NCSoft Announces Several New Games, Including A Mobile Aion 2 And Multiple Blade & Souls
If you've been waiting for Aion 2 to be announced, it is, in fact, a thing. Although some of you might be less excited to find out that it's a mobile thing. Weirdly, despite the game's name indicating it's a sequel, it takes place 900 years before the events of Aion, when the Asmodians and Elyos were still one race.
Aion 2 was announced as part of NCSoft's South Korean media day, which included several announcements for the Blade & Soul franchise: Blade & Soul 2, Blade & Soul M, and Blade & Soul S. Blade & Soul actually is a sequel to the original game, picking up sometime in the future, while M is the requisite mobile offering. Blade & Soul S, on the other hand is more of a cutesy take on the IP, while still being a bit of a sequel to the original game.
A new Lineage 2 game was also announced, Lineage 2 M. As with Blade & Soul M, the "M" apparently stands for mobile.
More information on NCSoft's media day and all of these games can be found on MMOCulture.

You've been waiting for it since it was first shown off in July, salivated when a November launch was announced, and been constantly refreshing the Steam page for the past few days, but now the wait is over.

EU gets Grond and the US gets Sting, and I'm not sure which server name I like more.
The game is coming to both Xbox and PlayStation and will feature cross play and cross progression.
I've been covering this stuff for 15 years now and I still think about each of these from time to time.
I bet some of you are shocked those weren't available already.
I only heard that they would update to Unreal Engine 4 sometime in the future, there are several videos about it looking slick af.
Hope they do a better job optimizing the game before doing any other B&S bullcrap tho.
The game currently runs bad even on a i9 with a 1080ti.
