By Yoon Sung-won

NCSOFT said it has launched its online role playing game “Blade & Soul” in the United States and Europe.

The nation’s leading online game company said its North American subsidiary NC West will publish the game in the regions. The game became available Tuesday (local time) and offers three language options ― English, German and French.

Unlike in Korea, the company provides the game on a free-to-play basis. Users can access basic game content free of charge and purchase additional paid content. Users can choose from seven character classes to train up to level 45. Multiplayer options such as a player-versus-player mode are also available, the company said.
