinese version, something that was likely put in place due to government restriction of online play. Blade & Soul will also be completely uncensored, and will release sometime this winter.

• Choose from one of four races, customize your character, and explore the open world.

• PvP is not initially available, but opens up as you get more experienced.

• The martial-arts style combat is combo-based, and flows in real-time.

At launch, the first three acts will be made available, with the rest of the six total existing chapters coming later. More could possibly be produced after that.Here is the livestream announcement footage:
