The news you’ve all been waiting for is finally here, Crickets!
The modern remaster of Blade & Soul’s signature fantasy universe, Blade and Soul NEO, will be available for free on Tuesday, February 25, in North America and Europe! We are so excited to share this moment with you, and we are anxiously awaiting the release date.
The newly remastered, free-to-play Blade & Soul NEO offers a visually elevated experience with new gameplay features, such as Infinite Windwalk, combat upgrades, and more. Join in the ultimate nostalgic gameplay experience as you re-enter the original, beautifully crafted storyline, engage with familiar characters, and once again become a master of the Hongmoon arts!
Starting February 11, players can pre-download the game in PURPLE launcher so they can jump right into the game when it releases. Following that, on February 18, character creation will open so you can take your time to reserve the name of your character and also customize, style, and personalize it before the game launches!

Creative Contests
It’s time for another art contest Crickets! This time, we are hosting two rewarding Discords very soon!
The Blade & Soul NEO Loading Screen Contest challenges players to create stunning artwork that captures the essence of Blade & Soul NEO through illustration, paint, or any other 2D media. The five winning artists will get the chance to have their creations featured as one of the in-game loading screens!
The Costume Design Contest is for fashionistas! Get your pencils ready and use your creativity to design a red-carpet worthy outfit for your Blade & Soul NEO character. One lucky winner will have the honor of their personally designed costume created by the development team and made available in-game!
Both contests will last 30 days, will be starting soon, and be hosted on the official Blade & Soul Discord. For more details, check back on bladeandsoul.com at a later date and join our official Discord here: discord.gg/bladeandsoulofficial.
More details on the contests will be announced soon, so please look forward to it.
