Overview

Bless Overview

Bless is a fantasy MMORPG set in a world torn apart by war between two factions, Hieron and Union. Players select their class and race, with their race determining which allegiance they bow to. Explore a gorgeous open world built on Unreal Engine 3, being the first to utilize the landscape tool developed by Epic Games. Photo realistic environments draw inspiration from medieval Europe, complete with Renaissance cultural themes and a divided political environment, and an accompanying soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer. Engage in realm-versus-realm combat of varying size and scale, from minor skirmishes to all out wars. Choose your role in the battle, on the front-lines as an intrepid soldier, or become a mercenary and extend your services to the highest bidder. Bless is heavily driven by narrative experience. The game originally launched as a buy to play title in the Western market, but went free to play on October 23, 2018.

Bless Key Features:

  • 10 Classes - Choose between 8 races and 10 classes with distinct play styles. (Most of these aren't out yet in the English version)
  • Deep Narrative - Two nations at war thrust players into a narrative conflict that affects NPC's, the player, and the landscape.
  • Gorgeous World - Built using Unreal Engine 3 and the first to use the engine's landscape tool to render nearly photo-realistic environments.
  • Extensive PvP - Wage realm-versus-realm, choosing your place in the chain of command from intel-gathering assassin to tactical commander.
  • Character Customization - Deep character customization tool lets players distinguish nearly every aspect of their avatar.

Development History / Background:

Bless is developed by Korean video game studio Neowiz Games. Bless is built on Unreal Engine 3 and is the first game to utilize the engine's landscape tools, specifically designed by Epic Games for Neowiz. The first Korean Closed Beta began on February 20, 2014 with the final Closed Beta beginning on September 17, 2015. Aeria Games signed a publishing agreement with Neowiz to bring the game to Europe and North America, but the deal fell through and Neowiz later decided to self-publish. The game launched as a buy to play title in the West but went free to play on October 23, 2018 upon exiting Steam early access. The Global version was shut down on September 09, 2019.
