Expansion due April 12th with more than 4 million players having played the game so far
NCSOFT West today announced that Blade & Soul will be getting a massive new expansion this April in Europe and North America. This update also marks a shift in pace for the F2P game; moving forward, NCSOFT will offer larger and more ambitious expansions on a slightly slower release schedule to allow players more time to experience the content without having to feel rushed by the next update.
The ‘Secret of the Stratus’ expansion, due to launch this April, will bring a host of new changes to the game. An important improvement includes a full overhaul of the skill system, making it a lot more user-friendly while still allowing players the same degree of customization as before.
The ‘Secrets of the Stratus’ expansion also brings Act VII of the main story and several new PVE areas to the game, suitable for most end-game players:
- Naryu Sanctum – A challenging dungeon for six players and full of incredible rewards
- Celestial Basin – An exciting new open-world area for solo/casual players
- Mushin’s Tower – New floors and leaderboards are being added to this popular solo dungeon
- Training Room – A solo instance for players to practice skill combos and attack patterns
Finally, Blade & Soul is getting a purchasable voucher that will let players instantly create a new level 50 character. This will allow players who have been itching to try out a new class or get back into the game after a break a new quick way to experience a brand new high-level character!
