NCSOFT Development Team: "Blade and Soul 2" will be reborn

Hello everyone, Chinese players.

This is our first time as the development team of "Blade and Soul 2" to say hello to everyone who has been paying attention to Blade and Soul.

At the beginning of the new year, we are writing to you with excitement to convey to you the first news about the operation of "Blade and Soul 2" in China.

"Blade & Soul" was launched in China in November 2013. With its gorgeous action, charming story and characters, it has been widely loved by Chinese players. In the process of preparing the Chinese version of "Blade and Soul 2", our development team also learned about the emotions of many Chinese players towards the Blade and Soul IP and their expectations for the sequel - this heavy emotion reawakened our original feeling, and also had many new ideas.

Based on this, we have come to an inevitable conclusion that "Blade and Soul 2" needs to be reborn.

Next, we will introduce the new "Blade and Soul 2" we are preparing.

The new "Blade and Soul 2" with enhanced action and mechanism copy as the core gameplay

- Strengthening of QTE martial arts: a variety of response actions will be triggered according to conditions. In addition, "Blade and Soul" The combined attack skills will also appear in the new "Sword and Soul 2";

- Equipment development line based on dungeons: automatic hunting in the wild is removed, and cores can be obtained by challenging dungeons and other gameplay Equip and develop;

We know that one of the most critical elements of Blade and Soul is "action", so we also put it as the top priority when developing the new "Blade and Soul 2".

Action and operability are inseparable elements, so we are comprehensively revamping the martial arts and operation modes so that manual operations can create a more refreshing combat feel and maximize actual combat efficiency.

We will strengthen the combat parts such as parry, dodge, knockdown, etc. that can change the status of objects, and add different martial arts activated according to different status changes. Players can choose These martial arts are used to deal with QTE - even the same martial arts may have additional effects depending on the status.

For example, in "Blade and Soul 2", players can use Parring to respond to the boss's specific skills and stun the opponent, thereby launching an explosive attack on the stunned target - we will strengthen the burst of each profession Sexual attack skills become more dynamic and exciting.

We will also add the "combination attack skill" system, the core element of defeating bosses in "Blade and Soul", into the new "Blade and Soul 2" so that players can defeat the boss more smoothly and gorgeously. leader.

In MMORPG, growth is an indispensable element. In order to maintain the fun brought by the sense of operation, we believe that growth also needs to be changed in the new "Blade and Soul 2" structure.

The original automatic hunting in the wild, which is inefficient and requires more time than operation, will be deleted. The main equipment can be obtained and cultivated through the "dungeon", the core gameplay of the new "Blade and Soul 2" - for this reason we We have prepared single-player versions, team versions, and RAID bosses that require the cooperation of more people. Not only can you challenge the well-known IP characters from the previous game, but you can also compete with the new bosses of "Blade and Soul 2". The boss of "Blade and Soul 2" inherits and develops the design of the previous game, and I hope everyone can feel new fun when challenging it.

Diversified world exploration and the new "Blade & Soul 2" that allows you to experience new IP content

- Big world adventure gameplay upgrade: richer big world exploration content;

- A new presentation of the world view of Blade and Soul: you can discover the story behind the world of Blade and Soul through adventure;

We have always regretted that in "Sword and Soul 2", although you can use the previous game to speed, jump, ride on the wind, and control the wind However, due to automatic hunting in the wild, the original design always made players ignore the content of the big world and lacked the fun of using light skills. Therefore, just like the fun brought by strengthening martial arts combat, we also hope to enhance the fun of exploration in "Blade and Soul 2" by strengthening the use of light kung fu gameplay.

The original "Question Mark"-style world exploration elements will be adjusted, and we will adjust the layout and increase density so that players can naturally interact with each other when exploring landmark locations. Expand the surrounding exploration elements.

We will also add content such as meeting strange people practicing martial arts in seclusion, merchants who can only be encountered by upgrading the adventure level, and narrating more secret stories of the Sword Spirit world - by increasing the content of the big world, the story of Sword Spirit can be told Richer presentation.

The new "Blade and Soul 2" with further improved image quality and more exquisite appearance

-Enhanced expression of characters and scenes, as well as mobile version Improvements to the graphics and interface;

-Richer and more gorgeous appearance clothing and decorations;

We will continue to enhance the presentation of characters and scenes in "Blade and Soul 2", and upgrade the in-game The lighting effects are also being further improved on the mobile phone screen performance and combat operation interface, so that players can enjoy the fun of combat operations in a clearer and more gorgeous screen.

The gorgeous appearance is also an indispensable component of Sword Spirit. In addition to more appearance fashions being prepared, we will also add more accessories and accessories. Lightweight effect, so that everyone can match and combine to create their own fashionable combination.

We know that many people are looking forward to "Blade and Soul 2".

Although it is impossible to describe the entire development process of "Blade and Soul 2" Rebirth in this short letter, we very much hope to tell you the direction we want to change as soon as possible.

We will tell you more about the content of "Blade and Soul 2" in the form of letters in the future, including the story pack system that allows you to transform into a Blade and Soul to experience battles and stories, and the PvP gameplay full of competition and cooperation. expansion, etc.

We will continue to carry out development work with 100% sincerity, and look forward to the day when we can meet everyone who loves and cares about Blade and Soul in the new world.
