A week after its launch in North America and Europe, Blade & Soul claims to have surpassed one million players in the game worldwide in the west. The game launched in South Korea in 2012 and spread throughout Asia in the intervening years.
NCsoft West Senior Vice President of Publishing John Burns says that the recent release helped push the game into a new population bracket: “The sheer enthusiasm — not to mention volume — of North American and European players that have jumped into Blade & Soul since launch has been tremendous. Blade & Soul is one of the most exciting games for western players in 2016.”
Since its launch, Blade & Soul has added two batches of servers and teased its upcoming content. Check out our first impressions of the title for our thoughts on this wuxia-themed MMO.
