Blade & Soul NEO is a revamped relaunch of NCSOFT's popular martial arts MMORPG, originally released in 2016. The NEO version modernizes the game with updated visuals, streamlined progression systems, and quality-of-life improvements while preserving the signature fast-paced, action-oriented combat the series is known for.\n\nSet in a Wuxia-inspired fantasy world, players choose from martial arts classes and engage in combo-driven real-time combat against monsters and other players. The game features an interconnected world of story-driven zones, dungeons, PvP arenas, and faction conflicts rooted in themes of revenge and honor.\n\nBlade & Soul NEO launched globally in February 2025 through NCSOFT's PURPLE launcher, followed by a Steam release in June 2025 with full cross-platform play between both clients. The game is free-to-play on PC.
