Blade & Soul Unreal Engine 4 update and new class coming next month

Back in March, we learned that NCSoft would be upgrading the western version of its MMO, Blade & Soul, to use Unreal Engine 4. The engine swap brings some major graphical upgrades and new features to the game. Better yet, the upgrade will be available starting next month. 

Blade & Soul was updated to Unreal Engine 4 in Korea some time ago. It took NCSoft a while, but the publisher finally announced that it would be rolling out the update worldwide earlier this year. Now after a few additional months of waiting, we've learned that Blade & Soul will be updated to Unreal Engine 4 on the 8th of September.

This upgrade not only polishes up the MMO's graphics, but it also implements new game and network optimisations for better performance, new game systems and the update will also introduce a brand new playable class.

The new class is the Dual Blade, allowing players to sacrifice defence for more offense, equipping two lightning-quick blades for hacking and slashing, utilising a smooth combo system.

Blade & Soul's Unreal Engine 4 update is coming on the 8th of September.
