Blade & Soul Officially Launches In The West

It's been four years, but Blade and Soul has finally launched in North America and Europe. The launch concludes a long period of waiting in which it was uncertain whether Blade & Soul would ever launch in the West. But better late than never, right?

Anyone can head over to the official website, download the game, and play for free right now, regardless of whether they bought a Founder's Pack. The game's story is said to have been heavily altered for the Western release, but the gameplay remains intact. You can still jump in and enjoy action combat and what I've heard is some of the best arena PvP in the genre.

The current level cap is 45. The game currently features over 30 dungeons and Acts 1-3 of the story. Two epic level dungeons—"Blackram Supply Chain and E. Fleet Supply Chain"—were added to the game at launch.
