NC America have released a brand new trailer offering a glimpse into the upcoming Blade & Soul NEO remaster’s character creation system, which is now live as a standalone tool to create your very own character before the release next week.
Once upon a time Blade & Soul set the benchmark for character creation tools, serving as a precursor to the in-depth systems seen in games like Black Desert Online and Lost Ark. It’s a dense, intricate system in which you can create almost any character you like, before outfitting them with the dozens of cosmetic sets available in the MMO.
We recently previewed Blade & Soul NEO on Loot Level Chill, and were incredibly impressed with some of the new elements added into the remaster to bring it up to date. One of the main areas of improvement is in the character design and in-game fashion, which features loads of new items that can all be accessed in the game without needing to spend real money.
A complete rework along with a massive graphical overhaul and the addition of multiple quality of life elements makes Blade & Soul NEO the perfect entry point for fans looking for a new MMO, or a great reason to return for existing or past players.
In our preview we said: “While the story will remain largely unchanged, the new player experience has been improved. A revamped opening allows you to get familiar with the game systems before being thrust into a globe-trotting tale of revenge. MMOs can sometimes struggle to tell a coherent story with so many players at different points along a narrative path, but NEO will work hard to get you invested in the story and world before cutting you loose to tackle the adventure in your own way.”

Blade & Soul NEO will be available on PC on February 25, 2025 via Purple.
