We have been gifted with another long trailer for Blade & Soul and it’s as gorgeous as the first. This one shows us four races and classes, classes with names translated by a twelve year old boy: Blade Master, Kung Fu Master, Force Master and Destroyer. But damn, they and the combat look sweet. We may have also seen another class, the gun-toting class, although they could be part of the Destroyer class. I’m predicting that it may be called Gun… Master.

There is a new MMORPG coming out from NCsoft called Blade & Soul. I heard about this in the second half of last year when a trailer was teased for a week and then finally released. Sadly since then, there really hasn’t been any more information leaked out besides a couple of tidbits. The art designer is Hyung-tae Kim, whom you may know as the character designer for War of Genesis III and Magna Carta, both PS2 games. As the trailer shows, it has a very striking visual style. It will still be a while before we get to play it though, as it is marked for beta testing in fourth quarter of this year.
