NC America has announced that Blade & Soul NEO, a modern remaster of the original Blade & Soul fantasy game, will be available for free (supported by microtransactions) on PC in North America and Europe from Tuesday 25 February 2025.
Ahead of the official launch, players have two opportunities to engage with the game early. Starting Tuesday, 11 February, Blade & Soul NEO will be available for pre-download via NCSOFT’s PURPLE platform, allowing players to prepare in advance for launch day. Additionally, from Tuesday, 18 February, players can access the game’s character creation feature. This enables them to reserve a character name and customise their character’s appearance prior to the game’s release.
NC America has also opened pre-registration, offering players a bonus cosmetic package. An optional pre-order package is available (for $29.99 USD or $59.99USD), which includes an exclusive character outfit, in-game currency, and additional items.
Countries supported by Blade & Soul NEO are spaced across two servers – NA and EU. Countries able to access the NA server include USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Australia and New Zealand. The EU server on the other hand also permits access by US-based players in addition to Czech Republic, Belgium, France, UK, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Romania and Turkey.
