Blade & Soul to start open beta test

By Cho Mu-hyun

NCsoft, the nation’s top game developer, is poised to crush its biggest rival Blizzard Entertainment. Expectations are high for NCsoft’s new release Blade & Soul.

A firsthand look at the much-hyped massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) will finally be available Thursday when open beta tests start. The game is considered the only one with enough substance to equal that of Blizzard’s Diablo 3, released last month and currently reigning supreme here.
