Korean MMO Echo of Soul is now back on Steam early access after the title was shut down back around 2015 and 2016. It’s 40% off and should be in testing for about a half-year.
“Echo of Soul Online is the first stage of a global project starting from North and South America,” said Blue Potion Producer Jo Jeongik. “At the same time it will abandon existing pay-to-win method and offer various contents for global users with a new game and pricing mode.”
