It’s almost showtime for Blade & Soul’s next update, Theater of Mystery, which will bring a new heroic dungeon and a new solo dungeon to NCSoft’s martial-arts MMO. When the update goes live, players will be able to take center stage in the new Dreamsong Theater heroic dungeon, which will “pit players against a playhouse of evil.” Solo players will also have some new content to explore in the form of the new Den of the Ancients solo dungeon, where players “will be challenged by three immortal spirit guides who will test the limits of [their] chakras” in hopes of earning “rewards that will unlock their full potential,” whatever exactly that means.
This news, of course, may seem a bit underwhelming to hardcore Blade & Soul fans, who were largely displeased by the announcement late last month that the end-of-year update would not include the much-awaited class awakenings and Lyn Warden. As revealed in an October producer’s letter, this content has been delayed, and there’s no word yet on when players can expect it.
In preparation for the update’s release, the devs are running a promotion in which players can register to receive a free Holiday Bash Gift Pack containing a unique seasonal outfit and head adornment, seven days of premium membership, a Hongmoon XP Charm, and 10 Hongsil’s Secret Storehouse Keys. To get their hands on these holiday goodies, all players have to do is head over to the game’s official site and sign up for a gift pack anytime before the update launches on December 5th.
