'Blade & Soul' Vengeance Breaks Update Will Add New Content

by Rainier on May 18, 2016 @ 8:29 a.m. PDT

Blade & Soul is an Asian Martial Arts MMORPG that breaks the traditional confined and monotonous game plays, providing the gamers a completely new experience.

Blade & Soul delivers an engaging story and vibrant world for players to explore. In the game, players must fight to avenge the death of their fallen master in a classic Wuxia storyline. Wuxia, which literally means "martial hero", is a broad genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists in ancient China. As players explore the world in Blade & Soul, they will see a fusion of Asian cultures that delivers stunning landscapes and vistas.

Blade & Soul defies typical MMO conventions, delivering action-based combat with ability combos and a flexible party role system that does not require dedicated healers. It gives players unprecedented movement abilities around the world as their characters leap over mountains and fly through the air.


Going live 1 June, the Vengeance Breaks update features never-before-seen environments, challenges, and even the ability to adopt pets to accompany you on your journey.

All-new content in Vengeance Breaks includes the Sundered Nexus dungeon, 24-member open world Zaiwei Ruins, an Infinite Tower that challenges players to complete AI-controlled fights in a race against the clock, and the Altar of Divine Will where warriors must attempt to stop Jinsoyun once and for all. And did we mention pets?  

  • Will you be able to stop the Divine Mandate Ritual, or will you succumb to the darkness inside and seek revenge against your Master's killer? A stunning end to the Act 4 story awaits.
  • The Tower of Infinity is the ultimate single-player challenge. Defeat a random, AI-controlled challenger on each floor, and see how high you can climb before the timer runs out, or you're defeated.
  • New Heroic Dungeons: Party with others to defeat these new challenges!
  • Now you can have your very own companion! Pets will follow you around and provide a defensive buff when fed. Along with a wide selection of existing pets, two new exclusive pets are coming to Blade & Soul in North America and Europe: a Griffin and Otter!
  • Gain experience to increase yourHongmoon Level: Each Hongmoon Level will unlock additional training points.
