Blade & Soul NEO Classic Gets Another Video Preview, But Still No Release Date

NCSoft is saying anything yet when it comes to the release date of Blade & Soul NEO Classic. Everything they've shown for the MMORPG thus far looks like nice upgrades, but when players will get a chance to go hands-on to check it out remains up in the air.

In the latest dev vlog, we get a preview of some of the changes coming with Blade & Soul NEO Classic. The team is focused on making the experience less grindy, an improved main story quest experience, and improvements to things like dungeons and exploration.

Blade & Soul NEO Classic is also introducing hidden quests which appear to players as they adventure through the world. The Phantom Catacombs is a new heroic dungeon coming in NEO Classic as well.

As for that release date, well, they aren't budging:

"We too want to provide a clear schedule for NEO Classic’s release. However, we fear that by promising a release date, we’ll end up releasing NEO Classic in an incomplete state for the sake of keeping that promise, even before fully implementing the changes that players wish for.

"We would like to sincerely apologize that we can’t satisfy your curiosity regarding the release schedule at this time. However, we promise to give it our all in creating the best possible version of Blade & Soul NEO Classic that will surpass your expectations and reward you for your patience."

Sigh. We can only continue to wait. Check out some of the team's previous previews in the meantime.
