Blade & Soul, aย martial arts-themed,ย action-combatย MMORPG by NCSoft, will start their closed beta on October 30. Anyone interested in participating in the closed beta canย purchase the Founder’s Pack for $25 — which guarantees a spot — or they can sign up onย Blade & Soul‘s official web site.

Full version ofย Blade & Soul is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2016.ย The game was originally released in Asia in mid-2012. Afterย reachingย several million subscribers throughout China, Japan and South Korea, developers announced the game would be releasedย domestically in September 2012.

NCSoft West producer Nicolas Coutant explained the purpose of the closed beta is to get “feedback and implement it in the final stages of development ahead of launch.” The beta also gives players the opportunity to explore the latest MMO from the makers ofย AION, Guild Wars 2, Lineage II,ย and WildStar.

Blade & Soul is described by NCSoft as “set in a beautiful and diverse world, and featuring a deep and cinematic story.” The game is heavily inspired by Far East and martial arts mythology. The game boasts a combo-driven action combat system that is playable in PvE dungeons or 1v1 PvP Arena battles.
