Rise of the Machines Coming to Blade and Soul on April 11th

In the wake of the upcoming AI apocalypse, Blade and Soul fans will be ahead of the game and ready to battle the onslaught of machines in the Automaton Assault Event Dungeon.

Hongsil and her brother, Chungsil, worked as assistants to the Three Sages at Mushin’s Tower. During the day she helped hopeful warriors work the Wheel of Fate, but at night she toiled away on her own secret projects. Intending to become the Earthen Realm’s next great engineer, she hoped to one day rival even the ancient Naryu with her own unique take on automatons—adding her own visual flair to them in the process. Unfortunately, her genius caught up with her, and her greatest creation to date wasn’t entirely willing to submit to its master’s commands.

The limited-time dungeon event will be available from April 11th to May 2nd, and players with a Level 50 character will be able to defeat the rogue robot once a day to collect special rewards. Players will also get a chance to snag the lovely "Phantom Flower" costume, the much awaited outfit from the winning entry of the 2017 Costume Design Contest.
